West & KHTI (Woodland, CA)
September 4-7 2009
Ducal Prize is an event jointly sponsored by the West Kingdom and KHTI, with the profits to go toward the purchase of a permanent tourney site for the West Kingdom. Since this is a jointly sponsored event; please be prepared to sign an event-specific waiver.
Some of the competitions already on the schedule include Great Weapon list, Sword and Shield list, Resurrection, Two Man Tied, Ducal Team, No Shield/No Great Weapon, and Assigned Style melees. Also witness the return of the Old School Shastan Melee (Bring Gauntlets!) Rapier activities TBA.
This year Food & Beverage competitions are Cookies, and “A drink for what Ails you”.
There will also be relay races for both kids and adults, Beanie Baby Toss, and various water related activities. Drag Races are on the schedule for family style enjoyment.
The theme for the bardic competitions is brought to you by the letter “J”- a song that the recording artist or songwriter’s name starts with the letter J. Other bardic competitions include On-site Word Assignment and Period Performance Piece maximum length 5 minutes, no fooling! Friday night will feature the Special Request Bardic, beginning after dinner.
Saturday and Sunday will be full of competitions like Tug of War - 600 lb teams, auctions and the world famous Ducal Garage Sale. Children's Foam Weapons Tourney will take place on Sunday. Monday will wrap up with Monday Morning Wrestling and tear down.
As always we need stuff -- your stuff, my stuff, everybody's stuff!
Donations to use as competition prizes, to fuel the Monster Auctions From Hell, and to sell at the garage sale. We can't hold a three hour auction for your listening and shopping pleasure if we don't have your items to sell back to you, can we now?
Remember, services as well as items make great auction donations. Dinners and such-like have been some of our most successful offerings! If you have any questions about whether a particular item would make a good donation, please contact the Supreme Commissar! Also contact her if you need to donate items before the event.
