[Jararvellir] from the BOD re: invalidation of the MK reign...

[Viscountess Astrid of the Yellow Rose]

FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The invalidation of the reign of Middle Kingdom Crown and Consort Lutr and
Tessa is one which has had ramifications across Kingdom borders and has
emotionally affected many of our members. This action, though unfortunate,
was necessary and was not made without serious deliberation.

There are a numbers of factors which the Board Members must take into
consideration when faced with a situation such as occurred in the Middle
Kingdom – Corpora and the organization's history and precedent. The rules in
the governing documents of the SCA requiring current, valid memberships for
all Crowns and Consorts for the duration of their reigns are clear and
concise. Likewise, precedent has been set in previous similar occurrences
stretching back over twenty-five years. In each case, the penalty for such a
lapse, regardless of cause, has been the same.

Please rest assured that the awards granted and honors given by Lutr and
Tessa during their time on the thrones of the Middle Kingdom remain valid.
The actions of the Board of Directors do not negate these awards.

The Board invites comments from the populace on how such unfortunate
situations could be avoided in the future. Questions, suggestions and
comments can be sent to comments at sca.org.

FYI*************

There is a Crown Tournament to determine immediate King and Queen of the
Midrealm being held the morning of the already scheduled Crown Tournment
(this Sunday) and Sir Lutr will be fighting in that morning Tournament.
