Please be aware that Their Excellencies will be choosing Their Champions

the activities, even if you have no desire to become a Baronial Champion.
Details of the various competitions and activities are as follows:
The Great Stierbach Tent Wash: Several of the Barony's tents will be
cleaned using a power washer before being fully set up. As time and space
permit, you may request that your tent be included in this activitiy. Please
contact me if you want to be on the list.
Lunch: As part of the site fee, we will be grillling the main course of a
lunch. This will primarily consist of chicken, ribs, burgers, and hot
dogs. Please bring your own feast gear and anything you need to fill out a
well rounded meal. A variety of cold drinks will be available throughout the
day.
>From Allen of Wolfhou, the Archery and Thrown Weapons Marshal in charge:
"Archery will consist of a Royal Round range. and a warm up range up all
day. There will be a Yeoman challenge shoot open all day and the championship
will be a hunt, well sort of. I am planning to start open shooting on
both ranges around 10:00 AM with the Archery Championship shoot at around 1:00
PM to about 3:00 from 11:00 till 12:30 I plan to hold the Thrown weapon
championship. The range can remain open if other Thrown marshals are
available. Archery will consist of a Royal Round range. and a warm up range up all
day. There will be a Yeoman challenge shoot open all day and the
championship will be a hunt, well sort of. From 3:30 to 4:30 I will be taking apart
the thrown and archery ranges. At 4:30 there will be an Atal-Atal battle
for those who wish to participate."
Humphrey of Hastings is hosting a Bardic Bear pit. During the
championship competition, two performers will draw a word from a bag and then perform
a piece that somehow relates
to the drawn word.
>From Marcolo del Mare, who is running the A&S competition: "As per usual,
Their Excellencies are choosing the new Baronial Champions. If you are
interested in being considered
for the A&S champion bring your best work to put on display at the A&S
booth. If you are not interested in participating please come by anyway and
check out everyone's lovely
artwork."
Siegfried McClure is running the Youth Armored tourney. A decision on the
format will be based entirely upon the number and ages of the
participants. Due to heat concerns, the tourney will begin as close to 10:00 as
possible.
Ceridwen ferch Rhys ap Michael is running the Youth Rapier tourney. A
decision on the format will be based entirely upon the number and ages of the
participants.
Dante di Pietro is hosting the Rapier competitions.
----------------------------------
Tournament Prime: No, this isn't the name of a badly translated Japanese
robot. It is a tournament open to anyone who has never before won a
tournament by sole right of arms. This means that if you've been on a winning team
or won a tournament where victory was influenced by factors other than
skill (i.e. victory was determined by something other than how many people you
defeated, etc.) , you are still eligible to compete. If you're unsure,
email me and ask if you can compete. The format for this will either be a
double-elim or a round robin, depending on attendance. It will begin promptly at
10 a.m.. The MOL will close the list for this at 9:55.
Champions' Tournament: Pennsic will soon be upon us, and while we've been
practicing melee and building our cardio, we should also remember that there
are other war points to win. This Champions' Tournament will consist of
3-person teams, on which there may be no more than 1 white scarf or
equivalent.* Prior to each match, the marshal will flip a coin. The winning team
gets to choose how the opposing team pairs up with them. Each pairing will
fight 3 bouts, with the survivor of each bout earning 1 point for his or her
team. Double kills earn 0 points for either side. The team with the highest
point value at the end of the match is the victor (maximum 9, minimum 0).
In the event a match ends in a tie, a 3 v. 3 last-man-standing donnybrook
will ensue to determine the victor. This will be run in 2 pools that will
cut to a single-elimination top 4. This tournament will begin promptly at
noon, or immediately following the first tournament, whichever is later. The
MOL will close the list for this tournament at 11:45. Have a watch.
Please have one representative bring all team members' cards to the MOL
table to sign in.
*A team may have two white scarves if they forfeit their 3rd member, and
consequently give every opposing team a 3 point lead.
Erich von Kleinfeld is hosting the Armored competitions.
-----------------------------------
Face the Beast of Stierbach, if you dare.
Round 1:
Each fighter will face off against The Beast.
The Beast has a heart (sword and shield fighter) and two arms (great sword
or polearm fighter) linked together by rope.
There will be five points for each "arm" bested
Fifteen points for piercing the monster's "heart"
Thirty points for besting both arms and the heart
One point for every thirty seconds a fighter survives in the Beast's lair
Twenty point bonus if you best the monster in under thirty seconds
Round 2:
Top two scoring fighters will face each other with weapons chosen by Their
Excellencies with the victor being declared champion of the tournament. We
can adjust if there is a tie, but anticipate a single round to decide the
issue.
In addition we are planning on doing pick ups, to include three on three
melees.
