Mooneschadowe Guardian XV

[David Mann]

     Greetings to All,
     
     The Autocrat for Mooneschadowe's 15th Guardian Tourney requested this 
     be posted on the Ansteorran Mailing List.
     
     
        This year with the consent of our current Guardian, Sir Conrad of 
     Castleton. We are holding a Ransom Tourney as part of the regular 
     Guardian "Swiss" five. In past years, previous Guardians were not 
     allowed to fight again to be a repeat Guardian. In commemoration of 
     our 15th Guardian, we are allowing the past Guardians to compete in 
     the Ransom Tourney. 
        What this means this year is, every fighter will fight at least 5 
     bouts. If the fighter faces a past Guardian, that bout will neither 
     count for or against the fighter in the Guardian part of the tourney, 
     He or she will need to fight a sixth bout to be in consideration for 
     being Guardian. Past Guardians wishing to fight will be made known to 
     all other fighters.
        For the Ransom part of the Tourney, every entrant will be given so 
     many coins based upon Rank. 5 - untitled, 10 - AoA level, 15 - Grant 
     Level, 20 - Peerage, 25 - Nobility. If the entrant loses a bout, 
     he/she give their opponent so many coins as ransom. If the entrant 
     wins the bout he/she is given so many coins based on the opponents 
     rank. 1-untitled, 2-AoA Level, 3-Grant Level, 4-Peerage, 5-Nobility. 
     Entrants can purchase more coins from the Italian Banking House at the 
     list field. There will be 3 1/4-1/3oz. Sterling coins given to 1) the 
     entrant with the most coins, 2) the entrant that has increased his 
     coinage the most, and 3) the winner of the Guardian tourney Section.
        Spectators are encouraged to buy coins from the Banking House to 
     place bets on winners of Individual Bouts. There will be other silver 
     coins given to the new Titled Bard, Winner of the A&S, and the winner 
     of the Chess Tourney.
