Madame Jacqueline de Lioncourt
A&S Champion, Three Mountains
–If you know a skill, and you plan on engaging in that skill at
the event, please bring along extra supplies to teach your
knowledge to another. For example, embroiderers will bring extra
hoops, linen, floss, and needles.
Armorers will bring extra wire and pliers to teach chain mail
construction.

–Those of you who choose to pick up this gauntlet will be so
identified by a blue, white, and green braid of my making. You will
be known as members of the Three Mountains’ “I Can” Team.

–Come and find me in the Children’s Area. We will have many
dayshades, chairs, and tables. Youth and adults alike will find
many of my own “I Can” packets featuring a variety of activities.
You can learn to weave yarn,
braid yarn, sew a pouch by hand, appliqué, embroider with a
few basic stitches, paint with gouache, do calligraphy, tell some
easy stories, and  sing a few easy songs.

Youth Championship Rules:

For all the youths in our fair barony, Below is all the information
about the competitions – please feel free to contact me with
any questions you have.
All of these things are desirable traits in any champion but three
are required for our Youth Champion (youths age 8 -17)

Strength at arms, Precision at the bow, Service to AnTir, Skill of
items wrought by one’s own hand, Tactics and strategy of a
General (games)

All participants must state their intent to enter (and be accepted
by the baronial coronets) during court at the Three Mountains
Championship Tournament.
This should be in the form of a scroll written in your own
hand.

All participants are required to compete in a minimum of three
contests. The youth with the highest overall points is the winner
of the championship.

Points are awarded for each category as follows: 1 point per
category just for competing,  3 points for 1st place,  2
points for 2nd place,  1 point for 3rd place.   If
there is only one competitor in the category, that entrant will
receive a
total of 4 (1 for entering and 3 for taking 1st place)

The Contests are as follows:

SKILL OF ITEMS WROUGHT BY ONE’S OWN HAND-A period item
created by your own hands. Your entry information should
represent
a time and place of your choice. Documentation is not required but
having it will increase your chances of succeeding.   If
you choose to do documentation, it should be no longer than 2
pages, (not
counting the cover and source pages), and should tell the judges
where your entry was found, when and how it would have been used,
and how you made it. Each  entrant’s documentation should be
in his or her own words and be neatly written.
Remember, your documentation will help the judges decide what your
score is but it is not the only thing they will be looking at.

SERVICE – A minimum of two hours of service during the event and
completed before closing court begins. Each additional hour of
service will earn an additional point. The Youth championship
coordinator (Vivien NicUldoon) can help you find
opportunities for service at the event.

STRENGTH AT ARMS – Youth Combat: All participants MUST wear groin
protection. Females MUST wear chest armor. The youth combat
competition will be held according to the Kingdom
of An Tir rules. Helmet and body armor is required. See the Kingdom
web site for all rules and armor requirements for youth combat.

TACTICS & STRATEGY OF A GENERAL – The competition is for
the best two out of three games of Nine Man Morris. The game rules
the championship will use are at

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdZxUQyyzQupZGdtdm5qaGtfNmhiY2Z4amZz&hl=en

PRECISION AT THE BOW – This year we will be having a novelty shoot.
I’m working on having youth loaner gear onsite for
competitors to use, but can not yet guarantee it – If you
want
to compete, and will need loaner gear, please contact me as soon as
possible. Don’t forget: A parent MUST be at the range with
the youth, no exceptions.

YIS,  Vivien  NicUldoon
