Estates Meeting – A specific type of meeting, outlined in the Bylaws. A minimum amount of participation at

official events is required of the estates-holders in order to vote at these meetings. Rolls must coordinate

with the Chancery in order to provide this information. Attendance counts as participation in an event

(proxies sent to an event do not).

Event Participation - When a person goes to an official crown tournament, pays the site fee (if any), and signs in,

they may choose to participate in the tournaments, or help administer the event. Their participation is

noted in the appropriate disciplines. For instance, if they fought, they would receive a combat EP

(specifically if they fought Sargeant’s Schlager, they would receive a Sargeant’s Schlager EP). If they helped

to administer the event (marshal, judge the arts, etc.) the Crown may award them a ministry EP.

Event - An officially-sanctioned occurrence in which members may earn participation points. This is a generic

term that includes all types of events (tournaments, wars, demonstrations, classes, estates meetings, etc.). A

tournament or war must include opportunities for advancement in all the knightly disciplines (archery,

arts, combat, ministry). All other types of events are grouped under the term “demonstration”, and the

only points available are participation and initiation points.

Event, Non-Points-Earning – See Glossary: Unofficial Event

Event, Points-Earning – See Glossary: Official Event

Feast – A meal (usually fairly elaborate). This can be presented as part of a tournament or war, or it may be an

event unto itself. It may qualify for DPs and DIs if it meets the criteria for an official event.

Feast Manager – The person in charge of feast-related activities (sometimes improperly referred to as a

feastocrat)

Fighter Practice - Fighter practices are not points-earning events.

Fun War – A type of war in which a Crown is not at stake. See Glossary: War.

Guild – A guild is a “club within a club” where people group together to focus on one type of activity (such as

brewing, or rope-making). Guild meetings are not points-earning events. Guild activity at official events is

credited as normal.

Huntsman’s List - The advanced list for archery competitions.

Journeyman’s List - The beginning list for arts and sciences competitions

Knight’s List - The advanced list for either the combat, or the arts and sciences, competitions

Ladies’ Solar – Ladies’ solars (also known as stitch-and-bitches) are not points-earning events.

List – The list of people who are participating in a given activity (usually referring to competitive activities, such as

the combat list).

List Keeper - The person in charge of “running the list”, usually for combat and archery. This person uses a list

tree to record who faced off with whom, who won and proceeded to the next round, and ultimately, the

tournament winner.

List Tree - A form that is commonly used for single-elimination combats. (It looks much like a genealogy chart.)

Masterpiece - In the arts, there is a level of excellence above a Masterwork. If the artisan receives a Masterpiece,

they receive the MP point, as well as a MW, a TW and an EP. (At this time, the MP itself doesn’t count

toward knighthood.)

Masterwork - In the arts, there is a level of excellence above a Tourney Win. If the artisan receives a Masterwork,

they receive the MW point, as well as a TW and an EP.
