I seem to remember in some Kingdom that the runner-up is the King's Champion for that reign...

Actually, that is entirely dependent on where you are. The
principality of Avacal in the Kingdom of An Tir does in fact have an
award for the couple that places second in the coronet tournaments,
it's called the Silver Griffin http://heraldry.avacal.net/awards.htm
They also have awards to recognize the second-place in the various
champion tourneys as well.

I'm not sure if that is the only place that recognizes the runner-up,
it just happens to be the only one I know of for sure.

Anyway, it's interesting to know the runner-up because it highlights
other contenders to the thrones (and potential future kings). Fighters
know who is good based on experience fighting them, the rest of us
need to be told :)
