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

<DIV>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. <BR><BR>Sent from my iPad</DIV>

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