Upon entering the lower level of Avalon, only a few notable changes have been made for the first official Court of the year. A small table is set by the coat/weapon check, with name badges arranged with the contestants names: @Max Heinz , @Chris Wooding , @Erich Passions , @Velma Star , @Ashley Cohen , Savnok , @John Smith . The Prince's ghoul, Nika Crassus, attends the coat room.
The formal Court area has been paneled in wood, and to one side is a pair of podiums facing one another. Seating is arranged opposite of the podiums for spectators, as well as on the raised area for Court officials.
Court is open. The doors 'close' to new entries on January 4th.
