Tournament |
There shall be held a King’s Companie of Archers Tournament designed to promote archery within the kingdom and to determine the
best archers in each of three skill levels; the unranked archers, the archers counted among the Fyrd, and the archers having
achieved the rank of Huscarl.
There shall be within each of the three skill levels, three separate divisions; bow (recurve bow), longbows, and crossbows.
Individual challenges shall take place within each of the nine divisions. Due to time constraints, each archer may only enter a
single division for the tournament. The skill level of each archer is determined by their archer ranking within the kingdom. The
choice of division that each archer shall shoot in is left up to each individual archer.
The individual challenges shall consist of archers shooting several ends of ten arrows at each competition. Competitions shall
consist of varying shapes and distances. The archer in each division that accumulates the most points shall be declared the
victor of that division. The selection of an overall champion may be determined at the end of the day and will most likely be
chosen by Their Majesties.

A Baronial Challenge shall be run concurrently with the individual challenges during the tournament. Each Barony shall select
five archers from their Barony to represent them during the tournament. Each of these five Baronial Archers shall wear an emblem
designating them as a member of their respective Baronial team. The individual points accumulated by each of the five baronial
Archers shall be combined to determine the overall score for each Barony. The Barony scoring the most points shall be declared
the victor in the Baronial Challenge.
