The important thing to remember is that whatever you say should focus the 
fighters on their honor and chivalry and reasons for being there.

Thus, at a baronial championship, saluting the baron and/or baroness can 
replace the crown, but in the final round, if the Crown are present, I 
would separately salute the Crown and the the baron/ess.  Most especially I 
would do so at Steppes Warlord, which has a tradition and history far older 
than the kingdom, or even the principality, of Ansteorra.

In a rapier list, the first salute is to the Queen, rather than the Crown. 
One of the oldest and deepest actual re-creations in Ansteorra is the 
recreation of the Elizabethan "Cult of Gloriana" by the Ansteorran fencers.
