Based on Baronial Policy,

and the whim of the Baroness.

And isn’t that how the world should be run?

§       To be a Champion of Madrone is both an honor and an obligation.  A Champion is expected to participate in Baronial events during the year of their Championship.

§       A Champion may stand behind the Baron and Baroness at Baronial Courts.  Champions sit in a place of honor at Baronial Banquet.

§       A Champion may carry and display their individual Champion's banner, and may wear and display their Champion's cloaks at all events they attend.  They will demonstrate their pride in their championship by wearing these signs on public occasions.

§       A Champion may represent Madrone at non-Madrone events and may carry and display the Baronial Banner at events, which the Baron and Baroness do not attend.

§       A Champion will process with the Barony in Grand Processions at any Crown Tourneys they attend, if this will not conflict with processing as a tourney entrant.

§       Champions are charged to foster their disciplines throughout their year of service by the oath they take, and to act as ceremonial envoys of the Barony.

§       A Champion must teach or organize at least one class or workshop relevant to their Championship, within the Barony, at some point during their term.

§       A Champion must attend Baronial Banquet, and events to select other Baronial Champions.

§       A Champion must attend the next year's Championship competition, and organize their part of the competition.

§       A Champion must be willing and able to swear an oath of service to the Barony.  They need not swear fealty.

§       If there will be a potential for a conflict in service, loyalty, or fealty during the Champion’s term, candidates should discuss these issues with the Baron and Baroness before the competition begins.  Furthermore, a champion should discuss any later conflicts with the Baron and Baroness as soon as possible.

§       Previous or current Madrone champions are welcome to enter this year's competition; Only those gentles who would like to serve as a Madrone Champion should enter the championship competition.  If you do not intend to serve, please do not enter the champion's events.
