>Gulf War 1998 A&S Rules
>
>     The Structure:
>     The A&S war point for Gulf War will be decided upon in an
>equal-number competition between Trimaris and Ansteorra.  Each item 
>will be judged on its own merit, and scored accordingly.  Trimaris 
>and Ansteorra will each enter up to 20 "static" and up to 5 
>"dynamic" items apiece for a total of 25 items.  For definition 
>purposes, "static" refers to items that one would set on a table vs. 
>"dynamic" items such as dance, music, performance, etc. 
>Schedule depending, the dynamic entries will be judged on Friday 
>after the Laurel's reception, leaving the static entries to be judged 
>on Saturday.
>     HOW these competition items are chosen, is completely up to the
>Royalty of the two Kingdoms.  Each set of Crowns will choose the 
>entries to represent Their respective Kingdom.  Of the items entered, 
>Ansteorra and Trimaris have the option of choosing NO MORE THAN 5 
>mercenary items from other Kingdoms to help complete the 25.  Both 
>Trimaris and Ansteorra have the option of not using mercenary items 
>if the 25 are all acquired from within the Kingdom.
>
>
>     Registration:
>     Each static item will be registered in the morning on Saturday 
>and be assigned a code.  Kingdom names will NOT be listed on the 
>item.  Further, all static entries will be kept completely anonymous 
>so as not to bias judging. (To aid this, costuming entries may NOT be 
>entered as "on the body")  Entries will be assigned a code # at 
>Registration on Saturday morning.  All entries must be registered by 
>the time judging begins. There will be NO late registration.  
>Additional items may be on display (i.e. NOT for competition) within 
>the arts hall if space permits.
>
>
>     Judging/Judges:
>     Each entry will be judged (not just a signature on a piece of 
>paper, but JUDGED) on presentation, workmanship, quality, 
>accuracy, documentation, etc.  AT LEAST 2 Trimarian and 2 Ansteorran 
>judges must judge/score each entry.  Judges consist of laurels, 
>apprentices, or sponsored citizens.  A sponsorship will require a 
>sponsor card signed by 2 laurels present at the war.  Sponsorships 
>will take place the morning of the competition prior to judging.  The 
>Kingdom with the highest total score will take the war point. 
> Also, a brief judge's meeting will be held prior to the start of 
>the competition.

>     The Entries:
>     ALL entries should represent items that could have been found or
>brought to Western European culture between approximately 500 c.e. - 1650
>c.e.  If an entry is found to be outside of the realm of Western European
>culture, it is the responsibility of the entrant to discuss and document
>within the write-up how such an item could have found its way into
>Western Europe.
>     Also, ALL entries must be accompanied with a write-up consisting 
>of an entry form, as well as appropriate documentation. Judging 
>requires at least one primary source of documentation or at least  2 
>secondary sources of documentation.  Additional documentation is 
>encouraged if it further supports the basis of an historical entry.
>     A "primary source" of documentation is defined as an actual
>historical artifact, a photographic facsimile, or a reputable 
>scholarly translation and/or modern printed edition of an original 
>work primarily focused on your category.
>     A "secondary source"of documentation is defined as a modern 
>text of narrow scope and exhaustive scholarship focusing on your 
>work or a particular aspect of it.
>     While photocopies of documentation are not required, they are 
>encouraged as they will assist the judges in the process of judging.
>     "Reasonable substitution" - In the case where an entrant finds 
>a particular item to be either too costly or difficult to gather, the
>entrant is expected to document the period item and discuss a 
>"reasonable substitute" used in place of the period item.
>
>
>     Regarding entries vs. entrants:.
>     Dynamic entries:  An entrant in a dynamic piece may be involved 
>in up to one (1) solo entry and/or one (1) group entry for a total 
>maximum of 2 entries.  An entrant may NOT, however, have 2 solos or 2 
>groups.
>     Static entries:  As static entries are completely anonymous, 
>there is no limitation to how many pieces an artist may enter.  How 
>many pieces are entered by a particular Kingdom artist is solely the 
>decision of Their Majesties Ansteorra and Trimaris.
>     Each entry counts as one entry and may not be entered in more 
>than one category.
>
>
>     Retrieving your entries:  
>     Entrants are asked not to retrieve entries and entry/judging 
>sheets until a general announcement is made.
