Duval County Park Benavides, Texas
Tournament!
L
Let it be knowne across the land: the time of trying the souls of the valiant is at hand! Come forth and prove thy gallantry!
Compete in as many contests as ye doth so desire! Or bare witness unto them all, one after another, from a single gallery. Enjoy a complimentary feast throughout the entirety of the day as fine foods and drink are served unto the gallery, and even unto the contestant’s pavilion. Secondary lyst fields shall be provided for casual (non-tournament) combating in the four martial categories. Participants of all combative contests are asked to pre-register for their competitions with a formal letter of intent. All are encouraged to be represented by their own personal herald.
"If thou are in lack of thine own Herald, one shall be appointed to thee. Shouldest thou find thyself without a letter of intent, perhaps a Herald from our lyst shall produce one for thee."
-- Dan the Artisan of Sawcliffe
co-autocrat and Herald
Competing Heralds are to be introduced and judged by the gallery, immediately following the tournament
Everyone! Please bring your banners and tapestries to hang, and cover tents.

Contest Rules
Contestants will give their letters to their Herald to read to the gallery, (mainly to the nobility seated there in).
You can have your Herald write, add to, or re word the letter if you like. Remember this is their competition too.
To those who are interested in competing, I would suggest approaching someone of your choice to herald for you, not myself as I will not be eligible
for the heralding competition.
To those who are interested in heralding at this event, I would suggest finding someone to represent. We would like to see one Herald per Contestant,
and vise verse. Multiple match ups will of course be allowed for "on site" match ups if necessary.
A combating competitor can act as Herald for someone who is competing in different field category.
Contestants and Heralds who are not matched up prior to the event will be matched on site as soon as possible.
To the heralding entries who do not find a Champion to represent prior to the event, I suggest writing up a letter of intent before hand, in case the
contestant you are matched with has no letter. If the Combateer you are matched with has a letter, you can merge your own with it. After all, as a
Herald you want to be competitive as well. How ever, please try to avoid "false claims" such as a "the past champion of an actual competition," if
they are not.
I hope this is not confusing.
