Tournament of the Dragon's Tear XXI 2005 **** Updated****

 

We, the Shire of Stan Wyrm do request your presence at Dragon's Tear XXI.

We have a Plethora of activities planned including rapier tourneys, archery, games, and our annual Tournament of the Dragons Tear. Our shire champion has devised some interesting tournament scenarios to test your mettle on the field and off, consisting of a heavy round robin tourney followed by a stone
throw and speed chess. The Dragon's Tear tournament will be a Booty Prize. Each person wishing to enter will need to bring a small item to place in the booty pile. The winner will receive the booty and may redistribute the booty as he or she sees fit. As tradition holds true, this tournament will decide who will be our Heavy Shire Champion. The shire member that finishes the best will be appointed Shire of Stan Wyrm Heavy Champion. The tournaments will be fought in the brand new Rotary Club Centennial Pavilion, which means that there will be shade for the Tournaments.

 

The 21st   Tournament of the Dragon's Tear will be held at our traditional Camp Rotary just outside of Great Falls, MT. This site has showers, privies and a meeting hall. Cabins are available but these will fill up fast so let us know as soon as possible if you will want cabin space. Cabin reservations will only be held for pre-paid registrations. There is also plenty of space for pavilions and tents as well. This site is wet for those over 21.
