=Rules of Engagement=
−
First – there is only room for 16 Warlords, so register early. The only limitation to registering your army is that the Warlord must be an Armoured Combatant.
 
−
Next, as a prospective Warlord understand that you need a well rounded army to be successful, even more this year than last! All the disciplines can earn points and “Boons” that are important when it comes to advantages and challenging your opponents.
 
−
There are two kinds of points – the initial points everyone starts with and use to field their army, and the points earned by the armies that can later be used to their advantage.
 
−
A good way to understand building armies is to think about fielding points, not people. As Warlord you field 10 points in Heavy, 4 in Rapier, etc. So that means you can switch things up from scenario to scenario.
 
  
 
==Armoured==

−
As a Warlord or member of a Warband you will start as a small unit built on 10 points.

==Rapier==
  
−
*Knights cost 2 points
+
==Arts and Sciences==
−
*All others cost 1 point
 
  
−
Fighting will be all day Saturday with the teams gradually fighting through a snowball tournament to form four large groups be the end of day on Saturday. Sunday starts early and will be the day our Warlord is decided.
+
==Service==
−
There will be both Points Rounds and Challenge Rounds.
 
  
−
Points rounds are where Warlord earn points to be used for advantages in battle and for control of Challenges. Challenge rounds are where units merge and the armies grow.
+
All attendee's may participate in collecting points for their Warlord by providing Service at
 +
Tournament of Armies. See the Event Steward, Gate Steward, Lead Waterbearer, and MIC to get
 +
involved. Below are the points you will generate. At the end of your "shift" see the coordinator in that area for a voucher to turn in at lists.
  
−
To give you a taste – here is the first Scenario:
+
Service/Points Per Hour:
−
The first scenario will be a free-for-all Skirmish we call Counting Coup. Every unit will be on the field, scattered out of sight from each other on our massive wooded Warfield. Each fighter will have an armband. This scenario will be worth 10 points to the last unit standing. Each unit will also earn a point for every armband they acquire and bring back to lists.
 
  
−
==Target Archery==
+
*Gate (X 1.5 for night shift): 10
 +
*Watch (X 1.5 for night shift): 10
 +
*Marshal, Water Bearing and other: 5
 +
 
 +
=Spending Points=
 +
 
 +
First, any decision to spend any points earned is up to your Warlord. They may feel that they would
 +
sooner add another Don to the rapier scenarios or another Knight to the heavy scenarios. A warlord
 +
may grant permission to the captain of an archery or rapier company to spend points earned on the
 +
range or rapier field to be spent on the range or rapier field. Getting permission ahead of time is very important as your warlord may be in midst of battle when your need arises and unable to respond in a timely fashion. That permission should be in a form acceptable to the Lists whether it be verbal or in writing (a letter of marque or a warrant of some sort, perhaps).
 +
 
 +
In Target Archery, the main thing you will spend points on is adding additional archers to army. For
 +
example, perhaps your team has three Geese on it. Since, each Goose is worth 2 points on the field and you can only field 4 points, one of your Geese will have to sit out and watch each time. However, if your team picked up 20 points or more, in the counting coup scenario, you could use those 20 points to add your other Goose onto the team and have all three Geese shooting.
 +
 
 +
Second, all points are actually pooled together into one account for each Warlord. Points earned on the archery range could be used on the rapier field and vice versa. If your team only picked up 10 points in the counting coup scenario, you could still buy a Goose using points earned during the A&S competition or the rapier and heavy points rounds provided your Warlord approved it.
 +
 
 +
Warlords, if you are granting written permission to your captains of your Rapier and Archery teams,
 +
you might want to place limitations on how many points each is allowed to access without clearing it
 +
through yourself. You may want to limit it to points earned by the team or set up accounts with lists that has percentage of the overall points going to a captain.
 +
 
 +
Once you have permission to spend the points, you notify Lists that you want to spend. Because of its location, the archery range marshal will act as Archery Lists coordinating with the main lists. The Goose or Regeneration or whatever you bought would now be available.
 +
 
 +
HINT: Since the Goose or Don or other bodies would be added to the team and then is available from
 +
that point forward, you would want to buy them onto the team as early as possible.
 +
 
 +
==Point Store==
 +
 
 +
As well as using the current point standing to determine the pecking order in the Challenge Rounds,
 +
Warlords may spend their points to enhance their Army. Spending points means your place in the
 +
pecking order could change. Only Warlords can spend points, or those they have authorised.
  
−

+
==Archery==
 +
Points won in Archery are awarded immediately to the Armoured Warlord. When Archery Companies
 +
merge the winning company does NOT absorb the points.
  
−
At A Tournament of Armies you can represent your warlord in three (COUNT THEM 3) different Bardic competitions:
+
All Archery Scenarios will be resolved on DAY ONE.
  
−
1. Single Bardic Entry - At the Bardic Circle, combatants in the single Bardic Performance can win coins for their Warlord through wooing the populous and spectators
+
*'''Round 1 – Points Round - Counting Coup'''
  
−
2. Roving Bardic Entry - This is for the Bard (Bards) who does not wish to have a stage. Rove the encampment and win favour and coins for your Warlord.
+
Unfortunately, target archery doesn't allow us to do the counting coup game the same way that the
 +
Rapier and Heavy fighters so we are changing this to a one on one closest to the mark challenge. The
 +
target butts will be set up with coloured roundels as marks. One archer challenges another archer.
 +
Each archer will shoot two arrows at the mark. Closest to mark wins the point and the losing archer
 +
surrenders his armband to the winning archer and retires from shooting during this round. The winning archer may challenge another surviving archer in the next end. Each armband is worth one point for your warlord and the last archer standing will get 10 bonus points.
  
−
3. Group Performance - On Saturday night, compete at the Dew Droppe Inne stage in a Battle of the BARDIC SQUADRON !! That's right minimum of 5 (FIVE) people doing a group performance of no less than 5 minutes and no more than 15 minutes!! Sign up sheet with times will be at the Dew Droppe Inne starting at 7:30 pm with the first performance at 9:00pm. Group performances will win coins from the populous and extra coins for your Warlord through a popular vote at the end of the evening!
+
*'''Round 2 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge)''' – Shh, Mary's Top Secret Contraption
  
−
'''Competition 5'''
+
High scoring companies will issue challenges to lower scoring companies based on the first round
 +
results. The target is a top secret project delegated to Mary Ostler but the main thing you need to know is that this will be a timed end. Winning team absorbs losing team's archers so the 16 companies will now become 8 companies.
  
−
Facilitated by Master Uilliam McAndrew
+
*'''Round 3 – Points Round – Capture the Flag'''
  
−
A Brewer’s Challenge!
+
Three flags will be planted on the range. Beside each flag will be target with 12” roundel on it. Each company will divide itself into snipers and speed archers. One company will shoot per end. Each end will consist of a 60 second timed end. The sniper must shoot down the flag by hitting the stake holding it up. Once all three flags have been shot down, the speed archers can step up to the line and shoot at the roundels. Score is based on the number of arrows hitting in the roundels. Fifty points will be up for grabs and split proportionately based on each team's score.
  
−
Taste your wares. Ensure they are palatable and enjoyable!
+
*'''Round 4 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge)'''
  
−
Details will be made available as soon as we have them. Needless to say this will happen after the sun goes down and should be enlightening and fun!
+
Clout Shoot Variant. Flags will be set up at suitable distances, ideally 100 yards and 120 yards. Each archer will be allowed to shoot 3 arrows. Company with most arrows landing in the ground between the two flags wins the round. Winning team absorbs losing team's archers so 8 companies now become 4 companies.

+
Archers must shoot their arrows through the arrow loop in the castle wall facade. Each archer will be allowed to shoot 3 arrows per end. Total number of arrows successfully through the loop will count towards points. Fifty points will be up for grabs and split proportionately based on each team's score.
  
−
On site during the event you can see the Event stewards, Gate, Lists / waterbearers and the MIC to help earn service points. Anyone attending the event can earn their Warlord Service points.  Event Steward team and their deputies will not earn coins or boons for their Warlords.
+
*'''Round 6 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge) – Advancing Friend/Foe'''
  
−
'''Service/Points per Hour(Wage)'''
+
Advancing Friend/Foe Shoot. Advancing men (black/white) will be set up at 4 distances. Companies will have 20 seconds at each distance. Most arrows in enemy targets wins.

What is an archery war point without a populace shoot? This is the last ditch effort to rally everyone who can hold a bow and get them out there to defend their homelands. The two remaining armies will be given time to rally additional archers from anyone not actively participating in anything else at the time. If they have a bow and some arrows, they can shoot. They just have to rally under one of the two remaining sides.

+
Butts will be setup at random distances out to 60 yards. Archers will start at one side of the shooting line and shoot one arrow per butt marching down the line until they have shoot at all butts. We are not looking for pinpoint accuracy here, we are looking for pincushions. Every arrow that hits one of the target butts scores. The side with the most overall hits wins the archery portion of the tournament. Any remaining points available (250 minus any points already handed out) will go to the winner.

Event Overview

Who will win the right to be called Warlord of Lions Gate ?

The Barony of Lions Gate invites all disciplines - Heavy, Rapier, Archery, Arts and Science, Heraldry Bardic and service, to A TOURNAMENT OF ARMIES, from July 30th through August 2nd.

If you want to be named Warlord of Lions Gate, you must build your own army to enter the tournament. Be mindful that your army must be able to withstand attacks on all fronts: classic battles on the warfield as well as battles of wits and skill.

Who will flock to your banner to support you?

Or who will inspire you to support their quest for the title?

Sharpen your swords and your wits and be ready to display your prowess and declaim your glory before all!

On Saturday, after a fierce and colourful display of prowess by each army in Court by their Arts & Science contingent, all armies shall prepare to engage in a wide variety of combat scenarios on fields of forest, open plain, bog, obstacle, ravine and much more. Battle will rage on until there are only four armies left on the field.

On Sunday, the four remaining armies will continue in battles most glorious until there remain only two armies on the field.

But only one can be victorious.

Before the combat units wage war on the field, the artisan units shall engage in battle in their own arena. Each shall seek to cow all others with a display of bardic, heraldic, scribal, martial or other Arts & Sciences to be judged on craftsmanship, authenticity and elegance. Many of these battles can be prepared for well in advance of the Tournament and details are available here:

http://lionsgate.antir.sca.org/events/toa/index.html

Warlords! We recommend that you pre register your army, both to ensure you have a place on the Tournament field, and to provide fear to your competitors. Show off your Warband for all to see! There are only SIXTEEN slots available for Warlords!

Rules of Engagement

Armoured

Target Archery

Rapier

Arts and Sciences

Service

All attendee's may participate in collecting points for their Warlord by providing Service at Tournament of Armies. See the Event Steward, Gate Steward, Lead Waterbearer, and MIC to get involved. Below are the points you will generate. At the end of your "shift" see the coordinator in that area for a voucher to turn in at lists.

Service/Points Per Hour:

  • Gate (X 1.5 for night shift): 10
  • Watch (X 1.5 for night shift): 10
  • Marshal, Water Bearing and other: 5

Spending Points

First, any decision to spend any points earned is up to your Warlord. They may feel that they would sooner add another Don to the rapier scenarios or another Knight to the heavy scenarios. A warlord may grant permission to the captain of an archery or rapier company to spend points earned on the range or rapier field to be spent on the range or rapier field. Getting permission ahead of time is very important as your warlord may be in midst of battle when your need arises and unable to respond in a timely fashion. That permission should be in a form acceptable to the Lists whether it be verbal or in writing (a letter of marque or a warrant of some sort, perhaps).

In Target Archery, the main thing you will spend points on is adding additional archers to army. For example, perhaps your team has three Geese on it. Since, each Goose is worth 2 points on the field and you can only field 4 points, one of your Geese will have to sit out and watch each time. However, if your team picked up 20 points or more, in the counting coup scenario, you could use those 20 points to add your other Goose onto the team and have all three Geese shooting.

Second, all points are actually pooled together into one account for each Warlord. Points earned on the archery range could be used on the rapier field and vice versa. If your team only picked up 10 points in the counting coup scenario, you could still buy a Goose using points earned during the A&S competition or the rapier and heavy points rounds provided your Warlord approved it.

Warlords, if you are granting written permission to your captains of your Rapier and Archery teams, you might want to place limitations on how many points each is allowed to access without clearing it through yourself. You may want to limit it to points earned by the team or set up accounts with lists that has percentage of the overall points going to a captain.

Once you have permission to spend the points, you notify Lists that you want to spend. Because of its location, the archery range marshal will act as Archery Lists coordinating with the main lists. The Goose or Regeneration or whatever you bought would now be available.

HINT: Since the Goose or Don or other bodies would be added to the team and then is available from that point forward, you would want to buy them onto the team as early as possible.

Point Store

As well as using the current point standing to determine the pecking order in the Challenge Rounds, Warlords may spend their points to enhance their Army. Spending points means your place in the pecking order could change. Only Warlords can spend points, or those they have authorised.

All Archery Scenarios will be resolved on DAY ONE.

  • Round 1 – Points Round - Counting Coup

Unfortunately, target archery doesn't allow us to do the counting coup game the same way that the Rapier and Heavy fighters so we are changing this to a one on one closest to the mark challenge. The target butts will be set up with coloured roundels as marks. One archer challenges another archer. Each archer will shoot two arrows at the mark. Closest to mark wins the point and the losing archer surrenders his armband to the winning archer and retires from shooting during this round. The winning archer may challenge another surviving archer in the next end. Each armband is worth one point for your warlord and the last archer standing will get 10 bonus points.

  • Round 2 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge) – Shh, Mary's Top Secret Contraption

High scoring companies will issue challenges to lower scoring companies based on the first round results. The target is a top secret project delegated to Mary Ostler but the main thing you need to know is that this will be a timed end. Winning team absorbs losing team's archers so the 16 companies will now become 8 companies.

  • Round 3 – Points Round – Capture the Flag

Three flags will be planted on the range. Beside each flag will be target with 12” roundel on it. Each company will divide itself into snipers and speed archers. One company will shoot per end. Each end will consist of a 60 second timed end. The sniper must shoot down the flag by hitting the stake holding it up. Once all three flags have been shot down, the speed archers can step up to the line and shoot at the roundels. Score is based on the number of arrows hitting in the roundels. Fifty points will be up for grabs and split proportionately based on each team's score.

  • Round 4 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge)

Clout Shoot Variant. Flags will be set up at suitable distances, ideally 100 yards and 120 yards. Each archer will be allowed to shoot 3 arrows. Company with most arrows landing in the ground between the two flags wins the round. Winning team absorbs losing team's archers so 8 companies now become 4 companies.

  • Round 5 – Points Round – Arrow Loop Shoot

Archers must shoot their arrows through the arrow loop in the castle wall facade. Each archer will be allowed to shoot 3 arrows per end. Total number of arrows successfully through the loop will count towards points. Fifty points will be up for grabs and split proportionately based on each team's score.

  • Round 6 – Challenge Round (Armies Merge) – Advancing Friend/Foe

Advancing Friend/Foe Shoot. Advancing men (black/white) will be set up at 4 distances. Companies will have 20 seconds at each distance. Most arrows in enemy targets wins. Friendly fire will be a possibility because the targets will be set up close to each other. Winning team absorbs losing team's archers bringing 4 companies down to 2 companies.

  • Round 7 – Points Round – Forest Hunt

Your army's supplies are running low and the soldiers are getting tired of eating dry biscuits. Didn't your Warlord give you a pardon for poaching his deer in return for joining his army? Now is the time to show off your well earned skills. A 3D shoot will be set up in a forested area of the site. Each archer will have one shot at each target. Only shoots to the kill zone count. Fifty points will be up for grabs and split proportionately based on each team's score.

  • Round 8 – Final Challenge Round (Armies Merge) – Last Ditch Rally or There Can Only Be One

What is an archery war point without a populace shoot? This is the last ditch effort to rally everyone who can hold a bow and get them out there to defend their homelands. The two remaining armies will be given time to rally additional archers from anyone not actively participating in anything else at the time. If they have a bow and some arrows, they can shoot. They just have to rally under one of the two remaining sides.

Butts will be setup at random distances out to 60 yards. Archers will start at one side of the shooting line and shoot one arrow per butt marching down the line until they have shoot at all butts. We are not looking for pinpoint accuracy here, we are looking for pincushions. Every arrow that hits one of the target butts scores. The side with the most overall hits wins the archery portion of the tournament. Any remaining points available (250 minus any points already handed out) will go to the winner.
