A group use to have 2 scheduled calendared local events and now shires and
lower are only allowed 1 scheduled local event on the kingdom calendar
because of the over crowding.

I don't see how overcrowded calendars is a bad thing. It means our Kingdom
is active and healthy. Look at Caid's calendar some time. And remember, they
are geographically a fraction of our size. I like the idea of making
tournament and investiture either the same day, or the day after. In the Far
West we choose our Barons by tournament. We do the investiture the same day
as the tournament. It works out well. Also, it's likely we're not going to
have to worry about 10 tournaments anytime soon, since most likely any
Principalities are going to come one at a time. 

Besides, when we have two, it's an excuse for a small "Civil war" event :-)
(Someone else had that idea, thought it was funny) Of course, having some
sort of intra-kingdom competition between the groups themselves for bragging
rights might bring up the caliber of everyone.

One of the biggest complaints I've heard over the years is that the  
calendar is over crowded.  Including crown and coronation to the  
twenty new events and  it's twenty four events devoted ONLY to  
choosing and installing heirs to thrones.  They can't compete with  
each other, because the crown would need to be present for some if  
not all.  (No, they don't have to go, but putting the events opposite  
each other and forcing the crown to choose would not be very smart.   
And yes, the crown has to pick and choose events to attend anyway,  
but trust me it it not the same situation).

Any given year will have usually only forty eight weekends good for  
events.  GW kills two and holidays usually take care of two more.  So  
fully half our weekends would be crown/coronet tourneys and  
coronations.  I would consider this a bad thing.

Right now we have one to three events on the calendar for every  
weekend on the calendar. Yes, I think adding another 20 would be a  
bad thing.
