ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS!

1. Combined Discipline Torchlight Tournament
On Friday evening, set up your camp and then join us at the erics in Town Center for a Combined
Discipline Torchlight Team Tournament! Enter as a team to fight other teams in a Round Robin Format.
Teams may be formed by one of the following 3 methods.
1) One Knight is a team. They fight by themselves as a team of 1
2) Two person team formed by either squires or Current or Past Baronial or Kingdom Armoured
Champs
3) Three person teams formed by 3 people who aren’t knighted, squired, or are current or past
Baronial or Kingdom Champs.
We will be running a fencing tournament concurrently and alternating rounds. Fencing teams can be
made up in the same way substituting armoured terminology for fencing terms.
There will be a pell in the middle of the eric to be fought around, as an obstacle/teammate

2. Dress the Newbie Competition
Get your team together and find a newbie who’s first event was within the last 6 months. Prior to the event, you can talk about a general idea, but you may not do anything. No measuring, no patterning, nothing concrete at all. As soon as morning court finishes, it’s game on. Using materials that you have brought, measure, pattern, cut and sew a complete outfit for them. Set them up with everything that they’d need to play in the SCA. Feast Gear, a cup, jewelry, whatever. Everything must be a gift. Nothing may be lent for the purposes of winning the competition. In evening court, present your newbie to the Crown and show us how well they’re prepared for their new hobby.

3. Myrgan Wood Baronial Fencing Champion Tourney
Please join us as either an vying competitor or to test the mettle of those would succeed Vicente as the next Champion of Fencing for Myrgan Wood. Championship is only open to residents of Myrgan Wood and holders of the Blood of the Wood, both subject to the whim of the Their Excellencies, but we welcome the Knowne World to join the tourney and celebrate the Art of Fencing and make our new Champion earn their position.

4. Breakable Shields Heavy Tourney
As a fundraiser for the site, we’re running a breakable shields tourney. I’m making a bunch of shields that will break when they get hit. You may buy a shield to enter the tournament. You may buy as many shields as you want. You can re-use shields from round to round if they’re still usable. Strategy will be to find a way to block that doesn’t blow up the shield and to figure out when to sword block vs shield block.
Full guantlets will be available to keep your hands safe but please bring your own if you have some too.

5. Populace Choice A&S Competition
Following morning Court, competitors are invited to set up their entry in the A&S Pavilion for the populace to view and vote on. The competitors should answer 3 questions:
1) What is it?
2) How does it relate to the SCA time period?
3) How did you make it (how does that differ from how it would have been made in period)?
Populace will view the entries and vote on their favorites by putting a marble in the cup in front of their choice. Voting will close 1hr before evening court for tallying.

6. Supper Time
There is actually 2 hours on the schedule designated for Supper Time. I know that this is a little weirdand not normally a thing, as we’re accustomed to stuffing food in our faces as we try to rush to get to Court on time. But instead, let’s use this time to make something actually good to eat and to share the time with others that we wish we could see more at events. We have time here to enjoy each other’s company over a good meal so let’s use it with friends.

7. Saturday Night Games Night
We have a lot of crowd participation games planned for Saturday night in the erics.
We are rolling out a new game where we’re going to tape rubber chickens with squeakers on to 5-6 people’s feet, and then put them in the eric with a blindfolded guy with a pool noodle. Last chicken walker standing wins.
We have a log rolling game where you stand on a rolling log, and have a 6’ long stick. Your opponent is outfitted the same and whoever stays on their log the longest wins. You can’t hit the other guy, but you can hit his stick or roller.
Will have Jomswinger and Hunker Down and other games as well.
We’ll need drums and music to make this really a party so please bring your instruments. Remember, if you can’t be good, then at least be loud. This is the type of Bardic with an audience and polite applause.
This is party bardic where the bard is driving the energy level of the party higher
