> Crown Tournament has long been one of my favorite events. The effort that everyone puts into the pageantry of the event is splendid. Often, Crown is the best-looking event of the season. But nothing ruins that effect faster than a cell phone ringing, or the sight of people texting from the edge of the listfield.

> Due to modern obligations I am unable to attend Crown, and I am anticipating an update as much as anyone. However, I beg of you to be discreet. Our Kingdom law addresses modern objects for a reason - they distract from the historical atmosphere we are trying to recreate. Place your phone in silent mode. Cover it up in a basket or a pouch. And use it only in the discreet areas of the event such as the parking lot or the back of your own tent.
