[Bards] Local bardic championship formats and judging

[Michael Silverhands]

Greetings, cousins:

Several points have been made regarding local championships:
* they are the "front line" of bardic in the Kingdom, for many people
* they could possibly be used as a preliminary round for Eisteddfod

They also have some problems:
* they could stand to be better promoted
* they could stand to have more uniform standards of judging
* what about champions who aren't so much the victor of a  
competition, as the (possibly whimsical) personal choice of the  
Nobility?

Your thoughts?

Michael
