There will be a dirty dozen largess donation derby!

There will be an A&S competition coordinated by Lady Ciana
RAPIER AND A&S TEAM UP!!
In an effort to combine aspects of our society we have decided to
hold a A&S competition that will involve A&S and rapier –
one does not have to enter as a duo but it is strongly recommended
to reach out and promote interactions with these two groups

As with the tournaments this is an inspiration based
competition
Theme of Inspiration to be interpreted by the contestant

Each person will make a 5-10 minute presentation on their
project.
Once each person has presented they will be available at their
individual tables/spaces for questions.
Each person who shows up to these presentations will get a bead
with which to vote
Prizes are awarded based on vote totals

There will be an additional prize to the RAPIER A&S Duo who
score best COMBINED in their disciplines.

To Enter
One page or less of documentation needs to cover what where why and
how
5-10 minute presentation based on your piece( the theme being
inspiration)

To enter in combination with a rapier fighter
The A&S person must come to the list field and make a heraldic
introduction of the rapier fighter including their name, lineage
and who they are fighting for. The A&S person can but does not
have to be the rapier fighters inspiration for the day.

The A&S person should also be at the rapier field for the
majority of the tournament cheering their fighter on.

The rapier fighter must come to both A&S presentation slots and
introduce the A&S person, their lineage and what the project
is

Rapier fighter placement in the tournament will get them a certain
number of points

A&S participants will similarly gain points based on their
placement of combined populace and peerage votes.

Combination of these points will determine the winner of the Pairs
contest

Hope to see you all there!
