Sigmund & Don Giacomo

There will be a cache of prizes for the Individual Winners of each of 
the above activities.  The point system for selecting the Overall 
winners from amongst the Chivalric and Rapier entrants will be: 3 
points to the winners of each round for the Single Elim. List.  In the 
Progressive Melee each member of a winning team will receive 3 
points each round.  Each entrant also receives 1 to 10 points for 
competing in the Bardic, A&S, Obstacle, Heraldry, and Dance 
competitions.

Armor inspection opens at 8am & the Progressive Melee starts at

help. The actual competition runs 3-5pm.  Bardic category & theme is
