Disclaimer:  I know nothing about how Warlord was initially planned, 
subsequently planned or executed. I do know that this was the first 
year all the groups in the region were asked to contribute a prize 
for the competitions.  

After helping with 6 of 'em, I do know about Tribute.  As the 
seneschal who put the first one on the calendar, I can tell 
you that Tribute started before the "3 group sponsorship required to 
get a regional event it's own date on the kingdom calendar" rule.  
Wiesenfeuer always considered it "our" event to run because we did 
the preliminary work and never claimed joint sponsorship with 
other groups to get it classified as a "true" regional event.  We 
just considered that we gave our third event per year to a good cause 
(something that ultimately led to a great many misunderstandings).  

As far as I know, until last year no regional or kingdom seneschal 
was ever involved in the planning of the Tribute event.  I have no 
idea about Warlord.

So I guess if you waded thru those jumbled thoughts, the point I was 
trying to make is that Warlord has, in the past, been run as a true 
regional event with 3 groups sponsoring it (I'm comfortable that 
someone will correct me if I'm wrong).  

Tribute, on the other hand, was a single group running the event with 
*all* Northern groups sponsoring an activity.  I think one or two 
years we asked for autocrat warrant sheets from the groups, but that 
was primarily to cement a contact person within the other groups and 
get all their correct information.  I suspect it was run the same way 
last year because the only name I ever saw on the announcements was 
that Eldern Hills sponsored the event. (Again, I'm comfortable that 
someone will correct me if I'm off track).  I'm not certain it would 
work as a "true" regional event.  Might be an interesting idea to 
kick around.
