[Ansteorra] Royal Huntsman - Special Tourney Rules***

Mon Feb 13 11:34:51 PST 2012

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to explain a few things in regards to the information posted on
Our Royal Huntsman tournament.

First, this is not the way the tournament is going to be run 'from this
point forward'. Each and every Crown decides each time how their champion
tournament will be run. This is not a 'final' change rather just how the
tournament will be run in this single instance unless another Crown in the
future chooses to use the same format.

As far as adding the combat archery into the mix for our tournament; the
idea was brought to us by the current Huntsman and we thought it was a
great idea not only for the fact that we like the idea of doing something
different and fun for the competition but also because I will be taking the
field as a combat archer this year & we thought it would be a good thing to
have our champion actually able to join me on the field. It's not a
requirement that they actually DO but it is something to think about.

I'm sorry to see that there are hurt feelings over this; it truly was not
our intention to exclude anyone which is why the format was posted so early
as to allow anyone wishing to enter to properly prepare. If you have
further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me privately.
