The Tournament of Deadly
Sins

The tournament of sins will encompass a great many different
contests and competitions with each affording points of specific
nature (i.e. Lust, Wrath, Envy, etc.)

All groups and individuals competing in the overall tournament
will register at gate so that the scoreboard can reflect the point
values.

When a competitor gains points during the event they can decide
to keep the points for themselves or donate them or “merc” them to
a group or household for the overall tournament.  Donating
points to a group will definitely give a greater advantage for the final win but there can be WAY
more gloating if an individual wins the overall tournament.

“Merc”ing yourself or your points out to another group or groups
is completely within the rules of the tournament.  An
agreement can be made before hand to compete for a group or
individual for a certain price (i.e. goods, services, etc); or,
after placing in a tournament or tournaments, you can put your
points up for negotiation to the highest bidder.

Each tournament will have three winners; 1^st,
2^nd & 3^rd.  Winners will get 3
points, 2 points and 1 point respectively.  There may be
additional points allowed and given for specific aspects of each
contest.  (i.e. the master of the Pride tourney can give an
extra point for an overly elaborate costume or heralding of
him/herself.)

The competitions will be as follows:

Rapier (Pride
Points):

This tourney will embody the sin of pride.

Bardic &
Bawdy Bardic Contests (Lust Points):

These two contests will offer Lust points.  If there are
contestants that win in both bardics they must choose which
bardic they wish their points to be from (assumed to be the highest
point amount, not the sum of both contests).

Siege Cooking,
Potluck Dishes & Brewing/Cordial Contests (Gluttony
Points):

This large contest will have multiple sections.  There will
be a cordial contest for non-brewed beverages, a brewing/vinting
contest and a siege cooking contest.  However since this set
is for gluttony, ANY and ALL dishes/drink of the same contestant
will be summed for their total.  So if the same person submits
three brews AND three dishes, they can win ALL places and sum the
total points.  This way people who do not fight can still have
a chance and it is worthwhile to have fighters branch out. 
Welcome to Gluttony!

The potluck dishes are a brand new addition to the
contest.  If a person, or persons, wish to make a period dish
to share at the communal potluck feast they may gain a Gluttony
point.  The dish may be premade and brought to the event or
cooked on site, however it must have an ingredient list and period
documentation with it.  The documentation does not have to be
complicated.  I.e. Your name, the ingredients list and wording
of original recipe w/ book or document it came from.  Please
make it know to the staff that you are using it for Gluttony points
in the contest.  1 point per dish ergo you can bring multiple
dishes and/or drinks you can gain a goodly few points.

Archery (Envy
Points):

A tournament embodying the sin of Envy will encompass this
contest.

Heavy Combat
(Wrath Points):

Wrath points can go to most furious fighter, etc.

Tablero
Tournament (Sloth Points):

Sloth points will go to the winners of this contest.

30 & 1 (or
other period gambling game) (Greed Points)

Greed points will be given to the winner or winners, etc,
etc.

 

Once all the contests are over all points may be donated to your
house or ship and totaled.  The group with the highest total
(household, ship, fighting group, individual, etc.) with the
greatest total of points will be titled Champion/s of Sin! 
The prize will be a handmade silk flag symbolizing the 7 deadly
sins that will be pridefully flown at all future events!

The winning team will also get a 6′ handmade custom flag
(pennant) of their choosing to be delivered after the event once
they decide what the design will be.
