standard
I am thinking of using a gold chess rook on black. Gold for generosity and fairness Black for wisdom Rook for strategic thinking and defense
(My second choice would be a bear, "Strength, cunning, ferocity in the protection of one's kindred" and also because I seem to be good at pushing people out of bounds.)
I would like to get the exact measurements of the lots and scoreboard standards this Saturday.

Re: standard
I don't see a problem with the rook. Per Wikipedia: Quote: Symbology
In heraldry, chess rooks are often used as charges. Unlike a real chess rook, they are conventionally shown with two outward-curving horns. This is because they would otherwise appear to be castle towers, since there is no proportion on a coat of arms. This charge is always blazoned "chess rook" so as not to be confused with the bird of that name; it is also not to be confused with the zule, a similar-looking object with two outward-curving horns at both top and bottom.

Re: standard
I think the rook sounds good. The meaning behind it is great too.

Re: standard
Bummer, I forgot to measure anything. Does anyone happen to know the right sizes?

Re: standard
Are you talking about how many pixels the digital image should be? Because the one for the web page should be 150 x 150. For some reason most of them are 150 x 157, but that number seems odd.
And it should be a .gif file.
If you are talking about rules for physical banners, well we have some rules about them...but we don't really use physical banners anymore. I don't know the measurements of the wooden lots we use for picking fighters.

Re: standard
Lots are usually 1" X 2". What I've done in the past is gotten a cheap wooden yardstick from Lowes and cut it into 2" sections.
The big wooden standard things we use on the pegboard are 6" wide, I think. Not sure on the length from top to point or the degree of the angle.

Re: standard
I made my standard with a Celtic design to symbolize my Irish ancestry and Latin symbols to pay homage to Britain's Roman beginnings on a blue and white field. So now that I've made it, how do I upload it?

Post it up in the forum or send it to me in a PM and I'll set it up.
