ES - Consorts Tourney

Greetings, Elfsea,

For those who are not inclined to enter the list, the Tavern Yard will be 
open as soon as the Marshal can attend that field.  Llywelyn is looking 
forward to watching the fighting both on the Tournament field and the 
Tavern Yard.

Perhaps largesse can be given to those fighters at the Tavern Yard who, by 
making and winning challenge matches, bring great reward to those who would 
watch and wager on them?

I have heard that Mistress Sara Foxxe, that tart that just looks like me 
(or so people say), will be watching and making wagers at the Tavern Yard 
as well.  She just loves to watch hot, sweaty, fighters....

When the Tournament of the Lions (later to become known as Lyonesse) first 
started, it was way too different for people to understand.  But in trying 
something different than the usual double elimination or Swiss five 
tourney, Bjornsborg managed to create an event unlike any other, but loved 
by many.  The fighters did not win - they were chosen to be part of the 
Pride of Lions.  It was based on chivalry, and bravery, and good 
showmanship, not how well someone snapped a sword into an opponents head, 
or blocked a shot.

We must have the freedom to try new things, as well as the freedom to fail 
on occasion.   That is the magic of SpringFaire, that every year, we can 
try new things.  If it doesn't work, that's OK.  We will try something 
different next year.  It is also nice that anyone can volunteer to sponsor 
a list, or autocrat an event.  If you want something bad enough, you need 
to be willing to work at it.

For those who don't like the way this event has been planned, please make 
notes, and volunteer to help with the event next year.  Or sponsor a 
mini-tourney at a fighter practice, or within the Elfsea encampment at 
Ansteorra Twentieth Year Celebration, or at Gulf War.

 But please come to SpringFaire and help us celebrate Spring, mine and 
Crandall's birthday, and the fact that Life is Good in Elfsea.
