Greetings and welcome to the Scimitar-Talon School for the Knightly arts!

We will be having a series of contests throughout the year.

One of our ongoing contests we have throughout the year is designed to promote
the precepts we are teaching in this school.

The main ideas we are emphasizing with this contest are:
Service Courtesy and Etiquitte Fighting
Optimism (looking for the good in people and what they do)


These activities are to be reported by others as outlined below.

This contest is active

The following are the rules of the tournament:

1. All activities are to be reported by either:
a. 2 students
b. Any one Instructor.
c. Anyone that is the recipient of the tasks
(The person you helped, fought, A&S Judge,...)

2. ANY solicitation on the recipients part:
a. Will void the report
b. Will void any points that would be awarded.

3. Points will be awarded for each of the following:
For each different non-school fighter fought.
1 point for non peer
2 points for peer (Knights or better to open)
- Can be in tourney or singled out combat
1 pt for every A&S category entered
1 pt for every helpful act

Ongoing points. (After the event)
Participation points:
1 point: Every Scimitar-Talon Class attended
- Must be there and participating for at least 80% of the time.
1 point: Every event where Scimitar-Talon is present as an entity.
1 point: Every new student that returns to their 4th class
1 point: Every helpful act

Remember:
- Must be witnessed by any instructor or 2 students
- Names must be submitted with no solicitation from the student.
- Written detailed account/date/time of what the student did.

In regards to the 'Helpful Act' points:
The criteria that Instructors or students use to report is subjective.
If you get upset because no one is submitting helpful act points for you,
then there are 2 main reasons why:
1. You are not doing it for the right reasons,
(that's why you're upset.)
2. You are not doing enough that it is obvious.
(Not that this is a bad thing, but remember, most people are not used to
looking for the best)

These points will be tallied up and reported quarterly.
An award will presented at the end of the year School Gathering

I will be adding point tasks as time goes on.
If you have any suggestions for point tasks and how to award them,
please feel free to e-mail me at aonghais@...

Thank you
