Cragmere Exemplar

The Exemplar is one who exhibits the qualities of courtesy, chivalry, honor, generosity, and service. In addition to those qualities, the Exemplar encourages others in their own endeavours (such as the arts and sciences, combat, etc.), fosters the development of the shire within the SCA, and promotes the shire in the larger SCA world.

The Exemplar is selected by nomination; each shire member writes down the name of their choice, and the reasons for it. The out-going Exemplar is excluded from the potential nominees, as is the Seneschal. The out-going Exemplar collects all nominations, finishing no later than the beginning of the Exemplar's event. The out-going Exemplar counts the nominations for each person, casting any tie-breaking vote needed. The new Exemplar is invested by the out-going Exemplar at the Exemplar's event.

Our very first championship in 1998 was created to resemble the highland games of medieval Scotland, and included wrestling, boulder-tossing, tug-o-war, and so on. Since then, with every "championship" we have modified our games to suit our interests. Not only must the winner be fleet of foot and hand, quick of wit and tongue, but also courteous and otherwise personable. By 2002 or thereabouts, we changed the title to better reflect our ideals, and to leave room for champions of specific fields. In February of 2006, we created the guidelines that you see now.
