The above is in my view an insult or jibe and is very inappropriate.  I would ask that this forum not be used in this manner.

The system in current 
use is indeed a good one.
It is why so many use it.
Popularity has never been a reason for 
trying something new.
Each Baron and Baroness will do as they 
will.
I was just sharing an idea put forth to 
me by Don Robert.

Heilsa all...

A Barony holds annual events... A Baronial 
  Championship *is* a big deal... If I'm not mistaken every Barony in this 
  Kingdom holds some type of yearly Champions event...

Shires don't hold 
  annual Championship events...nor do Cantons, Strongholds, or Colleges... Get 
  the drift here...?

If the Barony wishes to make Raven's Fort's Defender 
  a "really big deal" then put on a **really big deal** event... 
  Simple...yes...?

The event where a new Baron and/or Baroness are 
  elevated is called an Investiture...it is usually held at the Baronial 
  Championship event...and that makes it extra-special...it doesn't happen 
  often...nor should it happen often.

If one wishes to know the current 
  number of the Defender event...well, then...figure out what year number 20 or 
  25 was...then count forward... Simple...no...?

Our current Baron and 
  Baroness are right Good and Noble people...well Respected by the Royal 
  Family...and Honored by the Crown...after all They do continue to let Their 
  Excellencies Brian and Fionna hold Their lands in fief...

Enough said 
  for now... I'm out in the world again working my buttocks off...go figure... I 
  miss you guys something terrible...hope to be home again soon...

  Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!

  despise them for doing so..."

  Defender every three years would be good.

  Better still, would be to hold a Championship when a new B&B is 
  invested.
  Then keep the Champion as long as they serve the Barony 
  or until a new B&B steps up.
  The frequency would be totally up to the B&B's discretion.
  It would make the actual event a really, really big deal.
  It would also be a break from doing the same old dance year after 
  year.
  Just an idea that I've heard kicked around.

    Defender I.  My first attempt was rained out and we just had 
    morning court. My second attempt was hurricaned out. My third attempt was 
    great. So defender every 3 years.

      I can't remember which one was III, but I was at it, so that would be 
      either 1988 or 1989, the year of the first Investiture.

      It couldn't have been 1990, because I know there was a Defender in 
      1987 (1990 was IV or V). I didn't go to the one in 1987, but I had been to 
      Kingdom Bardic College in Conroe that summer (Hector and Rowan were still 
      King and Queen).

      So the question is: Was there a Defender in 1986? If there was, then 
      1988 was Defender III; if not, 1989 was Defender III.

      Another clue: Seamus and Karlanna were King and Queen in 1987, while 
      Inman and Drusilla were King and Queen in 1986. Who was on the throne at 
      the first Defender?

      So...

      if Defender I was in 1986 (with Inman and Drusilla on the thrones), 
      Defender III was in 1988, Defender XXIII would have been in 2008, and this 
      year would be Defender XXV. If Defender I was in 1987 (with Seamus and 
      Karlanna on the thrones), Defender III would have been in 1989, Defender 
      XXIII would have been in 2009, and this year would be Defender XXIV.

        Which Defender will this be?
        I think last year was 21 1/2 since number 21
        was hurricaned out.
