Banner War/Aquaterra Champions

BANNER WAR ON SATURDAY AND AQUATERRA CHAMPIONS ON SUNDAY

Banner War…The horns call your name! The thrum of your blood in your ears beats in answer; your rivals should be taught to hear its song.
Bring your sons and daughters and show them the power that is their birthright! Show those who follow in your prints what it means to be born of your blood! But when the ardor of the battlefield at last cools in the dusk, remember these are brothers, by better than blood. Sheathe the heralds of death and take back your cup and plate; light roaring fires, bring gifts and tales; clasp again the hands of neighbors in boasts of what has been, and toasts to what shall be!
All households wishing to raise a banner must declare themselves at Opening Court with an honor inspired donation to the war chest.

Competitors…Eager to show your prowess in the eric, the power of your voice, your artistic skills or shooting or throwing? The Barony of Aquaterra is holding Champions contests at Banner War Saturday and Sunday. More info to follow.

This event is held and managed by Barony of Aquaterra, a region/branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. and is considered the official presence of this group here.

Any discrepancies between the electronic version or any information and the printed version that is available from the originating office will be decided in favor of the printed version.

Anyone with a banner can create a team! Bring your banner to Opening Court, ante up, and you are in!
Banners do not have to be complicated, but they do have to be family-friendly.

IMPORTANT: You do NOT have to be “on a team” to participate or win points! Everyone can play!

Each competing team, no matter how small, will provide a mini-banner for the Scoreboard and some loot for the War Chest.
Teams can contribute whatever they feel appropriate. Everything from trinkets and toys to bits of armor, gifts from the merchants, crafting supplies, jewelry, weapons, food, clothes, cooking gear – whatever you can think of, it’s probably been in there.

War Points are awarded for various contests from martial combat to artistry and skill to silly games and contests.

The winner of a War Point Event will be given a physical War Point Token. You can donate your token to your favorite team – or wait for the bribes to roll in. A point token may change hands any number of times until it placed on the scoreboard. Once it’s scored, that’s it. All points must be on the Scoreboard by the end of Closing Court. The team with the most War Points wins the event and ALL THE LOOT!

Check the schedule, watch the score board, cheer on your favorite team, have fun, and win points!
