Running a competition

Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism may be interested in using the concept of Ride Before a Prince in a competitive format (although it should be noted that there are no known references to such competitions in the 16th century).  Riders create their own pattern of several movements from 16th c. riding manuals, and are then judged by 16th c. criteria.

How to run a competition

• Organizer handout
• Class handout (PDF version of this web site)
• Simplified score sheet (PDF). Fewer judging criteria but does not provide as much guidance (or consistent scoring) as the new scoresheet.
• Detailed score sheet (PDF). RECOMMENDED. Better defined judging criteria and more guidance on scoring.
