2014 What Tournament?

Barony of Origin Tournament:

As some of you are aware, I am running a tournament at Festival this year (2014),
know as "Barony of Origin".
...
The basic concept is, that it is a melee tournament, very much like
Heraldic Melee except that the teams are comprised/formed from where
people first began to fight in the SCA.

The rationale behind this is that it allows for people to fight outside
their standard household groups and allows people to fight with people
they normally would not get to fight. Additionally there will be no limit on
the amount of Chivalry per team, but its hoped that where there are
sufficient people that unbelts would either be subbed in or a second team
could be created with an appropriate spread.

For instance, a shire of Agaricus team could consist of: Berengar,
Theuderic, myself, Blethan and Aonghus

Smaller groups who do not attend festival on mass, could form a combined
team, ie Ynes Fawr/Aneala

Baronies and Shires may enter teams directly, however cantons and colleges default to their relevant Barony.

Baronies/Shires may enter more than one team.

The following are the team Captains already in place;

St Florian – Count Sir Henri ( Josh Lehmann )
Rowany – Sir Stigh Joghenson ( nominated by Sir Gui )
Ynes Fawr – Sir Wulfgar Dan Russell ( nominated by Oz )
Mordenvale – King Alfar ( Tony Podolsak)
Riverhaven – Sir Ysambart ( Bart Beswick)
Agaricus/Adora – Count Sir Berengar (Brendan Gill )
Politarchopolis – Countess Liadan ( Rachel Horne )
Combined Overseas Origins – THL Lucas ( Dash Db )

If you wish to join one of those teams, please contact the Captain directly. If you originate from a Barony not mentioned and you wish to nominate as Captain, please PM me.

At the moment this tournament is scheduled to occur on Monday afternoon of Festival, after Heraldic Melee

Regards,

Count Niall
