There has been no Lists or Tournaments at the two Fall Courts we have had so 
far. There has been some Heavy and light fighting for sport, but nothing 
organized. There was an A&S competition the first year, but it had little 
participation. The main things have been the games and the nightly 'cattle' 
raids.

Ask the people carrying the anvil, throwing Knife spear and Ax or wrestling 
as to whether there is a competitive spirit. The games test strength, 
endurance, and skill and can be very competitive.

Fall court is an event for the Barony, so we can relax and enjoy ourselves 
instead of producing Kingdom wide events which is what ALL of our other 
events are. I would say that if people wish to have a light or heavy list 
for prizes or word fame, let them. The object is to kick back, relax and 
have fun - for EVERYONE in our Barony.

If you are not having fun at this or any event, you are doing something 
wrong.

Just my 2 cents worth

The supreme happiness of life is
the conviction of being loved for yourself,
or more correctly, being loved in spite of yourself.
