[Wyewood] Wyewood Champions - Formats, Expectations, Responsibilities, and Rights

[via Wyewood]

Yes, yes, yes!!! Forget Seafair. It's too crowded. You don't want to do 
yardwork. It's too hot. Have you always wanted to be a champion of 
Wyewood for as long as you can remember? Now's your chance! This 
Saturday, August 5, in Kent, Wyewood's regular archery field, is Wyewood 
Champions!

All competitors will be expected to declare their intentions to compete 
at opening court (10am), and be willing to swear an oath of fealty or 
service if they should be victorious (4pm).  Competitors are not 
required to be current SCA members.  They shall not be champions in 
another branch at the same time without permission of the Baron & 
Baroness (please email coronets at wyewood.org by Friday if this applies).

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:
* Attend Baronial events during tenure as Champion
* Promote within the Branch and abroad activities associated with their 
Championship
* Defend the Branch against all challengers in the field relating to 
their Championship
* Assist in coordinating a tournament to choose their successor
* Attend both the tournament to choose their successor and the 
successor's investiture

Rights include, but not limited to:
* Wear regalia appropriate to their station
* Sit at High Table at Wyewood Feasts if space is available
* Advise the Baronial Coronet in matters of peace and war


Rapier scenarios are London Masters in a round robin format.

Thrown weapons are royal rounds with some novelty scenarios.

A&S needs a single entry, mostly or completely finished, with at least 3 
pages of documentation.

Archery will be novelty shoot combined with other, more standard shoot 
scenarios.

Armored tournament format will be based on the number of competitors.


Bring a dayshade, water, sunscreen. If you don't want to compete, just 
hang out.

Hope to see you there.


Baroness Alessandra and Baron Evrard
