This A&S thing from Mid tickled my "What????!" bone.  So I looked it up.  
Basically, as long as the Kingdom A&S rules are not part of Kingdom Law, they 
fall under the dubious category of "tradition" and can get away with whatever 
they want to foist off on the populace.  However disturbing this may be, 
unless pressure from said populace forces a change to "tradition", it'll 
stand.  I dunno how it is in the rest of the Known World, but in Trimaris the 
Kingdom A&S rules aren't part of Kingdom Law at all.  Corpora simply states 
that Kingdom Laws can't be put into place which are counter to Corpora.  It 
says nothing about the "traditions" of the Kingdoms.  It seems to be one of 
those many gray areas Corpora contains in the name of Kingdom autonomy.  
Personally, I think disqualification of someone's efforts due to being too 
"early" is heinous and rebellion should follow without hesitation. But then, 
I'm a Celt.  };-)
