Children’s Championship

 

Eligibility ages:

This year, two youth champions will be named; a junior champion (ages 8-11) and a senior champion (ages 12-17)

 

Rules for the competition:

All participants must attend opening Court at 10 AM the day of the event and state their intentions to compete. A bonus point will be given for the presentation of a period letter of intent done by the entrants hand, at the discretion of the Baron and Baroness.

 

All participants are required to compete in 4 of the 6 categories. If a participant wishes to compete in all 6, the highest scores from the top 4 categories will be counted towards the participant’s total score. 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 2^nd place

-1 point for 3^rd 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 1^st place)

 

Categories:

 

-Archery (Caerdic organizing, Elwin assisting)

-Arts and sciences (Isolda or Designee organizing)

-Bardic (Arwen and Emryn organizing)

-Heraldry (Stanton organizing, Edelinne assisting)

-Youth Combat (Rychard organizing)

 

 

 

Archery:

A parent MUST be at the range with the youth, no exceptions.

 

Youth archery:

Juniors will shoot 3 rounds from all ranges, these being 20 yards, 15 yards and 10 yards, with a 45 second speed round at 10 yards.

 

Seniors will shoot 3 rounds from all ranges, these being 20 yards, 15 yards and 10 yards, with a 30 second speed round at 10 yards.

Highest score determines the victors.

 

 

 

Arts and Sciences:

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. Each entry should be no longer than 2 pages, not counting the cover, 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 is not the only thing they will be looking at.

 

 

 

Bardic:

Your entry in the Bardic competition can be song, poem, story, instrumental piece, or performance arts such as juggling, tumbling or sleight of hand. For example, it can be: a piece written or created in period; a piece created by you in a period style (Ex. A norse style poem, a Elizabethan sonnet); or a piece created about period events or people.

 

Bardic arts often rely oral tradition (spoken word) so written documentation can be challenging to find. Minimal written documentation is encouraged, and a bonus point may be awarded for detailed documentation, at the judges discretion. Be prepared to explain and discuss your entry with the judges. (Hint, it will probably help to write down what you want to say).You will be presenting your entry to one or two judges( not the general public or big crowds) so don’t be nervous. Bardic is a performance art so perform! Pretend you are really a Middle Ages person presenting your entry. You don’t have to memorize your piece, but a bonus point may be added if you do.

 

 

 

Heraldry

 

The heraldry portion will include a written exam, a group participation portion, and the older youths will have a chance to herald rounds during the rapier tournament.

 

 

 

 

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 Kingdom web site for all rules and armor requirements for youth combat.

 

 

 

Period Board Games

 

Play one time each :

 

Nine Man’s Morris

Halatafl / Fox and Geese

Ships Mistress/ Connect Four

Chess

 

I will keep track of the wins and losses and give bonus points for knowing how to play each of the games already, Skill and knowing the history of the game , then add scores to get first second and third place.

One point for playing.

I will teach all rules to games, so any can play.

 

 

 

 

Words from the Autocrat:
