War points will be given in arts and sciences, siege cooking, children's activities, archery, rapier, and of course the war itself. Sunday morning will feature a three-fighter team tourney sponsored by Northern Thunder, and if weather and interest permit, the always off-center Wacky Tacky Water War. Glymm Mere will also hold it's baronial archery championship on Saturday.

ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
BARONY OF GLYMM MERE (Saturday)

1. ELIGIBILITY: This tournament is open to any adult member who is willing and able to swear undivided fealty or service to the Coronets of Glymm Mere. Lists will close at a specified time to be determined prior to the championship event, as will the completion time.

2. EQUIPMENT: This tournament will require the competitor to use two different bows during the target portion and also have available SCA legal light armor and equipment for the Glymm Mere challenge. It is suggested that the Barony provide access to the loaner heavy armor during the tournament and all light fighters bring their equipment for loan during the tournament.

3. SCORING: The scoring for this tournament will depend on the number of competitors, with each portion accounting for one third of the final score. (EXAMPLE: with 5 competitors, the winner of each portion would receive 5 points, 2nd place 4 points, etc.) Once the competition is completed, the scores will be added and high score wins. In case of a tie, the competitor who defeated the other in the GM challenge will be declared the winner.

4. TOURNAMENT RULES: The tournament will consist of two An Tir Royal Rounds and a combat tourney called the Glymm Mere Challenge. The Royal Rounds may be shot throughout the day while a specific period of time will be set aside for the GM Challenge.

A. The Royal Rounds require the use of two different bows in two different divisions (i.e. longbow1 and crossbow; open and longbow2; etc.) Competitors will be shooting alongside non-competitors and may shoot as many RRs as they wish. Tournament scores will be kept on a separate scoresheet. Period scoring will not be allowed and the competitor will declare their championship RR prior to beginning that round.

B. The Glymm Mere Challenge is a round robin one-on-one tourney modified from the Kingdom Protector tournament. Each competitor must conform to An Tir light combat armor and weapon standards, and will be limited to 12 missiles. Competitors will be inspected prior to the beginning of the tournament and a designated marshall will inspect every arrow fired prior to it being returned to the competitors quiver. Points for legs and arms remain the same as in the Kingdom Protector tournament. If the quiver is struck, one arrow is lost, if the bow is struck, it becomes unuseable; there are no points for striking either the bow or quiver. Any arrow that touches the ground is dead and may not be gleaned. There will be two 40” 2X12 boards placed 30 yards apart. The competitors may angle the board to their liking. Competitors must keep both feet on the board. If either foot strikes the ground, they are “dead”. The only exception is when legged, they must place both knees on the board.
