The Not Ready for Crown

Tournament Tournament!

September 27

Think you’re ready for Crown? Come and take a last chance at testing your mettle (or metal) against your fellow fighters in a tournament that will pit skill against wit for incredible prizes and much acclaim! You must have a consort to fight for – but unlike Crown, there are no limitations on age or sex. There will be a prize for the most “interesting” Consort; the only rules are that they must be wearing garb and be able to sit court alongside the winner, who will preside over High Table and present the other tournament awards in a moot court (Choose your retainers now!). Winner and consort eat feast free! We will be having a Valhalla melee in addition to the double elimination Not Ready for Crown List.

Fencers, come prepared to win the Rapier Xian Qi Tournament! In the spirit of the "Naadam" (an annual Olympic-style festival that traces its roots to the 12th Century

Mongols led by Genghis Khan) we present our version of a Weiqi (strategy game) called Rapier Xian Qi - a modified game of Chinese Chess. Who can play?  EVERYONE! Combatants and non-combatants alike. Rapier Xian Qi, is a game of teamwork, skill, and strategy - where the roll of a dice and a combatant's choice of moves can mean the difference between the sweet scent victory or the agony of defeat – it’s a game where having skill with a blade just isn't enough! You'll step onto the game board a Falcon - will you walk away… the Titan? The prize will be a tabard emblazoned with your device, custom-made by Tiercelin. The rapier marshal is Lady Deianeira Rodriguez y Aragones.

Lest you think the Arts are forgotten, there is an A&S contest for the best heraldic display (banner, surcoat,  subtlety; the ideas are as endless as the hills).

The site is open from 9 am to 9 pm. Except for service animals, pets are not allowed. The site is discretely wet, please police your empties.

A field lunch is included with the site fee. Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon is coming out of retirement to cook a wonderful evening feast, which is limited to 48 gentles, so reserve early! Email her at mtnlion@verizon.net with dietary questions.

Directions:

From the North (it is only 50 miles from Binghamton):

Take 81 south to the PA-92 exit, exit 211 toward Lenox. Turn right on PA-92, then left on PA-106 for 6.7 miles. Then turn left on PA-2008 for 2.5 miles, then left on PA-247. Take a slight right to stay on PA 247 for .04 miles.  Turn left on PA-2023 for 1.6 miles, stay straight to go onto PA 247 for 3 miles. Turn right onto Main st/PA 171/PA 247 for .04 miles, then left on PA-247 for .6 miles. Slight left on Marion St/PA-247 for .02 miles. End at 520 Marion St.

From the South:

Take 81 north to exit 187 toward I-84/380/US6. Take route 6 toward Carbondale (Casey Highway). Take exit 7 to Carbondale (this is the second Carbondale exit ). Go down the hill, turn right on 171 to Forest City and Simpson. Go 6.1 miles, and turn right on 247 just before the Turkey Hill. The road takes a slight left – stay to the left on 247. The fire hall will be on your right. If coming from some parts of Scranton, it may be quicker to go up business route 6 through Carbondale – turn left on Main street (this is still route 6) and turn left onto 171 to Forest City.
