SITE CLOSES
vHeavy
Battles: Proposed
a 4 stage push battle.
For
those that don’t know, a push battle works like this: The
winner
of the first battle proceeds to be the attacker in the
second, if
they win we all move on to the third battle, and if not it
all takes
a step back to the first scenario. The war is won
when one side
eventually wins the last scenario. If every battle is
won by the
same side consecutively, it can go very fast, or it can
bounce
between the first and second battles and last for
hours.
First battle would be a field battle with archery.
(Shittimwoode)
Second
battle would be a bridge battle without archery.
(Crossing
into losing
barony, while ignoring Midhaven’s presence…)
battle would be a wall battle. Two gates through the
wall,
fighting over it, but archery can only go through the
gates.
Not terribly realistic, but helps separate it from a bridge
battle.
(Busting into defenders fort) .
Fourth battle would see the defending barony holding the
keep, lost
the royal or their representative is killed. No
archery.
(classic game of kill the Baron)
vRapier
Battles
vCombat
Archery
vYouth
combat
SATURDAY
and SUNDAY: tounament style combat in the
eric.
Loaner gear and instruction

vThrown
weapons competitions. from 10
am to 5 pm on Saturday
We will have the
thrown weapons field open for knife, ax and spear throw
competitions.
The specialty throws will be open from 10am-12pm on
Sunday.
The specialty throw will include:
Women’s peasant throw, frying pan to head, kitchen utensils
and peasant pitchforks.
We
will provide all implements for these
throws.
vArchery
Competitions.
Archery specialty shoots galore, and York
Rounds.
At
Warren War will offer target archery including York and Royal
rounds, and specialty shoots.
We’ll
also have two fighting scenarios including combat archery, and
a separate battle
among combat archers (if they show up.)
Brynmor has offered to organize and
run
something like
a box tourney on a large
scale.
v
Equestrian competitions.
SATURDAY; traditional competitions
SUNDAY: Hunt for “The Holy Grail”.
vBardic
Championship: The Bunny Bard will be chosen in a
tournament style.
Depending
on how many enter, it will either be a double elimination or
a single elimination.
There will be a panel of three judges to declare the winner
of each round. Winner of each
round will be determined by how close
contestant stays to the theme, general
impression
and entertainment value,
and by audience appeal. (ie, if the audience loves you
,
but I hate you, you
can still
win!)
You will be allowed to challenge your fellow bards in the
first round, but will be paired
up
thereafter, just like crown
tourney.
The first two rounds will have the themes already decided and
you can prepare for them.
The first round will be: Broken
heart
The
second Round will be: Revenge
Remember that any of the following
subjects may be chosen in
the
following
rounds, so having a good repertoire is key to this
tournament.
Each round before, the next round will be chosen from the
list of possibilities
that will be drawn from a hat. Thus I wont have the stigma of
being “mean” and
being biased for or against any particular Bard!
Don’t forget that you will be timed,5 minutes max for each
entry. so it
would
be a good idea to practice your choices to make sure they are
not over long,
we don’t want to have to cut you off, but I am ruthless and I
will do it!
I personally love this style of competition because it is all
about repertoire,
versatility, and lots and lots of variety!
Hope to see many people going out for this!
Regards,
Baroness Anastasia Alexandrovna Andreeva (OL)
Principality of Tir Righ A&S Champion
Barony of Aquaterra A&S Champion
The rounds there after will be any from the following
list:
Hunting, love, honor, defeat, victory, ghosts, death, dark,
King, Tournament,
castle, journey,
Heaven, Hell, Horse, Juggler, thief,
Earth, Water, Fire, Wind,
All four elements together,
Moon and stars, Poet, clergy man,
maiden, witch,
soldier, peasant, nobleman,
blacksmith.
You will not know
until that round what theme will be chosen. This is to
inspire you
to build a repertoire. If you choose to do something that has
nothing to do with
the theme you will automatically not make it to the next
round. If we are not
sure if you have covered the theme we may ask you to explain
yourself, giving
you a chance to convince us that you should not be
eliminated. Winner will be
by
process of elimination, the last one standing is the
winner.
You
can enter a story, song, poem, dance, juggling, whatever will
follow the theme.
There is a 5 minute limit for each performance and a timer
will be at the judges
table.
You WILL be cut off if you go over. We don’t have all
night.
The winner will be announced and a good time will be had by
all, and those
not
drinking at the time
can
