Fall Crown Letters of Intent: Now Open!

It’s that time of year again! Soon Donovan & Meghanta will be crowned king and queen of the East, and shortly thereafter, they’ll be searching for heirs.

If you are interested in reigning and serving the East in this capacity, Baron Thomas of Effingham, the Seneschal of the East, is now collecting Letters of Intent. You may fill that out via the Seneschal website.

Note: Pairs intending to fight for each other must each fill out the form as a combatant.

Letters of Intent must be received no later than 11:59pm Eastern on October 2, 2025.

For eligibility requirements, please review East Kingdom Law Section II.C. (https://www.eastkingdom.org/offices/law-policy/)

Eastern Fall Crown Tournament will be held in the Barony of Carolingia on November 1, 2025.

Format & Conventions

Fall Crown will be fought under armored/rattan rules and conventions.

Details on the tournament format are below.  Please direct any questions to Donovan and Meghanta.

1) Round Robin:  Probably four pools, subject to change based on number of entrants or other concerns.  Bring your best, single pass, refight doubles until clean.  If necessary, ties will be resolved first by comparing who beat who in the pool, with fight-offs as needed.

2) Sweet 16:  Double elimination tree.  Bring your best, single pass, refight doubles until clean.

3) Semi-finals:  Winner’s list vs loser’s list.  Winner needs one victory to advance to the finals, loser needs two.  Bring your best.

4) Finals.  These will be best 4 of 7.  The first pass will be greatsword, subsequent passes will be rotating non-repeating weapon forms.  The loser of the previous pass chooses the form for the next pass.

If the combatants reach a 3-3 tie, the combatants will each bring their best form for the final pass.

Note: If you are planning on choosing a particularly specific weapon form (Dane axe, 6′ spears, something that nobody has thought of) consider bringing a matched set to ensure that your opponent will be able to meet you.
