At this time (Apr 27, 2007), all cabins at the SeaLion War site are booked. I have started a waiting list; if you would like to be on it, please email me. Please note that I can make *no* guarantees that being on the waiting list will result in a cabin. :-)

There seems to different information floating about regarding the cost of staying in a cabin, so for those of you who have booked cabins, the costs are like this:

It does not matter how many people stay in a cabin - 1 person or 8 people, the cost is the *same per person*. The site does not charge us per cabin, they charge us *per person* using a cabin, so that is what we do. The cost includes site fee, but does not include NMS (if applicable).

So:

Cabin site fee: $25 (adults 19+), $15 (youths 13-18), children 12 and under are free

Camping site fee: $15 (adults 19+), $10 (youths 13-18), children 12 and under are free

Please forward to any appropriate list.

Regards,

Lenora di Calizzan, OP SeaLion War Cabin Coordinator

Scenarios for Sealion War

Armoured Combat - WARM-UP Battle

The warm-up battle will be an early-period vs. late-period war scenario. All personas pre-1000 will compete v.s. all later-period personas.

ARTS Point

10 foot rule point. Each Barony will provide 3 heavies, 3 rapier fighters and 3 target archers who can pass the 10-foot period rule. Each competitor starts with 10 points and removes 1 point for every period violation agreed on by the three judges.

The judges may not lift or reveal anything not already visible. Competitors will have to process past the judges and be able to proceed immediately to their chosen venue to compete..

All 9 competitors must be war-point capable in the remaining war points. (In other words the heavies have to pass heavy inspection, rapiers etc)

SCIENCES Point

Coin operated siege equipment. Using their imagination competitors must present an SCA combat-legal siege engine that will be initiated by coins. Bonus marks for creativity and ingenuity. Documentation and authenticity will be considered.

Armoured Combat Open Field (3x) 1 POINT (best of three)

Combat Archery will be allowed in the first and third battles to allow adequate time to glean and inspect missile weapons. Armies will switch sides before the third battle begins.

The Open Field Battle will be a last fighter standing battle. Combat archery is allowed in the first and third battles. Thrown weapons may be used with legal hand protection in all battles. Victory will be determined by the side that has fighters still alive.

Armoured Combat - The Shogun Scenario (1x) 1 POINT

Combat Archery will be allowed. Thrown weapons may be used with legal hand protection in all battles. The Shogun Battle will be a last fighter standing battle. No shields are allowed and weapons restricted to 6’ maximum length.

Armoured Combat - Ravine Battle (1x) 1 POINT

Combat Archery will be allowed. Thrown weapons may be used with legal hand protection in all battles. The Ravine Battle will be fought between two established lines. Archers will only be allowed to shoot straight down the ravine over or past their own troops and may not fire from positions outside of the ravine. The battle is considered over once one side makes it completely out of the other end of the ravine.

Armoured Combat - Bridge Battle (2x) 1 POINTS

There will be no archery in the bridge battles. Armies will switch sides after the first battle. Thrown weapons may be used with legal hand protection in all battles. This is a standard bridge battle fought till last man standing. Knights and Royal Peers may ford the river at any place along the river bank that they choose. If any fighter falls, takes a knee, puts a hand down into the river, or is legged while crossing the river that fighter is considered to have drowned and is dead.

Rapier Combat - WARM-UP Battle

The warm-up battle will be a colour coordinated battle. Left of the colour spectrum vs right of the colour spectrum war scenario.

Rapier (Hopefully Woods) Battle (1x) 1 POINT

This will be a timed, unlimited resurrection battle lasting 40-55 minutes. The woods boundaries, starting points and resurrection points for each side will be announced. All holds will be local and the clock will not stop during holds.

The objective of this battle will be to control three "flagpoles" located at fixed points within the woods. These locations will be known to each side prior to the start of the battle, and flagpoles may not be moved. A flagpole is controlled by the side whose banner is displayed on that pole, and control remains with that side until the pole is captured by an opposing side AND a new banner displayed. Until a new banner is "run up the flagpole" control has not changed. Control of each of these three flagpoles will be checked twice during the course of the battle, at random times unique to each flagpole. These times will be unknown to the combatants. Control will again be checked at the end of the battle, which will be at a randomly selected time ranging from 40 to 55 minutes after the start. The ending time will not be known to the combatants. Control of a flagpole (either during a random check or at the end of the battle) will result in one victory point being awarded to the side holding the pole. The War Point will be awarded to the side accumulating five or more victory points.

Natural obstacles (i.e. brush, fallen timber, etc.) may not be rearranged into a defensive position. The movement of obstacles is only permitted in order to lessen potential safety hazards and should be done under the supervision of a marshal. Fighting may not occur within 100 feet of each of the resurrection points; these resurrection zones will be clearly demarcated. Once a fencer is "killed", he or she must return to his or her own resurrection point in order to resurrect. Resurrections shall be instantaneous, and fencers may return to the battle once they reach resurrection point.

Rapier Open Field (3x) 1 POINT

Armies will switch sides before the third battle begins.

The Open Field Battle will be a last fighter standing battle. Victory will be determined by the side that has fighters still alive.

Rapier Bridge Battle (2x) 1 POINTS

There will be no archery in the bridge battles. Armies will switch sides after the first battle. This is a standard bridge battle fought till last man standing. White Scarves and Royal Peers may ford the river at any place along the river bank that they choose. If a fighter falls, takes a knee, puts a hand down into the river, or is legged while crossing the river that fighter is considered to have drowned and is dead.

Target Archery 3 POINTS

1 point awarded for highest score in Royal Rounds shoot

1 point awarded for winner in Lions Gate Specialty shoot

1 point awarded for winner in Seagirt specialty shoot

Determining Victory

The victory is determined by total war points achieved.

1 for Arts

1 for Science

4 for Armoured Combat

3 for Rapier

3 for Target Archery

Total possible of 12 points

Invitation

Posted by Baron James Llewellyn

This weekend in the Barony of Seagirt is Sealion War!

Your Baronies needs your support, whether it be through combat, archery, rapier, war points (do you have your siege engine built? or your 10 foot rule garb for warriors?) service at gate, heralding, and many of the volunteer tasks needed or simply showing up and partying and having fun.

The friendship between Lions Gate and Seagirt has always been something special. We want to see all Tir Righans bulging with pride, honour and chivalry this weekend. Having fun is our number one priority. (Yes, even higher than winning the war).

Of note: The Seagirtian Victory Party technically scheduled for 7 pm at each Sealion war on Saturday. We celebrate victory, we just don;t say whose. (Open ONLY to Seagirtians and their Mercenaries for the first 90 minutes)

and most importantly the NEW Torchlight Opening Court on Friday evening at 10 pm. The weather gods are cooperating and this activity should be a sight to see.

Look forward to seeing you all there...

Ithra

Greetings,

First there is NO Pre-Registration before the War. The online registration's only up to allow people to see it. The Registration date listed was chosen at random due to the fact that some date had to be listed.

This is an Ithra held at Sealion War. The event comes first and foremost, and classes may be re-scheduled as needed to avoid conflict with the War. This in particular means for Court. There is no Pre-Registration for this Ithra; All Ithra registration will be done on site.

Registration will begin Friday night after HL Chancellor Brenethwyn O’ Connluin is set up and the Ithra banner has been raised. Classes are to begin on Saturday morning at 9:30 OR directly after Court.
