(Inspirational Flavor Text) Atlantiafaces imminent invasion. The kingdom's defenses rely on thestrength, skill, and stout hearts of the men and women of the bow. The accuracy and speed of the kingdom's premier archers are theweapons that will slay the terrible tyrants and cruel conspiratorsdriving the attack.

INADDITION, we'reoffering opportunities to compete for a prize arrow and a year'sbragging rights as the kingdom's best in any royal round categoryexcept Novice.

   - Stop the presses! We have an urgent plea from Lady Katarzyna Witkowska, Chief Dragon Wrangler, for the Barony of Bright Hills: Even as we await invasion, our barony has been overrun by small, pesky dragons! We need the energy and ambition of young, budding archers [the children] to participate in a tournament and slay the pests with our trebuchet and crossbows. You can also decorate your own dragon egg, and color.  Please help! 
Translation: There will be a children's tournament to slay small dragons withminiature crossbow and trebuchet and marshmallow amunition. Therewill also be dragon eggs to decorate.
(Resume Flavor Text) Itwill take many hands besides those of our premier archers to save ourkingdom. We also call upon bards to come lend their breath to songsand sagas, and bend the strings of their instruments to inspire ourforces to feats of daring and skill.
