BHGS Teams @ LGT 2021

After a near 2-year delay, the BHGS Teams event at LGT finally took place in September 2021 at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre, alongside the 1,000+ player "GW", SF and fantasy themed competitins of the London Grand Tournament.

As the UK gradually emerged from Covid-related restrictions over the course of 2021 many historical systems had made a return to competition action, however with just shy of 100 players taking part across 6 different historical periods (DBM, DBMM, L'Art de la Guerre, Field of Glory Ancients and To The Strongest!) the BHGS Teams was the first multi-ruleset historicals competition to take place in the UK in almost 2 years. 

Alongside the UK-based competitors we also were very pleased to welcome a handful of international-based players from Spain and Germany to both the Field of Glory and L'Art de la Guerre competitions - and all of our overseas visitors managed to take trophies home with them too! 

The results are as follows: 

DBM

A first outing for DBM at the BHGS Teams @ LGT, DBM this year ran as a 4-round singles event
