Singlestick has long been used to train for Broadsword and British Military Sabre use; it was even an Olympic event in 1904. Participants use a 36-inch long stick with leather basket to protect their hand – not unlike the Highland Baskethilt Broadsword. The tournament comprises three phases: Pools, Elimination, and Finals. The Finals feature the day’s four top fencers competing in three-minute rounds.
