Rolls Manual: V. Points Page 11 of 35

E. Disciplines

Points may be earned in each of the four knightly disciplines: archery, arts, combat, and ministry. Each

point is recorded in the discipline in which it was earned (for instance, participation in a combat

tournament shall count as a combat EP).

1. Archery

• Tournament – All archers entered on the list (any size list) receive an EP.

• Tournament Win – If the list has at least 4 archers, a TW is awarded according to the rules of

the list.

• War – Target archery offered for wars counts as an archery WP. Combat archery at war counts

as a combat WP.

2. Arts

• Tournament – An arts entry scoring high enough for a participation receives an EP.

• Tournament Win – An arts entry scoring high enough to garner a TW also receives an EP.

• Masterwork – An arts entry that garners a MW also receives a TW, and an EP.

• Masterpiece – An arts entry that garners a MP also receives an MW, a TW, and an EP.

• War – Arts entries at wars receive an arts WP, not an EP (but may receive TW, MW or MP if

awarded) Note: if a tournament is also held at the same time as the war, the arts entry may also receive an

EP. See Section V.B.2.

3. Combat

• Tournament – All combatants entered on the list (any size list) receive an EP.

• Tournament Win – If the list has at least 4 combatants, a TW is awarded according to the

rules of the list.

• War – Combatants who participate in a war scenario receive a WP.

• Archery – Combat archery counts as a combat WP.

4. Ministry

• War - Participation in the administration of a war counts as a WP.

• Official Events - Participation in the administration of all official events (other than war)

counts as an EP.

• Ministry Offices – Members who hold an office may receive an EP whether or not they

attend any events during the month. As with all points awards, this is at the discretion of the

Crown.

5. Special Circumstances

If there are not enough people to fill a list (combat or archery), it is called a short list. There are

several ways in which a short list may be handled:

• The participant may “bump up” to a higher list (if they have been authorized for that list), and

the short list is cancelled. If the participant bumps up, their points are recorded on the higher

list. If the participant does not bump up, they receive an EP on the lower list.

• The list may be cancelled. If this happens, everyone who signed up for the short list receive

EPs.

• If the combat list is only one person short, a participant from a higher list may “bump down”

in order to fight a destructive by (see Marshal’s Manual). If this happens, the person bumping

down is not eligible to win the tournament. (In a destructive by, if the person on the list wins,

they move to the next round, and if the person who is providing the stand-by wins, the person

on the list is eliminated.)

Points earned on a higher list (Knight, or Huntsman) may be used to “fill in” blanks on the

corresponding lower lists (Journeyman, Sergeant, or Bowman).
