[MR] "Answered Privately"

Greetings Atlantia,

    With all this mention of Crown and the requirements, we thought to
include our specific requirements for this upcoming Crown.  This is from Our
letter that will be in the October newsletter.

          Our Crown Tourney will be held in Florence, SC on November 5th.
We encourage any entrants to send your letters to Us and to Dame Anne
seneschal at atlantia.sca.org as soon as possible.  If you have not entered a
Crown Tourney in the last 3-4 years or ever, We will need you to send a line
drawing of your arms to Us so a shield can be painted for you.  The tourney
will be standard double-elimination with the finals being the best 2 out of
3, matched weapons.  You must have registered Arms to compete in Our Crown
tourney, or have made a reasonable attempt. (i.e. your arms are in the
process of being registered as of 9/10/05).  One final change, single handed
weapon face thrusts will not be allowed.

Thank you

Janos & Rachel
Rex et Regina Atlantia

> I would be happy to answer here as there is interest.  The requirements
come

but

artistic
