The WHY is obvious to most of the SCA.  In Atlantia there are about 20-25
people out of thousands that have the ability to win crown.  Yet there are
a great many people I know that would great royalty.  These people will
never be king or queen because they can't stand toe to toe with the likes
of Cuan or Logan.  This is not only unfair but it has no historical basis.
This is not how monarchs were chosen in period.

So if it is artificial, un-fair and un-period WHY NOT try something more
appropriate.
