[Vindheim] Principality Law Changes

[Vindheim Seneschal]

Greetings to the Populace!

During a small court at Winterkingdom changes to Principality Law were
read. The full law changes will be published in an upcoming Black Star and
Whispers of the Wind, as well as to the Vindheim Website.

There were a few major changes and a few minor section, formatting, or
wording changes.

The major changes are the following:

Added - 4.2.7. A list of accepted combatants shall be approved by the
Coronet of Vindheim and then sent to the Crown of Ansteorra to review.
Should any entrants be found unacceptable, the party denying the entrants
(whether that be Crown or Coronet) shall communicate their decision to that
entrant. After approval by the Coronet and the Crown of Ansteorra, the list
of combatants will be made public via all currently maintained social media
platforms and the principality email list at least 1 week prior to the date
of the Tournament. In this communication, the Coronet shall also announce
the format for the coming Tournament.

Added - 8. SMOKING
8.1. Smoking/Vaping is prohibited in all areas, inside and out, in which
members of the populace must be present in order to participate in any
aspect of an event. This shall include any area they must pass through, or
in close proximity to, in order to reach these areas. This is not intended
to restrict smoking in private encampments or areas designated by the event
staff for the express purpose of Smoking/Vaping. Whenever possible, the
Event Steward shall be responsible for defining a designated smoking area,
as convenient as is reasonably possible.

Removed
4.1.2. Coronet Tournament locations shall be selected using the priority
bid system described in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.6.
4.1.5. A branch that has not held a Coronet event in as many times as there
are eligible branches may submit a bid that asserts priority. In the case
of multiple priority bids, the branch that has not held a Coronet event in
the longest time shall receive higher priority. A priority bid that meets
the standards set forth in these Laws shall be strongly considered in
preference to any other bid. The final decision for the winning bid shall
rest with the Principality Financial Committee. Groups below the level of
Barony and Province shall receive priority for bids ahead of Baronies and
Provinces.
4.1.6. For purposes of priority, new groups shall be counted as if they
held the Coronet event immediately prior to their establishment. In the
case that this creates a tie for priority, the event, if acceptable to the
Principality Financial Committee, shall be awarded to the new group.
Previous Section Updated With:
4.1.3. The following points shall be considered with regard to bids:
4.1.3. 1 Any group within the Principality that meets Society, Kingdom, and
Principality Law for hosting a fighting event may place a bid.
4.1.3. 2. Bids, once accepted, can only be changed by a majority vote of
the Principality Financial Committee, except as may be necessary to meet
Society, Kingdom, or Principality law.
4.1.3. 3. The Principality Financial Committee is encouraged to choose
acceptable bids from smaller or newer groups.
4.1.3. 4. The Principality Financial Committee is encouraged to choose
acceptable bids in such a manner as to spread the event location and
hosting group around the principality.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc, PLEASE reach out
directly to Their Serene Highnesses and myself.
