Daffodil Tournament - Originally held in February (Valentines Day), was premier An Tir tournament of the season. Traditionally the winner went on to become An Tir sovereign. Later moved to March to avoid conflict with Estrella War and to improve weather expectations. Advent of Ursulmas in January removed 'premier' status. Held at James Bay Community Center for many years. As numbers grew was moved to Bay Street armouries twice and then to Saanich Fairgrounds. Two Daffodils (2003, 2004) held at Sanscha Hall in Sidney. Returned to Saanich Fairgrounds when Sanscha Hall reduced Non-profit discount dramatically.
