7.02.2.7 Each person must be a member of the S.C.A., and must live at a residence with direct access to the Dragon's Tale. The Victor and Consort must maintain their membership without lapse, throughout Their tenure as Successors and Crowns.

7.02.2.8 The intent of a residency requirement is to ensure that participants in the Crown List are familiar with Drachenwald culture, traditions, and customs and that they understand the unique aspects of our Kingdom. Therefore the residency requirements for all participants are:

7.02.2.8.1 Participants must have resided in Drachenwald for the six months preceding the Crown List entered.

7.02.2.8.2 Each participant must have attended at least six official events (before Crown Tournament), held in Drachenwald, listed on the Kingdom Calendar in the Dragon's Tale, in the preceding twelve months. Additionally, each participant must have attended one official event (defined by the same requirements), more than 6 months before Crown Tournament but not more than 24 months before Crown Tournament. This event may be one of the six but does not need to be.

7.02.3 Each Participant will sign a statement, prior to the tourney, saying that they meet the requirements for membership and other requirements as listed above. This statement will be kept by the Seneschal's Office until the end of the Victor's reign.
