Tournament of Games:

 

Game enthusiasts across the Known Kingdom are called to test their mettle and mastery at the gaming tables of Carnevale! To be held in the hours between Opening and Closing Court. Games of chance, of strategy, and of intrigue await!

 

Prizes will be had by all who play! Grand Prizes will be had by winners of 3, 5, or 7 games. Many prizes may include historical games, decks of cards, dice and much much more!!

 

Children of all ages are welcome to play. Following SCA policy set forth by the BOD, children under 18 years of age must be attended by their parent or legal guardian at all times. Our Game Masters will be on hand to assist in game matters only. Children without a legal guardian or parent present at all times during game play will not be able to participate.

 

If you are interested in being a Game Master and volunteering to assist please contact the Event Steward or the Master of Games, HL Renna Ravenswald for more info and keep an eye out for future announcements for all the fun at Carnevale 2020!

Rapier Championship

It will be a Luck of the Draw Accolades Tournament. Fighters should bring all of the secondaries that they’re authorized to fight with. From an event planning perspective, we’ll need audience participation, so we’ll want to encourage the populace to be present and we’ll need to make sure their’s room for them on the sidelines.

The mask competition will consist of a masquerade parade during lunch. Contenders can either present themselves, have someone wear or carry their mask for presentation. Afterwards, the masks will be put on display for voting. The three categories will be “most historically accurate”, “most creative”, and “coronet’s choice”. Voting will be done by placing a corresponding colored bead for each populace vote in a basket with the mask. Awards will be given in closing court.

Join the Scribes of Dragon’s Mist while we compete to find the best Illuminators in the land. Notecard sized designs and basic supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own paint kit. There will be different art to paint for three categories: Youth, Novice and Advanced (older children are welcome to choose one of the other two categories if they want). Prizes for the winner of each category!

Gothic Cathedrals

 

Near the start of the 12th century, the Catholic Church underwent a revolution in architecture that spread across Europe and has created some of the most recognizable cathedrals today. We will be taking a look at why these changes came into being, along with the strengths and weaknesses of the Gothic style. I will talk about how these magnificent Cathedrals were built, their use, and their meaning to the people of the 12th to 16th centuries.
