Styrr Inn-Hersir Olafsson
Bardic Champion, Aquaterra
Arts and Sciences Championship
It gives me great pleasure to announce the requirements
for the Arts and Sciences Championship which
will be held Saturday, June 21:
Submit two entries – these entries may be either items or
research papers (or one of each).
Now for the catch (come on, you knew there had to be one). Both
entries must relate to the same persona
(big surprise, huh?). This need not be your persona, just the
same persona. i.e. a weaver from Tudor
London, a monk from 13th century Florence, a Jarl from 9th
century Birka, a lady from 16th century
Poland – use your interests and imagination –
research something new!
More information will be forthcoming later, but I wanted to get
this posted so that you can get planning and
working.
If you have any question, please feel free to contact me off
list.
Send letters of intent to Baron Steinolf steinolf@gmail.com

Baronial Youth Armored Combat
Championship
The All Champions Tourney is scheduled for the Sunday June 22 of
the Boars Hunt/All Champions
Weekend. The qualifications for the Baronial Championship are
posted below this write up, so please
read this over carefully for there are some specific items that
might affect those youths currently in the
YAC program. I bring this up not to try and dissuade anybody
from entering the tourney, but to make sure
they understand that this is different from a normal
tournament.
I will address one item in particular. Youths from all three
divisions are welcome to enter the tournament,
however, the Baronial Champion will be chosen from the Dragon
Division only for reasons of duty and
responsibility.
For those who wish to enter, please inform me of your intention
after sending your letter of intent (email) to
Their Excellencies Baron Steinolf steinolf@gmail.com, and
Baroness Sineidin sera.kendal@gmail.com
(this is so I have a good idea of who will all be
attending).
If you have questions regarding the letter of intent, please let
me know.
Please find below the specific requirements and format for the
YAC Tournament.
COMPETITION
FORMAT
a) The entrants must attend morning court the day of the
tournament and be prepared to present
themselves to their Excellencies along with the other
competitors when they are called forth for the
invocation.
b) The entrants must present themselves to the YAC Warden
following court the day of the tournament to
declare their intentions to enter the competition.
c) The entrants must have a parent or guardian present at
all times during the competition.
d) The entrant must pass armor inspection and have a clear
understanding of the rules of combat as set
forth in the An Tir Book of Youth Armoured Combat.
e) It should be understood that youth champions, as
opposed to adult champions, may not be considered
officers of the SCA and shall have no corporate
responsibilities.
f) The tournament will be fought in a round robin format.
All combatants will be allowed to fight each other
at least once. At the end, the two combatants with the highest
ratio of wins to loses will fight in a separate
“finals tournament” the format being the best two out of
three.
g) The “Finals Tournament” will be a best out
of three separate bouts. In the past, theses competitions
have each featuring a different set of weapons; Sword &
Shield, Great Swords & Glaves. However, I will
give the two finalists a choice as to which weapons they would
like to use in the Finals bout.
Please Note: If used, the Great Weapons will be supplied to the
combatants but it is expected they will
bring their own sword & shield.

– Current Champion: Lord Phydeaux Weir
Gamesmanship Championship
The Challenge will be held on Saturday, June 21. As different
people are skilled in different areas – ie..
strategy, physical prowess, luck… I thought it would be a
fairer and truer test to have a challenge that
includes 3 games that require these different skill sets.
Game of the Goose – luck of the dice – multiplayer – 1 game –
all challengers play at same time
Bocce Ball – physical prowess – multiplayer – 1 game – all
challengers play at same time
Mancala – Strategy – multiplayer – 1 game – all challengers play
at same time – I have a board that
accomodates up to 4 people.
Players get points at the end of each game:
1st = 5pts
2nd = 4pts
3rd = 3pts
4th = 2 pts
The player with the highest point total after all the games are
played is the winner.
– In the event of a tie for first place, there will be a Tafl
tournament to break the tie.
Those wishing to compete are invited to send a letter of intent
to His Excellency Baron Steinolf:
steinolf@gmail.com, Her Excellency, Baroness Sineidin at
sera.kendal@gmail.com and to myself at
lynnestartup@frontier.com no later than June 19, 2014.

Baronial Equestrian Championship
Their Excellencies Steinolf Ketilsson and Sineidin inghean an
Bhiadtaigh, Baron and Baroness of
Aquaterra, are pleased to announce the Equestrian Championship
of the Barony of Aquaterra. Like last
year, this competition will be in the form of a quest, which
officially begins at Aquaterra’s All Champions/
Boars Hunt (June 20-22, 2014).
Scores from any equestrian contest held at any SCA event in the
Knowne World will count towards thetotal accrued score (including
those which occur between the date of this announcement and the
official
invocation at All Champions/Boars Hunt). Competitors will need
to get the Equestrian Marshal in Charge
(EMIC) to verify their placing in the event, the event
name/date, and the number of competitors, as this is
part of the scoring calculations. Scores for the Championship
must be submitted by Friday September
20th, 2013 and the Equestrian Champion of Aquaterra shall be
announced and inducted during Evening
Court at Banner War.
Scoring Information:
Competitors get points based on their overall standing for an
event anywhere in the SCA:
1st place= 5 points x the number of competitors
2nd= 4 x # of competitors
3rd= 3 points x # of competitors
4th place= 2 points x # of competitors
5th place= 1 point x # of competitors
1 Point for every event competed but not placed in
Just like in archery, the competitors score will be based on an
average of their top three scores – this
means that every candidate will need to compete in a minimum of
three equestrian competitions, but the
greater the number of events, the better the chance for a good
score.
Eligibility:
· All entrants must be paid members of the SCA, Inc.
· All entrants must be at least 18 years of age.
· All entrants must present themselves in Opening
Baronial Court on Saturday morning at All
Champions/Boars Hunt when the competitors for each competition
are called forth, to proclaim their intent

Invocation.
· All entrants must submit proof of membership, modern
and SCA names and complete contact
information (e-mail if applicable and phone number) right after
Opening Court (or with their Letter of
Intent). Failure to provide proof of membership will result in
immediate disqualification. Entrants must
assume responsibility for reading the rules of the Championship
and complying with all parts of those
rules.
