Rolls Manual: V. Points Page 12 of 35

F. No Points

Points will not be awarded if:

• The Crown does not concur with the point

• It was earned at an unofficial event. (This includes fighter practices, ladies’ solars, informal meetings

(minister’s meetings, committees, etc.).

• The member does not sign in at the event, and pay the site fee (if any).

• The person is not a paid member of Adria (includes expired members only after the 30-day grace

period has elapsed).

• The person was removed from the event for just cause.

• A person who was not physically in attendance at the event (unless the Crown has waived this

requirement for ministers or estates-holders who otherwise performed their monthly duties).

G. One Point Per Month

A member may only apply one point per month toward advancement in rank. In any one month, a

member may participate in as many events and activities as they wish. During that month, they may only

apply one point of a given type toward advancement. It is the member’s choice which of their multiple

wins (or multiple participations, etc.) they wish to apply.

1. An example

A member participates in archery tournaments at two different events in the month, winning one,

but not the other. That member may apply the tournament win toward knighthood, but only one

of the participations.

2. Exceptions to the Rule

Demonstration participation and initiation points - See Glossary. Adria is an educational

organization, and participation in demonstrations is encouraged. The Minister of Rolls shall apply

as many points of this type in a month as the member has earned.

Participation in Imperial Tournaments and Imperial Crown/Civil Wars - See Bylaws, Article

V.E. Member Participation. For these events only, a member may earn a second point in a month that

may be applied toward advancement in rank.

H. Members Leaving Adria

A member may leave Adria in three (3) ways:

• Their membership may expire, and not be renewed

• They may quit

• Their membership may be revoked

It does not matter to the Office of Rolls. Their records are archived for a period of three years (longer

than that is subject to space considerations).

If a member quits, a note is placed in their record as to the conditions of their leaving, and those

conditions are complied with. For instance, if they say, in writing, that they quit and want to release their

retirement titles and awards, the Office of Rolls will note that. Should the member return, and request

reinstatement of those released titles and awards, the request will be denied. (The member should think

very hard before making these kinds of statements - there is no going back.)

Membership revocations are very rare. They require action by the Board of Directors, and/or the judicial

system, and will include specific instructions on how the revocation shall be handled. The Office of Rolls

and Lists shall take these instructions into account, and note those conditions in the member’s records.
