GLOSSARY

AO - Attendance Only

Arts Score Sheets - Every time an arts entry is judged, the comments and scores are recorded. At the end of the

judging process, these score sheets (also known as comment cards) are provided to the artisan. These may

be used as proof of participation in an arts tournament. See Forms: Arts Comment Cards.

Attendance Only - When a member goes to an event, pays the site fee (if any), and signs in, they have attended

the event. If they do nothing else, they receive no participation points, but their attendance must be noted.

(Proxy votes sent to an estates meeting do not count as having attended the meeting.)

Attendee – Anyone who attends an event, whether or not they are a paid member of Adria.

Audit - The process of going over the points records for a member. See Audits.

Autocrat – The person in charge of running an event is referred to as an autocrat (and is usually eligible for a DI).

For large events, there may be more than one autocrat.

Bowman’s List - The starting list for archery competitions.

Civil War – A type of war in which a Crown is at stake. See Glossary: War.

Class – See Glossary:Collegium

Collegium – A class (different from a demonstration because of the focus and the teacher/student presentation).

See Points: Class.

Comment Cards – See Glossary:Arts Score Sheets

Conversion – Adria recognizes participation in certain other organizations, and may convert that participation to

points which may be counted toward knighthood in Adria. See Points Conversion: From Other Organizations.

Adria also allows for the possible substitution of Imperial service for DIs. See Points Conversion: For Ministry

Service.

Crown – The ruler of an Empire, Kingdom, Archduchy or Duchy. Their monthly points, and requests for DIs are

approved by the Imperial Crown. For ease of reference, the word “Crown” implies all Crowns, as well as

Imperial Viceroys (even though the latter does not have the same rights or privileges as a Crown).

Crown War – A type of war in which a Crown is at stake. See Glossary: War.

Demo Initiation - If a member sets up and runs any type of official event, they may be eligible to receive a

demonstration initiation point.

Demo Participation - If a member goes to any type of official event (other than a tournament or war), and they

participate in that event, they receive a demonstration participation point. DPs may be earned by

demonstrating or discussing the techniques, materials, and equipment of a subject. The DPs are applied

within the discipline that the topic pertained to.

Demo – See Glossary:Demonstration

Demonstration – a) for points-recording purposes, any type of official event other than a tournament or war

b) an event in which medieval or renaissance lifestyles are demonstrated, usually for a large number of

people (for example, at faires, libraries or schools). This is different from a collegium because of its broad

scope, inclusion of various topics, and usually larger audience.

DI - Demo Initiation

DP - Demo Participation
