East Kingdom, Crown List is out!

[liamstliam]

It's here and has consorts

This is not in specific Order of Precedence yet.

The dukes, counts, etc., are all group together, but they are not ordered.

I will undoebtedly have some thoughts later.

There were 80 entrants in the An Tirian Crown I went to. No clue how late they were fighting, but I recall similar lists in Crowns when I actually lived there and they were always done fighting by dark.

I am relatively certain An Tirian Heralds do not have magical super powers, so they must have some system whereby they can make it work.

Once upon a time, I heralded an entire tournament in Trimaris, of 93 fighters. They fought the byes as well, and it was double elimination. (It was not Crown.) If you do the math, that's a LOT of fights.

That list had a lot of organization behind it - and we started early. Each "round" was set up so that all fighters in it were expected to be armed and ready, and between rounds there was a defined break period. If you weren't ready the second time you were called for a bout, you lost.

The "1 loss" list was separate from the main list, so there were two lists running after the first round. We were done before dinner.

Eastern Lists have a tendency to start late, show a lot of patience for late fighters, and even though we set up 4 and sometimes 6 lists, by moving people around between them we tend to have a lot of waiting time and slack. Also, people do pay attention to the fights, so often there will be just one at a time. Fights can go long (I remember, years ago, one bout that lasted half an hour or more: legendary) and we don't continue to the next round until the current one is concluded.

We could make this more efficient, but it would be a lot less fun to watch.
