Tournament Information

Their Excellencies and their Champions are hosting our Arts and Sciences Championship as well as the Bardic Championship this day.

Rules for the Bardic Championship are as follows: 

There will be a total of three pieces presented by each participant.

Any and all bardic arts may be presented. (Song, story, instrumental music, drama, dance, etc.)

The first two pieces will be of the contestants’ choosing, either period or non-period but SCA appropriate.

• Documentation for these pieces will be no more than 500 words.
• Illustrations, appendixes, and bibliography will not apply to word count.
• If a non-period piece is used, documentation must include what makes it an appropriate piece

Each of the first two bardic presentations will be a total of 30 minutes maximum. The first 15 minutes will be given for each presentation, with an additional 15 minutes for questions and answers with the judges.

The third presentation will be Master Jason’s bardic challenge.

• Each participant will receive a piece to perform one week before the event.
• The same piece will be sent to all participants. It will be a period song, with English and French lyrics.
• The participants will have one week to prepare the piece for performance.
• Though the piece will be a song, it is up to the performer as to how it will be presented. It can be done as a song (with either or both sets of lyrics used), as a dramatic reading, as a basis for a puppet show, as interpretive dance, etc. This is the place to let your creativity be shown. Let your imagination run wild!
• As in the first two pieces, each bardic presentation will be a total of 30 minutes maximum. The first 15 minutes will be given for each presentation, with an additional 15 minutes for questions and answers with the judges.
• Documentation will not be required for this piece but may be presented if the contestant so desires.

 

Rules for Arts and Sciences are as follows: 

 

The winter holiday is about spending time with the people we care about and celebrating. For the competition, show us a piece of celebration from period. An outfit, a dish, a decoration, etc!

• Documentation is required, maximum of 500 words.

 

Youth and Family Activities

We will have games available for everyone to enjoy throughout the day. We will also have a surprise game for entertainment. This game will be presented shortly after opening court and will be a short but fun tournament.
