Not trying to be contentious, Your Excellency, but this seem a little 
"wrong" to me.

When the discussion of spreading our championships first came up a 
couple of years ago, the plan was that we'd alternate the armored and 
rapier tournaments between the Fall Event and Candlemas. That's why 
last year the armored championship was held at the fall event and the 
rapier championship was held at Candlemas. By that schedule, the 
rapier championship *should* be happening next month, and the armored 
championship should be at Candlemas.

But according to the announcement posted a couple of days ago, there 
won't be *any* sort of championship tournament at our fall event (the 
one that used to be called "Baronial Champions") and now you're 
saying that there won't be another Bryn Gwlad Rapier Championship 
until next year??
