The Kingdom of the Emerald Hills

We will be having an old fashioned dollar tourney day on November 7th, 2010. All eligible to play Amtgardians are welcome to compete/participate in the day regardless of home park or home kingdom.

The Culturals/Arts & Sciences side of the day will be judged blind* with “top three**” scoring/eliminations method, entry forms will be available on site. Judges will include (barring the impediment of mundania) Five of Emerald Hills' resident Knights. One dollar will allow one person up to three entries. Entries will be taken from Noon to 2pm . Please bring something to display your entries upon, else they will be displayed upon the bare ground. And yes, bardic type entries are just as welcome as cooking, painting, sewing, photography, jewelry, sculpture, and everything else.

The combat tourney will be arranged by King's Point's Champion. I'm sure they will be along with more details as the date gets closer. The combat portion of the tourney is one dollar per entrant.

There will be prizes on hand for the first place and second place winners, with actual engraved, not small at all, metal medals on neck ribbons. (see below for teaser pics)
Winners will also be announced here on the forums, as well as on the Kingdom's and the Shire's Facebook group pages.
Photos will be taken and posted of the day.
News, reviews, etc... of the tourney to be included in the shire's newsletter "To The Point."

Residents are also welcome to bring “Bake Sale” items, as some have asked and volunteered to do so. Bring money for bake sale type goodies if you'd like to indulge.

And never fear, there will still be a battlegame & ditch, and it will be free, so one does not have to have spare change to play on this day.

Also, this is a park level fundraiser tourney for bragging rights and a prize, it does not disqualify intended quals entries.

*Judges do not accept the entries as they come in, and the entries are numbered instead of including names to aid in impartiality
** The top three of each sub-category go on to compete for category, category top 3's then compete against the other categories to arrive at a final top three winners of the tourney.

Thank-you for the invite Orchid. Unfortunately we won't make it down. We have an Event to go to this Sat and then a lot of things to do at park to get ready for quals. One day we WILL get there tho. It sounds like a really good time and a lot of great things to do.

The medals have arrived and I have updated the image in the original post with a photo of them.

Also, sadly, Dame Nightengael Bahuas has informed me that mundane issues will prevent her participation in the event and judging. She will be missed.

For anyone concerned about their food/beverage entries...

These will be handled first, this will be done in the judge's pavilion.
If you have presentation that you wish to do, please have everything with you. (any dishes, utensils, containers, etc...)

And, of course, due to the presentation needed for some food items, these will be able to be presented by the entrant.

Due to the nature of the entries as stated, performance bardic and some food cannot truly fall under blind judging. This is just the nature of these entries.

(insert titles and awards here)

Much fun was had, medals were awarded to deserving winners, and I almost can't wait to do this again.

And I would like to thank our judges one more time..
Thank you Sir Trinity, Sir Nevron, Sir Delphos, and Sir Thorin. It would not have been as much without your participation. Thank you Dame Nightengael for being ready to help were it not for mundane interferences. Thank you Myth for running the combat portion of the day and for contributing that wonderful entree for the judges pavilion.

As for scores for the culturals I am going to get those typed out and posted later. They should be up today or, at the latest, tomorrow.

But I will go ahead and congratulate our tourney winners before the whole results post.

Culturals Tourney
In first place was Magnus
In second place was Sparks

Combat Tourney
In first place was Gare
In second place was Sir Avatar

Congratulations to the four of you, and thank you to all for participating.
