[Artemisia] Uprising XX Coronet Sponsored Tournement

[JD Gibson]

Your grace, I thought I mentioned it more than in passing, though I am a bit 
scatterbrained with Uprising so close, and not a personal thing even started 
yet.  The prize for the fighter is a new blade, for the sponsor.. I'll save 
that for the event, however here is a cut from the website about the 
Tournement.

In order to promote Rapier in the eyes of our Royals I am sponsoring a
Coronet Sponsored Tournament - 
1) All entrants must be sponsored by a Coronet (Baron, Baroness, Count, 
Countess, Etc... in the most simplest term, the sponsor must have earned a 
brass hat.).  Each coronet may sponsor 1 fighter.  I however being no fool, 
place no limitations on a currently reigning Queen.  Fighters must find one 
of these royals to sponsor them.
2) Sponsors are requested to present their fighter(s) with a favor.  Attend 
first round, and final round if their fighter makes it that far.
3) Combat will proceed as follows:
    a) No deaths, Single point not to exceed 38"
    b) 1 death, Single point any length & a non offensive secondary
    c) 2 deaths, Any Artemisian legal rapier combination
    d) 3rd death, time for a casket.
    e) Quarter, Semi, and finals, opponents weapon choice  will be chosen by 
the fighters sponsor or they will be Double Daggers, Cloak and Dagger, 
Heater and Dagger.  (Trust me it pays to have your sponsor for the final 
rounds.
4) Victor will be given two prizes, one to keep, one to present to their 
Sponsor
5) Ladies in attendance will vote on best death, and most chivalrous.

Combined, there will be a voice heraldry competition ongoing with both this 
and the Unbelted tourney, so it should provide a lot of fun for everyone.
