Avacal is changing the format for the Arts & Science Championship for 2019/20. The new format mirrors the martial format of the Tournament of Tournaments, with participants accumulating points at various A&S activities and competitions through the course of the year. The participant with the highest points is named Champion for the upcoming year. This innovation will ensure that the A&S Champion is engaged in the community throughout the Kingdom via a means of various activities, ranging from competitions to teaching and demonstrations.
Points are recorded from May Grand TUA to May Grand TUA. A letter of intent is necessary, due at February Crown, stating one’s intent to vie for the Championship. Points are allocated as follows:
Participants are responsible for recording their points on the Avacal website, and will be publicly available. The scoring deputy will confirm the points before entering them in the database.
Details regarding Tournament formats will be announced in advance. It is the hope of the Kingdom Minister of A&S that these changes will help to make the arts and sciences more accessible and less anxiety-inducing for those wishing to participate, but who find the current format too restrictive.
Questions regarding these changes can be directed to Her Ladyship Adelheid Holzhauer (KMoA&S), Her Excellency Master Mai Azarionos, O.L. (deputy to KMoA&S) and Master Philippe de St-Denis, O.L. (deputy).
