Ladies and Gentlemen of the Alliance, the Holy Rose Monastery will be hosting an event in July between the fifth and the eleventh. The Rose Tournament is a competition of jousting and swordsmanship, each guild may have a team of three people to represent them. The winning prize is ten thousand gold out of my own pocket, a one hundred gold fee is in place for sign-ups for the teams that will participate.

Jousting is rather simple, defeat your opponent but stay within the confines of the jousting arena near the Argent Crusader's Tent. The team that wins with two victories at the least moves on to the next spot in the bracket, the teams that reach the top three move on to swordsmanship. That means that the second segment of the competition will be duels, same rule applies as it does with the jousting by being the victor from the best two out of three victories.

Day one is all social and feasting, be merry and have a good time before the start of competition on day two. On the last day we will do a memorial ride from Light's Hope Chapel to Uther's Tomb to pay our respects to the founder of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

The prize money will of course be used to help your guild's coffers since we are on hard times. Guild Masters please post in this thread your guild's name and your three champions, the sign-up fee of one hundred gold is not for each individual champion but for the team as a whole. Remember that no matter if you win or lose, you are all champions.

(( I need to get a capable character into a guild, because I am actually pretty good at that, if i do say so myself :P I love it! Also, if you would like I can mention this event on the cross server event list, so interested guilds could contact you and partake? ))

((Sounds good, this is an RP realm-wide event so all servers in the RP realm can partake in this event. This also is going to help promote my guild if it succeeds, so we'll see how things go :) ))

((Gnome kabobs?))

((If only it was a dueling tournament... /sigh))

((lol then get yourself a team together and write it down for me here in this forum, the sign-up fee i'll accept on the first day of the event :) ))

Please don't be shy, this tournament will be fun and enjoyable for everyone. Remember we're all citizens of the Alliance and we deserve some time to have fun and get together as a people.

((This looks great - if my schedule allows I'd love to do this!))

((Depending on the time of the event, I may or may not be able to show for the july 5th one since I'll be in the middle of my 7 10 hour nights week at work. Unless there is a schedule change, I should be off for the 11th though.))

**Edit** ((Misread I think, it's the 5th Through the 11th right? I'll still miss the first half (unless timing fits) but I will be off he 8th-11th assuming nothing happens at work.)) **Edit**

The tournament is being downsized a bit due to recent events that I will not disclose here. As of now and for as long as the Holy Rose Monastery is standing, there will now be individual champions representing themselves. The victor will still win ten thousand gold, what he or she uses it for is now for them to decide. Same combat rules apply, you will joust in the champion's jousting area, then you will fight in close quarters combat with every skill in your arsenal. As the start of the tournament nears I may or may not add more changes to the tournament to benefit all involved.

Light bless us all

Better blow off the dust on my lance...

The tournament is this Sunday, those who wish to participate please sign up by Saturday. Thank you everyone for this opportunity to provide the community with some old style entertainment and friendly competition.

The Rose Tournament has begun, today we do simple merrymaking with feast tables, drinks, even get some practice in before the jousting portion of the tournament tomorrow. I hope everyone will come to enjoy the festivities, Light bless us all.

Is there a time for this? I'd like to report on it for Scholar.

Signups for the tournament begin now, everyone interested please come to the Argent Tournament grounds to pay your signup fee to participate or just come to enjoy the merrymaking. Thank you

The Tournament is extended until Monday so that the remaining combatants have time to prepare for their match, also due to the lack of combatants and lack of spectators I will split the prize money evenly between the two surviving combatants.

Thank you
