Tournament Information

Crown Tournament

Please Note: In our efforts to be more environmentally conscious we will NOT be “waterbearing” as it has been done in the past. But we do know how important hydration is, therefore there will be a self-serve water station.

This Water Point will be open and staffed during all tournaments.

It will be located on the erics and very visible. The fighters come to it, we do not go to them as in the past.

If they have their own water bottles they can refill them, or we will have paper cups they can use to get water from the jugs. There will be plentiful, fresh water to drink. We will have snacks. There will also be misters set up to cool down and refresh.

We will NOT be providing bottled water. We highly encourage all fighters ( or everyone really) to bring their own reusable water bottles.

Newcomers Event FAQ for May Crown:
What is the purpose of this event?

• • This is the first of two very large annual events to choose our next King & Queen by armored combat. There will be a large tournament, lots of pageantry, parties in the evenings, merchants, classes and all sorts of things to see and do. Do not be afraid to ask questions, or to join in – we were all new at one point, too.
• What do I need to bring?
  • This is a camping event, so unless day-tripping, you will need a tent, bedding, shower bag, etc. Be prepared for wind, rain, sun, etc. It is early spring. There will be ample open camping spots, or ask at the gate where your local group is camped. You will need “garb” – medieval-style clothing, but that can be as simple as a tunic or long dress. Don’t worry about being totally historically accurate at your first few events, find the era that inspires you! Bring a light/flashlight. It is a good idea to have a clean set of clothes for the drive home, too.
• Do I need to bring food?
  • Yes, you will need to bring your own food and some way to cook it, a cooler, etc. Usually all SCAers have “feast gear” – spoon/knife/bowl/plate/mug or goblet with them at all events because we are a bring-your-own-dishes sort of group.
• Can I bring my dog?
  • For this event, yes you can. All dogs must be on a leash with a human attached to it! They should be vaccinated for rabies, etc. Please have “doggie bags” to clean up after them. Please note:
    
  • There will be horses onsite! If your dog has never seen one or is aggressive to them be aware of that and act responsibly. Disruptive/aggressive dogs will be restricted to your camp or asked to leave.
• Can I bring my kids?
• • Yes! We love kids. They must be supervised by an adult and there are waivers to sign at the gate. Bring toys, books, games for them for camp time. – even armored tourneys can get boring for little ones. There is a large municipal playground onsite for them to play at.
• Are there other rules I should know about?
• • Yes, there are. All of those will be in the site handout you will receive when you check in at the gate. Mostly common sense stuff. It will also include a list of classes, and if you see a “Newcomers Class” it is a great way to meet people and learn the ropes. 

Tell the gate people you are new. They can direct you to our “Chatelaine”, which is our new member officer. Their job is to guide you and help you find your way around in this lovely Society of ours.  Welcome to the SCA!
