Greetings all good Gentles. Their Excellencies Torvald and Bianca send
warmest
regards and invite all to attend them at The Field of the Cloth of Gold II 
to
determine who shall stand in vigil as Defenders of the Barony of Gryphon's
Lair.
The Tourney shall be run in much the same format as last year.  Because 
their
Excellencies wish their Defenders to be artful, witty and wise in addition 
to
deadly, each entrant shall be required to submit a letter of intent,
acceptable to
the day of the tourney, shall have an A&S entry with at least a 3x5 card
documentation (more should you desire to showcase your knowledge of your
project) a
performance piece, and of course, the strength of arm to prove yourself
upon the
field of combat.  The favor of the consort shall be a formal presentation
during the
procession of the entrants.

The tourney for the Coat armour shall be a three weapons tourney fought at a
barrier, and shall be 9" spear, single bitted axe and footman's hammer.

RAPIER/DUELIST Tourney Format: The list will be fought in a double
elimination
fashion.  All fighter with no losses will be limited to a single sword of a
length
approved by their Excellencies.
All Fighters with one (1) loss may take the field with a single
sword and a defensive secondary of their choice (subject to the approval
of their Excellencies (and of course with in the kingdom rule set))
All Fighters who have suffered a second loss my take the field
with any weapon set of their choice (Subject to the approvals as set
above). All fighters who suffer a third loss will be removed from this
portion of the competition.

All entries shall be judged and the Combatants with the most overall
points shall
rise victorious to stand as Defender.  The winners shall THEN be
responsible for
autocrating FOTCOG III.
The tourney's shall be run concurrently.

Anyone wishing to enter the tourney must have all listed requirements to
participate.  For clarification on what qualifies as an A&S entry and
performance,
please consult the baronial website for a FAQ page.
..
To assuage the rumbling stomachs of the populace after the hard day of
combat and
play, the barony shall be hosting a BEAST CHARRING!  Meat and bread shall be
provided.  Anyone wishing to have sides shall be
responsible for bringing their own.  Should anyone wish to bring enough to
share,
their generosity shall be more than welcomed, but we are choosing to
forego the
traditional potluck.
The site is the Lomand View park in North Ogden and shall open at 9am.  
Armor
inspection shall be at 1130, with the touney to be immediately following.
Dinner
shall be following the tourney's and closing court at the discretion of 
their
Excellencies.
Site fee is $5.
DIRECTIONS: On I-15 take the 349 exit. Head east 3 miles to Washington
Blvd.  Turn
Left heading North for .4 miles to Alberta Dr.  Turn left again heading
west for .2
miles.  The entrance to Lomand View park will be on the right hand side.
Look for
signs as well, we will post them.--
