Solumbria Tournament and Investiture - Crown Toournament

 <--- Back

Quakifications of Entrants:

  • Each entrant must have a consort.
  • You both must be a member of the SMA on the day of the tournament. If you win, you must extend your membership to cover your entire reign.
  • You must have both been members for the prior year.
  • You must both be knights in an SMA order of knighthood (Chain, Maunche or Quill). HOWEVER, the Board will be voting on a proposal to eliminate this requirement at its March meeting.
  • You must both have registered name and armory, or least acknowledged by the college of heralds to be in process.
  • The rules for the tournament in the principality’s promotion petition, which was approved by the Board, also state that:
    • The entrant must have a consort of the opposite sex.
    • Two entrants may serve as each other’s consorts, fighting for each other (“the Alexandra Rule”).

Conditions:

The following conditions were part of the package approved by the Board in the petition for principality status for Solumbria.

  • Combat will be held according to the Rules of the List and Conventions of Combat of the SMA. Specifically, this means rattan weapons.
  • If they are available, the tournament will be presided over by the King and Queen of Alendia. Neither the king nor the queen will be permitted to compete in the tournament.
  • The Marshal-in-Charge will be the Solumbria marshal, or his designate. Other marshals must be either warranted marshals of the Society, or Knights of the Golden Chain.
  • The tournament will be administered by the Solumbria Minster of the Lists, or his designate.
  • Knights of the Order of the Golden Chain are expressly encouraged to enter the tournament. Presently, the Codex requires that entrants into a royal list be knights, but the Solumbria Seneschal is petitioning the Board to exempt this tournament from that requirement.
  • Each combatant must have a consort of the opposite sex who will rule with them if they win. This consort may also be a combatant in the tournament.
  • The tournament will be fought as single fight, double-elimination. Each round will be drawn at random, with no modifications allowed to the draw.
  • If there are two finalists, the final round will be fought as a two-out-of-three match. If there are three finalists, the final round will be fought as single fight, round robin. The win-loss record of the earlier rounds will not be taken into account during the final round.
  • At the joint discretion of the Minister of the List and the Marshal-in-Charge, bye fights may be introduced into the list. These matches will not count against the record of the participant; a combatant who draws a bye does advance to the next round. No bye fight will be introduced later than the quarter-final round.
  • The victor of the tournament and his or her consort will be invested as Prince and Princess on the day of the tournament.
