[SSD Populace] Amtgard Saturday/ FOM 6

[Seven Sleeping Dragons Amtgard]

Greetings Amtgarders!

As usual, SSD Amtgard will take place at Santa Rosa Park 1-4pm this
Saturday. *In addition*, it seems that our Evil Prince Lord Squire Deimos
has yet another evil plot to enact upon our Lands for the enduring spread of
goodwill, charity! *Namely*, a can food drive/ fundraiser assimilated as a
means's to participate in an Amtgard tournament. *As a result*, this
Saturday bring cash and canned foods to better your chances of winning the
tourney and the needy a better chance to have a proper meal. *Lastly,* Feast
of Mars 6 is next week on the 23rd- 26th of September; Thus, make ready!



1.) *September 18th Tournament Info:* (Tournament style courtesy of Deimos)


Terms of buy-in/re-buy: 3 cans of food or $1.00 per entry/re-buy

Tournament Style: Bracketed, single elimination (w/ possibility of re-buy in
the same bracket). Single short, dual short, short and board, open weapon
Re-buy rules: May utilize a re-buy to re-enter the bracket they lost in
(Exception: when the result of a fight would determined 1st through 3rd
place in a given category). If you have multiple re-buys available and sweep
a category, save them for the next category. If you sweep all the categories
and have unused re-buys...awesome! (It *is* for charity, after all). People
who lose and re-buy into that round should be placed at the bottom of the
active brackets, and have the next person who re-buys as their opponent. If
the round ends and the re-buy has no opponent, they receive a 'bye' into the
next round. (Making it a re-bye, of sorts. Stop groaning, that was good and
you know it)

Donation Specifics:
"Food banks typically prefer the dollar donation, as they can stretch it
farther than the average shopper. They also like canned fruit/veggies,
canned protein items (tuna, stew, chili, peanut butter, orphans), dried
beans, soup, chili, pasta, rice, cereal, baby food, formula, fruit juice,
and briefcases of money in small denominations in non-sequential number
(unmarked bills preferred)."

           -Deimos

(Canned Food and funds will be put entirely into donations for Food Bank
Coalition of SLO http://slofoodbank.org/)

Re-Reward?: The land who raises the most cans/funds will be bestowed a relic
medium-shield. In SSD's case, it may be something we keep if we win.

the respective tourney. Any late entrants will be subject to approval of the
Autocrat and War-o-Crat.

Arts and Sciences Tournament will have a specified sign-up period, and will
be located at the feast hall, for both sign-up and tournament. If you will
be arriving later than the specified time to sign up for the A&S Tourney,
you must contact Sir Keluric with what you to enter, and when you are hoping
to arrive. All effort to assist you in being able to enter, will be made.
Late entries will be only by the approval of Sir Keluric, and will need to
be in advance.
UPDATE: The A&S Tourney will only allow each person to enter (1) Item total.
This item cannot be modeled (a mannequin or something similar is fine), or
have the creator there to answer questions. There is no ROSE category, and
there will can be no alcoholic items entered. The person who enters the item
must be present for the duration of the A&S tournament, and should, ideally,
not conflict with the fighting tourney.

A lit ditch field will be available on Friday and Saturday nights, (possibly
Thursday night as well). If you like lit ditch, please be sure to thank
Squire Ailliath, as he is loaning the event his personal generator, and
bringing the bases for the lights themselves, which he made.
