- In regards to this comment, I would like to read a section from Corpora:
- VI.A.1.b. Selection of Royalty
- 3) No one may take part in a Royal Lists, either as
- a competitor or as a prospective consort, who has any
- reason to believe that either member of that competing
- couple will be unable to fulfill the duties of royalty.
-
-
- Now, this says "unable to fulfill" rather than "unwilling to fulfill".
- However, it is obvious that our governing documents consider participation
- in a Crown or Coronet Tourney to be rather more serious than a normal
- tourney. Careful consideration should be made before deciding to enter
- a Crown Tourney. East Kingdom law is more explicit:
- Part II.C. Eligibility for the Crown Tourney
- 6. No person shall enter the Crown Lists without
- intending an honorable attempt to compete for the Crown.
-
- These were the things that came to my mind as I read the current
- discussion, and I thought to mention them here. It is obvious
- that other parts of the Known World think differently than the East
- Kingdom (given the discussion on this topic I have seen from those
- in the West Kingdom in the past). Still, Crown Tourney is a different
- kind of event from the normal tourney, and I think that all fighters
- should take it seriously.
