With a hugely important difference: Crown and Queen's always occur,
every reign, per Kingdom Law.[1] And there's no question whether the
Crown "buys into" those events.
In the past 15 years, how often have we had an Eisteddfod? Have we
had "skip a year"s? What about in the previous 10 years (the "golden
age" described by Robin)?
What about Kingdom A&S, King's Lancer, Royal Huntsman, or any of the
other recurring[2] Kingdom championship tournaments? In each case,
who is the driving force that "makes" those events happen?

I believe that the hosting group would be responsible for advertising
the event -- just as the hosting group currently advertises Crown,
for example. *Promoting*, on the other hand...

[2] what's with "reocurring" in Kingdom Law? That's not even a word!
