Pursuivant's Pursuit
How You Get Points
Points can be earned in many, many ways.  Below is the current list, check back often for additions and mail me if you have a suggestion for something that should be worth points. In case there are any brilliant legal minds out there trying to find all the loop-holes in the contest, here are the "official" rules.
  1. The word of the organizers is law.
  2. The purpose of this contest is to encourage heraldry amoung the small groups of the Kingdom of Ansteorra and to have fun. Anything that attempts to sway this competition that is not in line with BOTH of these goals will be disregarded by the organizers.
  3. To enter the contest, a group must submit a Letter of Intent signed by the Seneschal. No Letters of Intent will be accepted after Winter Coronation 2002.
  4. Points may begin being earned at the time that gate opens at Elfsea Defender 2001.
  5. Points may be emailed to the organizers at thebox@elfsea.net or mailed to 1102 Angel Fire Lane, Arlington, TX, 76001.
  6. A form has been provided to submit points on, but anything that contains the following information will be accepted :
    • The name of the group
    • What the points are for
    • A signature of the coordinator of that event
  7. If for some reason you could not get a signature, email the organizers and we will see what can be done.
  8. Points not received as of Friday April 5th, 2002 must be handed to the organizers at Elfsea Springfaire before Saturday Evening Court begins, or they will not be counted.
