Greeting to the Populace of the SCA,

We the King and Queen of the East, in unity with the Prince and Princess of the Middle, Alric and Katherine wish to jointly emphasize our delight in the excitement that is being generated around the Pennsic schedule. It was our intent to furnish the war point schedule in a polished and edited complete form within the next few weeks, but as many of you are aware it has come out a little before its due date.

Please be aware that we will be officially publishing the revised and edited Pennsic war points schedule shortly for public consumption.The war conventions will follow after a thorough review. In the interim, we would ask that you refrain from sharing the unpublished version that is currently making the rounds.

We are truly proud and excited about the comradery and memories that we will all forge together in anticipation and execution of an awesome Pennsic.

Thank you!

Brennan and Caoilfhoinn, Royal Majesties of the East, Alric & Katherine, Royal Highness’s of the Midrealm

Salutations à la population de la SCA.

Nous, Roi et Reine du Royaume de L’Est, conjointement avec le Prince et la Princesse du Royaume du Milieu, Alric et Katherine, voulons manifester ensemble notre joie dans l’enthousiasme généré par l’horaire de Pennsic. Nous désirions bâtir l’horaire des points de guerre d’une façon complète, polie et éditée dans les prochaines semaines, mais, comme plusieurs d’entre vous le savez, cet horaire est sorti un peu avant le temps prévu.

Veuillez prendre note que Nous allons publier de façon officielle une version révisée et éditée à l’usage de la populace. Les convensions de la guerre suivront après une révision compléte. En attendant, Nous vous demandons de vous retenir de partager la version non publiée qui se promène présentement.

Nous somme profondément fiers et excités de la fraternité et des souvenirs que nous bâtirons dans l’attente et la participation d’un merveilleux Pennsic.

Merci!

Brennan et Caoilfhoinn, Majestés Royales du Royaume de L’Est, Alric et Katherine, Altesses Royales du Royaume du Milieu.

Unto all who would contest for the Tyger Throne do Basilissa Caoilfhionn and Basileus Brennan, Autokratera kai Autokrator Tis Anatolis send greetings,

We are eagerly anticipating the day when the East will find its new Heirs and Tir Mara their new Prince and Princess. We expect a day of prowess and pageantry, testing the mettle of those who would bear the weight of the Crown. To that end, we believe we have a fitting crucible.

The tournament will be fought in a double elimination format. Each round will be fought best 2 of 3 passes. The first round will feature a challenge-in where combatants from the bottom half of the day’s list, as sorted by precedence, will have the opportunity to challenge a combatant from the top half. From the 2nd round on, a traditional tree structure will be used to choose pairings. All double kills will be refought.

All combatants will be invited to use their preferred weapons form until the semi-finals. Those preferred forms need not match. Combatants should be prepared with gauntlets should they reach the semi-finals.

Semi-final pairings will feature one combatant from the winner’s list against one from the loser’s list, and each round shall continue to be the best 2 of 3 passes. The combatant from the winner’s list will need to win 1 round to advance. The combatant from the loser’s list will need to win 2 rounds to advance. The semi-finals will be fought with matched weapons forms. The combatant from the winner’s list will select the form for the first round. Should a second round be necessary, the weapons form for those 3 passes will be selected by the combatant from the loser’s list.

For the finals, all prior losses will be forgiven. The finals will be a best of 5 passes with rotating weapons forms of alternating choice. Matched sets of glaives and longswords will be provided should those forms be selected.

We have accepted letters of intent from the following couples:

Duke Randal of the Dark for the honor of Duchess Katherine Stanhope
Jarl Valgard Stonecleaver for the honor of Lady Gracia Vasquez de Trillo
Sir Jibril al-Dakhil for the honor of Master Philip White
Sir Wilhelm von Ostenbrücke for the honor of Mistress Vienna de la Mer

A message from the Backlog Deputy of the Tyger Clerk of the Signet

Greetings!  I’m Æsa feilinn Jossursdottir (known by most as Feilinn), your Backlog Deputy. I have a plethora of backlog scrolls ready for delivery to their recipients.

Over the next few months, I will be working with the scribal community and event staff to have these backlogs available for the recipient to pick up at upcoming Royal Progress events.

The first opportunity to pick up Backlog Scrolls will be at the Coronation of Brennan III and Caoilfhionn III in Quintavia on April 7th.  Pick up will be available at the A&S display with me (Feilinn).  Just ask for me!

The next opportunity will be geared to Tir Mara residents and will be at Crown Tournament in Ruantallan on May 5th.  Pick up will be available directly with Mistress Eva Woderose.

It is strongly suggested to email the Backlog Deputy to confirm that you will be picking up a scroll.  Local landed Barons/Baronesses and Seneschals are encouraged to pick up scrolls on behalf of members in their local groups if they know the recipient and the recipient cannot make these events.  More pickups will be organized as the year goes on. If you want to arrange pick up outside of these events, please email the Backlog Deputy to discuss.

The following scrolls have been completed and are awaiting pick up:

If both entrants are combatants, then that should be clearly indicated.

A recent change to Kingdom Law requires that the consorts be present at Crown Tournament.
