<br>
SHORT VERSION: Crown to be held in Misty Highlands, August 21st ,<br>
2021, letters due to Their Majesties by July 21st, Coronation to be<br>
held hopefully in September, with an October Crown following. If you<br>
plan on entering this tournament, please listen to this video/read<br>
this email in full, as it has specific requirements.<br>
<br>
First and foremost, Letters of Intent to Their Majesties must be<br>
provided no later than 30 days prior to Crown Tourney- so by July 21,<br>
2021. We highly recommend using the online form on the Kingdom<br>
website. The form will be turned on within a few days by our Kingdom<br>
Webminister. You may also use email or regular mail but we recommend<br>
sending that in quickly.<br>
<br>
As we are limited to 150 people who may attend an event,<br>
pre-registration to Crown Tourney for those other than Their<br>
Majesties, required officers, staff, or entrants will open after July<br>
21st date. Pre-registration will be required. Crown tourney will be<br>
live-streamed for those who cannot attend. A more formal event<br>
announcement will be forthcoming. Please understand that if the BOD<br>
does not lift the 150 person rule, if you are not a combatant couple<br>
or staff, you might not be able to attend.<br>
<br>
Coronation: The preferred date for Coronation is September 25, 2021.<br>
Alternate dates may include September 18 or October 1. New Heirs will<br>
have the option of having their Coronation online, at a small local<br>
event (say in a park), or another event scheduled in September.<br>
Should none of these options be viable, Coronation will occur on the<br>
morning of October Crown Tournament. Heirs will need to choose which<br>
option they would prefer on the day of their victory. This is not the<br>
norm as most AEthelmearc heirs have several months to make Coronation<br>
happen. This decision was made due to our desire to get back on track<br>
as a Kingdom.<br>
<br>
October Crown: It is our intent to have another Crown in October, with<br>
letters due to The Heirs 30 days prior to the event. The details for<br>
October Crown are still being determined but the preferred date will<br>
be October 16th or later. The October Heirs would step up in April<br>
2022.<br>
<br>
As you can see, Combatants and Consorts who enter the August 2021<br>
Crown tournament need to consider not only what it means to be Royalty<br>
during a pandemic but also the time commitment for the quick<br>
turnaround for Coronation and the next Crown Tourney.<br>
