Martial Activities: A Tournament to determine the Heirs to the Crown. Upon the whim of those Heirs crowned at Spring Crown Tournament there may be a Tourney of Chivalry or other combat following the Crown Tourney. His Majesty has asked those who are interested in Cut and Thrust to join him on the list field immediately following completion of the Crown List for a demonstration and, if interest and participation is deemed sufficient, a tournament of the same.
Arts & Sciences Activities: Tempora Atlantia - For Crown Tourney the time period for the competitions will be Pre to 1000 A.D. There is no longer a pre-judging category as it has not been utilized. An Arts & Science competition sponsored by Her Majesty of heraldic banners to be displayed throughout the day during procession and at day shades. The winner shall be determined by Her Majesty and those she chooses to assist her. An Arts & Sciences competition sponsored by the Event Steward of favors. Documentation is requested but not required. There will be two categories – historical and SCA for those who wish to present a period style favor for judging and those who prefer an SCA-created style.
The Poeta Atlantiae is sponsoring a poetry competition for Crown Tournament. Poems should be written in a documented medieval style. The theme is Chivalry -- either in the SCA or in a medieval context. Documentation is requested but not required to enter. This would be a good opportunity to prepare an entry worthy of display at Kingdom A&S and get comments and suggestions for improvement. A short form documentation form exists on the Poeta Atlantia website, along with a sample of the judging requirements -- http://poeta.atlantia.sca.org/fnc.htm . The Poeta will accept emailed entries from those who are not attending. These must be received no later than October 4, 2012 poeta[AT]atlantia.sca.org. Children ages 12 and under are also encouraged to enter this competition. No documentation will be required from children; however, any form of documentation will earn extra points. Children\'s entries may also be emailed -- if they are not attending.
