<DIV><FONT size=2>Quick last-minute question: individual piece time
limits, and will there be any variance in time limit for pieces in later
rounds?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Second quick question: in order to fulfill a promise to
Diarmuid, I have a sonnet by his hand that I intend to perform -- and
can certainly do so *appropriately* for first round. Otherwise, I find
myself currently unable to travel on a regular basis and so possibly not the
best candidate to make a full run at the title. What will the policy be on
withdrawal before elimination?</FONT></DIV>

the performance is not period or a period style, the documentation would
simply be the story behind the piece. Who wrote it? Why?
When? Is it about Ansteorra or Ansteorrans, or other SCAdians, or
someone or something from history? If so, let us know. If you
wrote it, what inspired you? I imagine that most of
the campfire or Ansteorra rounds will have documentation of no more than
a paragraph or two in length (if that), unless it also happens to be period,
but there is no minimum or maximum documentation length
requirement. Use what you need to educate us about your
performance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=545493602-22112005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Of
course, if the piece is period (or period style), let us also know that,
too. Please let us know the period(s), how & where it would have
been done in period, and if you do it differently, why? If it's in a
foreign language, where did you learn to pronounce it? If possible,
give another example or two of the style. Lastly, please
include references - at least three is a good rule of
thumb. (Books, manuscripts, reputable internet sites, journals, CD's,
etc.) If any of your references are primary, secondary or
tertiary sources, let us know that, too.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Most esteemed Kat,</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>At the risk of sounding obtuse.......what type of documentation do you
require for a campfire piece, and the Ansteorran piece if it is not in
period style? I am trying to get my Elfsea group ready for Eisteddfodd and
want to pass on your requirements appropriately. I am looking forward to
your competition and applaud your continuation of a
multi-level/multi-competent competition. I hope to hear from you soon.</DIV>
