A good time to identify the current Royalty is during court. Court is a time of high pageantry. The populace bring their chairs and gather at the royal pavilion to hear the words of the Royalty. It is a time for the Royals to thank those who have put together the event, give out awards and prizes for any competitions held and recognize individuals for their hard work. The herald, officers, and event stewards will read any pertinent information or announcements. When the herald says “Hip, hip,” or “Three cheers”, participants are encouraged to respond with a joyful “Huzzah!”

If you are called into court, don’t panic! No one is called into court for something negative. Stand up and wave to show you have heard and make your way to the back of the central aisle. If you have a partner or friend and they are available, take them with you. If not, there will likely be someone at the end of the aisle to escort you. Take their arm and walk calmly towards the Royals. When you reach the last row of seats, bow or curtsy. Release your escort, they can wait here for you. If you are able, kneel on the pillows before the Royals, if not, ask permission to stand. Take their hands, if offered, and listen to the nice things they have to say. Once they have released you, stand up, back away (if safe) to the first row of chairs and your escort. Bow, take your escort’s arm and walk back to the end of the aisle.

Invocation is a special kind of court that is held before the beginning of a tournament. The fighters line up with their consorts before the Royals (peers on the Sovereign's side, non-peers on the Consort’s side.) The herald calls each peer level fighter forward, they present their consort to the Royalty and say a few words. Afterwards, the non-peer fighters are called forward to present their consorts to the Royalty. Once they have done that, they challenge one of the fighters on the peer’s side for their first fight of the tournament.
