If you're talking about 10% of the event profits, then I'm behind this idea 100%. The Kingdom could make good use of the extra funds generated in this manner. <BR>
One potential use of Kingdom funds was made apparent at Pennsic. The fact that there were not appropriate thrones available for the Crowns of Atlantia is unacceptable. I would be in favor of the Kingdom securing a rental unit there to hold regalia to be used at the War, and extra funds generated through an event tax could be used for this purpose.<BR>
