The entrant with the most tokens in their cup at the end of the day chooses one item from any one of the other entries as a prize. Each entrant then chooses from the remaining entries according to how many tokens they received (largest to smallest number). Each entry may only be chosen once as a prize. The remaining 11 items from each entry will be given to Their Highnesses, at the end of the day for use as largess during Their Reign.

It's the night before Coronation. You're putting the finishing touches in your garb (or checking to make sure it still fits), loading the car... Then you remember, you need to think about what you're going to eat for lunch because there's no fast food within walking distance of the site, and you won't want to drive anywhere and risk giving up your primo parking spot.
Don't worry - we've got you covered! Lunch will be available onsite for $7, which you've got to admit is less than you'd pay for a MacDonald's lunch.
So don't delay and reserve your lunch (and you can pay your site fee while you're at it) by clicking this link:<\/p>\n

It ain't over til it's over.
Coronation isn't over until you've sat down with your friends to enjoy a sumptuous feast! And at $25, it's cheaper than dinner at Applebee's - which is good because the Applebee's in Ventura closed. On the other hand, we won't be serving hot wings.
You can reserve you seat using this link:<\/p>\n

Are you on board? Maybe you're \"off-board.\" Sometimes you want to continue spending time with your friends, but don't - for whatever reason - want to eat the prepared feast. Perhaps you want to bring your own picnic basket, or maybe you want to order from the nearby Topper's Pizza*. We have plenty of free \"off-board\" seating during the feast at Coronation. **
You can reserve your free spot using the reservation form found here: https:\/\/forms.gle\/6XpFuyP8evnj6WAc8
*Toppers is Duke Sven approved.
**Off-board seating is free with payment of site fee.<\/p>\n

They forgot their feast gear! (Except for their goblets for some reason.) Don't be like them - if you are eating the feast, please remember your feast gear and avoid the ignominy of paper plates! You make also bring table decorations (please be tasteful) and your own decorative table cloth for a 60\" round table).
If you are eating the ploughman's lunch, plates and disposable utensils will be provided (or you may use your own).<\/p>\n

It's the night before Coronation. You're putting the finishing touches in your garb (or checking to make sure it still fits), loading the car... Then you remember, you need to think about what you're going to eat for lunch because there's no fast food within walking distance of the site, and you won't want to drive anywhere and risk giving up your primo parking spot.
Don't worry - we've got you covered! Lunch will be available onsite for $7, which you've got to admit is less than you'd pay for a MacDonald's lunch.
So don't delay and reserve your lunch (and you can pay your site fee while you're at it) by clicking this link:<\/p>\n

It ain't over til it's over.
Coronation isn't over until you've sat down with your friends to enjoy a sumptuous feast! And at $25, it's cheaper than dinner at Applebee's - which is good because the Applebee's in Ventura closed. On the other hand, we won't be serving hot wings.

Are you on board? Maybe you're \"off-board.\" Sometimes you want to continue spending time with your friends, but don't - for whatever reason - want to eat the prepared feast. Perhaps you want to bring your own picnic basket, or maybe you want to order from the nearby Topper's Pizza*. We have plenty of free \"off-board\" seating during the feast at Coronation. **
