Commentators will like last year be Scott Hellroth and Matt Galas, but this year they will be joined by specific expert commentators for the different weapon styles.
This years live cast promises to be even more ambitious than last year! We have an even better camera crew on hand, who usually works with live casting top national sports event such as the Swedish Elite hockey series.
We are also working together with the dutch companies Malienkolders and Mblades to provide a professional presentation system for every fight (this will also feature in the pool fights wich will be available for view on youtube after the event).
In order to make all of this happen we would gratefully receive your help!
In order to donate and participate in the competition for a t-shirt signed by all Swordfish tournament winners, see this link!
