Archery 3
Points:
Scenario one Advancing line
shoot
As the forces of Tir Righ and Avacal meet the archers are
working as skilled infantry shooters to pepper the enemy
lines with arrows.
A line of archers advance as foot troops on a stationary
target, the archers must advance, knock, and loose in time
with one another.
Scenario 2 Sniper shoot
The lines have broken and the enemy has take cover, you must
hit the opposing troops through the wall they are hiding
behind.
Elimination style shoot from random distance.
Scenario 3 Timed obstacle shoot to save your Prince!
The princes of Avcal and Tir Righ have met on the battle
field, you must save your prince by shooting his adversary
but do not hit the Crown Prince of AnTir!
Archers will shot this one at a time. Archer will have a set
time to advance and fire using archers “shields”
for cover. Archers will have a set time to complete this
course, and must fire from each position.

Rapier 3
Points:
Scenario 1 Both sides meet on the field of battle. This
scenario is the first of many excursions for the Defenders to
quell the Invading Army.  This scenario meet in an open
field (or as open as we can find), and pit the Champion’s
ability to lead the forces of their Principalities. This is a
great warm-up battle to allow the chaos of battle and see
what Melee is about.
Ressurections – No
RBG’s: Yes, 1 shot/gun (Equal Guns/Side)
Time – No time limit, but it should last approximately 20
mins
Points  1 point to the victorious side.
Scenario 2  The victors of the first battle have pushed
into the enemy territory, but the border between our lands is
mountainous and treacherous, with 1 choke point that the
defenders can try to slow or halt the advance.  Can the
attackers break through these defences and hold them to
complete a successful raid?
Win Outcomes: If the invaders succeed in taking the banner
out of the ground (held by a banner holder) and they are
alive to hold it over their shoulders; then the invaders
win.
If the defenders succeed in staving off the invaders for a
full time of 15 minutes and with their banner staying in the
ground and rising less then the shoulder length; then the
defenders win.
Note: this battle occurs again with the invaders now the
defenders and vice versa.
Resurrections: No
RBG’s: No
Time Limit: Yes, 15 Minutes
Points: 1 point awarded to victor of outcomes
Scenario 3  Capture the Flag is the theme for this
scenario, as each team tries to capture the each other’s flag
while defending theirs.  Each team will have their
respective banner behind them to start off, the banner cannot
be moved by the side which protects it (unless it is dropped
by an opposing team, then it must returned to the banner
holder).  Each team will protect their banner while
attempting to capture the other team’s banner. The victorious
side will capture the other’s banner and bring it back to
their banner holder. The team that completes this first will
win the scenario. Resurrections Points will be on opposing
sides in the middle of the field, Avacal Right, Tir Righ Left
(this is to prevent resurrecting near the banners and
guarding).
Resurrections: Yes Unlimited
RBG’s: Yes, 1 shot/gun (Equal Guns/Side)
Time Limit: Yes 15 Mins
Points: 1 point awarded to victor of outcomes
Scenario 4  The Champions meet in a final battle to
decide the War Point for Rapier If the results are tied, then
the chosen few (10 each side) will fight in a melee with the
armies of the Principalities watching and cheering on. If the
War Point is decided, then this battle is for honour and
representing our respective Principalities and for the fun of
it. There will be 10 fighters aside that will fight till
there is only one side standing.
Resurrections: No
RBG’s: No
Time Limit: No Limit
Points: 1 point awarded to the victor

Heavy: up
to 5 points
A push war with 3 battles, a
side must win the first battle before moving onto the next. A
Principality will have to win each battle in order to win the
war. i.e.: if X wins the Field Battle we move onto the Bridge
Battle, if Y wins the Bridge Battle we move back to the Field
battle, if Y wins the Field Battle we then move back to the
Bridge Battle.

Field Battle (with Archers)
Bridge Battle (no Archers)
Relic Battle (with Archers)
Relic Battle: The principality that won the last Bridge
Battle must seize control of the fort. Defenders must split
their troops however they wish between the inside of the fort
and the Relic, (a large object requiring two people to carry)
If the defenders can get the relic into the fort they win and
the battle is pushed back to the Bridge.

Secret
Points:
There will be several top secret points for pre-determined
activities through out the weekend, so do your best, you
never know what might be worth a point to your Principality!

CLASSES: There
is no cost for classes.
Class Sizes are limited, please sign up at the A&S
pavilion in the Town Square Saturday morning.
Stitches: Learn some dark age stitches,
perhaps to use one your siege bag??
Constructing a French Hood: Ahhh, Anne
Boleyn! Of all the things she did, bringing the French Hood
to the English court is one of the better known. This class
will focus on teaching you the methods and materials, both
period and modern, that can be used to construct a classic
French Hood. We will also cover a little bit of portrait
interpretation, and see the progression of the French hood
from the Tudor through Elizabethan periods. We will also be
making a mock-up in paper of a french hood, a hands-on
approach to the first step!
Finger Loop Braiding: In the class we will
cover one or two variations of five-loop cord, and discuss
possible uses. If time allows, we will cover a third
variation using ten loops.

Games &
Party in the Square & Sangria Contest!
Saturday night after court join Their Highnesses in the Town
Square for an evening of fun! Casino style games, fundraisers
and fun raisers.
Since the Princess of Tir Righ has a certain…fondness…for
this particular drink, we are going to have a Sangria
contest!
There are so many recipes and so many ways to make it, and we
have decided that we should narrow down which is really the
best (and then Her Highness would like the recipe!!).
This will be a no-war-points, totally-for-fun kind of thing,
with the sangria being a donation towards the evening’s
festivities, so there will be
no cost to try it. There will be a prize for the best recipe.
Participants will have to provide their own “dispensing”
system, and samplers would be expected to bring their ID (19
is the drinking age in BC) and own drinking vessel. You can
enter a recipe individually or as a team of any number, with
no minimum amount.
