[SCA-AE] Limiting Groups to Three Events per Year?

[Aengus]

This very situation came up at the last Gold Chain tourney held in
Sunderoak. If memory serves, it conflicted with Academy in New York that was
a Kingdom event. I wrote to TRM's and requested permission and after a
couple of emails back and forth, I got permission to conflict.

Everything worked out fine. I don't think VIII-201 is a problem as I have
experience that it does work. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
