A&S Champion

From MiddleWiki

An A&S Champion is someone who is selected first among contestants in arts and sciences challenges (especially as the winner of a tournament or other competition) or someone who is outstandingly skilled in their field of research. A&S champions sometimes serve as evangelists or advocates for particular arts and sciences causes (such as public education) either of their own accord or at the request of royalty or baronial nobility.

Kingdom A&S Champion - A position appointed as seen fit by the royalty of the Middle Kingdom. Traditionally the winning entrant of the Pentathlon is appointed as Kingdom A&S Champion because it is considered by many to be the premier arts and sciences competition in the kingdom, but not necessarily as it is the decision of the King and Queen whom they pick. Although common, not every reign has a Kingdom A&S Champion.

Divisional A&S Champion - There are five divisions of the criteria, if someone wants to compete for Divisional Champion they need to enter three different categories in that division and score better than the other competitors!

An individual Barony may also have an Baronial Champion for Arts and Sciences. Baronial A&S Champion - A position chosen in the manner seen fit by the Baron/Baroness of the Barony. Not every Barony has an A&S Champion.

See also Baronial Champion, Kingdom Champion.

Kingdom A&S Champions

Listing Queens first as the Queen is the patroness of the Arts. Note many champions were named by the spring reign at Kingdom A&S and continued until the next year's Kingdom A&S Competition, thereby remaining champion for one year over two reigns:
