Remember regulation require a man to not be regimental for dance and game.  Good thing that since the last two season a certain scotsman throw off his kilt during the games.   This sounds like a bit of both so gentlescots remember the regulations.   

Thank ye kindly good sir.

Same goes for our fine ladies or even wenches that have the desire to play, we ask you have on bloomers or the proper undergarment because it is not unheard of for women to go toppling when trying to battle for the desired man.
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)

 Since I am going to be there Opening weekend and have experience from last year at the Renndevous- sign me up to participate.
  We need a when and a where. I am sure we can find a willing musician to play.
I do NOT wear bloomers- but will be decent! LOL!

You have only three gents so far nd one might be D-Q'ed due to going regimental. I will gladly play musical men

I'm going to have to check out the areas at the FoF event because I'm still not sure about where we could do this without much issue.

11 by the Maypole could maybe happen, couldn't it? There is plenty of flat area there...

I'd really like to see this game happen but if not enough people are interested in playing within the next two weeks or so, I'm not going to go through with the rest of the planning to get a muscian or find more people. I have no problem organizing this or stamping out the details on the Meet n' Greet, I just need some more feed back! :D

I have a feeling some people will walk up on this and will want to join which will make for plenty of fun. I just need enough people to start and play a round or two then they can trade out. I don't now how many games we'll play but again that all depends on the support.

11 by the Maypole will be great!

Plus, the only stage in that area is the Sea Hag Stage. Just be mindful if there is a stage act at that time.

[I would not reccommend playing if the ground is slicker than a used car salesman, though.
That area is notorious for taking the legs out from under you if it is muddy.]

I wish ya'll the best of fun and I look forward to many pictures!

The game can indeed get a little boisterous, but remember it is a game of flirtation, and although there is contact, it is not a contact sport.  It was created for the court, and as such is done with playful dignity, not as a wrestling match or a brawl in a pub.

Ha you've not attented our Scottish Court much have you.  A wrestling match or a pub brawl is tame compared to what our Lairds get up to.   Its the reason the Scottish Court is the most fun.

What are the chances of this happening during the weekend of April 18th & 19th?  I will be there with my faire virgin sister, and 2 friends.  My one goal that weekend is to make my sister stay a constant shade of red.  And a game like this- played decently of course *grins mischeviously* would definately make her blush. 
Of course I might explain the rules to her a little differently:  "Grab a knee and hold on for the ride!"

Yes it is brother.

That may be so, sir, but this is my game, and played by my rules.  Permission was granted to use it at your fair; I would appreciate it if you all keep to the manner in which it was granted.
