Sound the Horn!!! Champs approaches...

Calling all Champions! Time is quickly approaching when Her Excellency and I must select new champions. We are sounding the call to the lands seeking new blood to step up and serve the Barony! It is our goal to keep things interesting, so this year instead of a dedicated Baronial Champs event we are holding our champion tournaments at our local practices. The purpose for this is two fold. First we hope to relieve everyone's already busy event schedule, but more importantly we want to draw attention to our local practices and the hard work that goes into them.


What does it take to be a Baronial champ? Glad you asked! The only requirements include: You must be a resident of the Barony or the Canton, you must have the required authorizations for the activity you wish to participate in (such as a heavy authorization), and you must be able to attend the Seven Pearls event in September (located in Endless Hills). Other than that it is open to all.

Don't shy away from competing because you are new, or you don't feel you have enough experience. The honor of being a champ is about representing the Barony not about bringing home the win. This is a great chance to experience a new side of SCA life and Her Excellency and I will be equally proud of anyone who steps up.

More details will follow on when the tournaments will be, the format for each, and who is running them. Over the next month or so we will reach out to our current champions to discuss the details. Her Excellency and I will also decided on when we will hold the tournaments for the "non-practice" activities as well as when we will hand out awards such as Chivalry champ.

Please stay tuned for more information.
