Mystery Piece Competition Rules:
1. The object must have been a practical item in general use in the old world after 200 A.D and before 1600 A.D. 
2. The use of the object, as reconstructed, must not be immediately obvious to the casual observer. 
3. The object, as reconstructed, should not be so ornamental as to obscure its intended purpose. 
4. The entrant should be able to document the object and demonstrate its use. 
5. The use of the object must be within the bounds of good taste and decorum. 

Each piece will layed on the table with a "Guess What This Might Be" sheet. All are invited to write down their guesses as to what the piece actually is or what it was used for.  After the winner is announced artisans will be asked to come up and explain what their piece it was and what it was used for.

Body Parts Tournament Rules:
This is a bear-pit style tournament.  You will need to collect 1 head, 1 body, 1 left arm, 1 right arm, 1 left leg and 1 right leg. When you have been knocked out of the pit you will need to tell our list mistress the parts you have collected.  The first one to get an entire body wins the tournament.
