Trimarian Court Bingo

Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Two Peers take a joint Associate. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.
Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. King Odo says that someone "rocks". FREE SPACE Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s).
The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown.

Instructions: Pay attention in court! If you see or hear something described in one of the boxes, mark off that box. If you mark off five boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- true diagonal, not "sort of" diagonal), jump up and shout "Bingo!" (and pray that the Crown has a sense of humor).
