Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
