Crown Tournament Letters of Intent
Although We have ascended the thrones what seems like mere moments ago, one of Our first duties as Crown is to secure Calontir’s line. To that end, Our Crown Tournament will be held on December 2nd in the Barony of Coeur D’Ennui. Should you wish to participate, please submit a letter of intent to Us and Our Senseschale no later than Sunday, November 19. Your letter must contain the following for both Combatant and Consort:
· Name and contact information
· Copy of your identification to verify age and residency
· Copy of your valid SCA membership card
· A statement of the reasons you wish to be Crown and goals should you ascend
· A listing of SCA events you have attended in the last 12 months
Please also review Kingdom Law and Corpora to ensure you meet the requirements for participation. If you have any questions regarding your qualification, please reach out to Our Seneschale promptly.
Crown Tournament will be fought in bouts of two-out-of-three unless the list becomes so large that this would make the tournament excessively long. The Crown will make the final decision regarding bouts the day of the tournament. No weapons restrictions will be imposed.
We thank all of you for your kindness and support of Our beautiful Heartland. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Seeking Next Society Seneschal
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is seeking candidates for the position of Society Seneschal/Vice President for Operations.
The Society Seneschal is considered both a Society and Corporate officer, and is responsible for coordinating the administration of the Society’s historical re-creation. This involves directing the activities of the Kingdom Seneschals and of Society-level deputies. Where questions arise concerning the intent of Corpora, the Board specifically authorizes the Society Seneschal to make interpretations and clarifications. The Society Seneschal is also responsible for reviewing all sanction related activities.
This is a part-time stipend position requiring a minimum of 25 hours per week, often more.
