themselves to the gallery and presiding nobles. Competitors may also herald
themselves, if they so choose, or "hire" a herald on the day of the event.

class=396303413-17082006>Now, specifically regarding our quest for Elfsea
Archery Defender:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=396303413-17082006>We encourage ALL Archers and Crossbow competitors
to join the list. Elfsea deserves the BEST of the BEST. Please come and compete
for the right to serve as Elfsea's Archery Defender, or help test the worthiness
of those who will. We do ask that Crossbows be fired from a standing
(unsupported) position to keep the challenge as equitable as possible. The bear
pit format will pair shooters for head-to-head matches. The victor of each
head-to-head match will retain the field and meet the next challenger in line.
After 3 consecutive wins, a shooter will rejoin the line of challengers and two
new shooters will step up. The list will run for a set period of time, to be
determined by the number of competitors, and therefore stamina is also a factor
in determining our Archery Defender. Please let me know if you have any
additional questions, and I hope to see you in the list!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Letter of intent to compete? hermmmm. Xbows allowed in elfsea defender?
Last i heard that Elfsea stopped Xbows from competing, i heard they allowed
them the year after the stoppage - but never did confirm that. <------ NOT
trying to re-stir anything, more curious as i most likely will submit a
request to merchant rather then shoot, but may have a few that want to come
out and play medieval style and i get the itch to shoot from time to time or
as i call it "getting froggy" :)</DIV>
