With Help from the site coordinator.

For the ballroom. First 2 rows on both sides of the main center isle, we are going to to remove every other chair and designate them ADA. Every 3rd row down the center of the isle we are going to remove 2 chairs for those with mobility aides who use them for seating.

We would appreciate it if everyone would not stand on the sides of the room where the doors are, this creates a blocking hazard and makes it hard for those with mobility issues to get safely into the room. We will be monitoring this and asking people to please take a seat or stand in the back of the room where there will be space.

Tournament Information

Greetings An Tir! Please see the following for the Peer Auction for 12th Night 2026 from the peer auction team.
Started in 2001 by the Knights of An Tir, the Kingdom of An Tir, through this silent auction alone, has raised over $51,000 to donate to various Charities. (For More info – see our Wiki! (<https://antir.sca.wiki/index.php?title=12th_Night_Peers_Auction>)
This year, Their Most Royal Majesties Achaxe and Octamasades have determined that we should aid the mighty mission to fight for human rights across our Nation. The American Civil Liberties Union is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID #13-6213516) that “dares to create a more perfect union — beyond one person, party, or side. Our mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees.” (<https://www.aclu.org/>)
We hope that you will consider a donation of your time and skills for a worthy cause and help us uphold this commendable tradition of giving from our great Kingdom. All donations must be sponsored by a Peer. Royal Peers, Knights, Masters of Arms, Laurels, Pelicans, Marks and Members of the Order of Defense are all encouraged to sponsor a populace member’s donation or to donate themselves. Please use the following format when submitting your donations.

Please contact the 12th Night Peers Silent Auction team at 12thnightauctionantir@gmail.com with your submissions, or any questions you may have!
Forms with your information will be printed up and provided on the day of the auction. Items will need to be dropped off with the auction team in the Auction Space on Friday evening between 6pm and 9pm or prior to auction opening on Saturday Morning. Volunteers will be in the Auction Space at least one hour prior to opening for people to drop off their items. Auction Space TBD at current. No bidding will be accepted outside of the actual silent auction hours at the event. Bids can be made by proxy, but must be recorded on the items bid sheet prior to the Auction closing. Payment must be made at the end of the auction, and all items collected prior to noon on Sunday. At the request of the auction staff: Items should be pre-registered for the auction by **Wednesday January 7th, 2026,** so the staff will have time to pre-print item descriptions. Supplied photos of completed or similar objects will be printed on the forms to aid in displaying items as well as being posted in advance so people can plan their auction budgets! Any unsold items will be donated to the Kingdom largess.
