I do not find it odd that someone should recieve recognition from the
Crown before recognition from the (Baronial) Coronet, especially for
service awards. Take, for example, a gentle who goes to 2-3 events a
month and always serves at the feast and helps with site clean up.
Someone going to so many events and consistently helping out will
eventually be noticed by the Crown or companion of the Gold Dolphin and
recieve due recognition. The Baronial level service award is usually
designed to honor those gentles who serve *the Barony* beyond what is
expected of a subject of that Barony. This same gentle never autocrats,
holds office, or heads up serving or clean up, and so is not doing *for
the Barony* any more work than is expected of a subject. But doing this
work at *every event* he attends is certainly more service *to the
Kingdom* than is expected of a subject.
For fighting and A&S awards, this logic breaks down a bit, but it could
still happen with someone who teaches at University, but never at local
A&S nights, for example. But i do not find a problem with gentles who
have been recognized on the Kingdom level, but not on the Baronial
level.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that it did. What I found confusing was why t
hese
individuals were obviously noticed by Crown for their service to their Barony,
but
find it odd that 2 out of 3 did not get Baronial level awards. You would think
that
their work would first be noticed by the Barony and then the Kingdom as you sug
gest.
To get a Kingdom award and not a Baronial award (ever) seems really strange.
Certainly makes it seem like the awards are not clear in their criteria at some
level
(Kingdom or Baronial) in at least the cases I mention or that there were other
factors
at work (which, if either, or both, I'm not qualified to say since I was nowher
e near
the people during the time the awards were made). Just very strange overall.
