List:

The May Crown tournament will be held in the
traditional An Tir style of double elimination with no weapon
restrictions and standard An Tir shield conventions in
place.

All combatants and consorts are encouraged to
bring banners to the field to enhance the beauty of the lists. Let
the great chivalry of all An Tir shine through!

Pre-registration is now open for entrance into
the Crown Tournament. It will close on Wednesday, May 14th
at 8pm.

Pre-registration
is an easy process – simply email Dame Elena, the Kingdom
Lists Minister, at <lists@antir.sca.org> with the following
information:

The memberships and fighting authorization
will be confirmed, and you will receive an email from Lists
containing your pre-registration number as confirmation. Your lists
shield will be pulled for you – all you’ll need to do
on tourney day is to let Lists know you’re
there.

Please let Dame Elena know if you have any
questions. Thanks for making Lists’ job easier, and hopefully,
making it a better tournament for you – saving everyone some
time and pressure on the day of the tournament.
