<DIV>Here's a question on venues. Assume with me the following categories of materials: <BR>1. period (or "periodesque" -- composed in a period style) pieces<BR>2. traditional (not able to be dated before ~1600) pieces<BR>3. filk<BR>4. SCA/Ansteorra subject matter<BR>5. instrumental<BR>6. other individual performance -- e.g. juggling, dance<BR>7. ensemble performance -- e.g. plays, scenes, madrigal, dance<BR><BR>What categories and in what order would you deem materials in those categories appropriate for each of the following venues:<BR><BR>Eisteddfod - 1, 2, 4, 3, 5<BR>Other competition for/selection of a royal bard - N/A (Ansteorra only has one "royal bard", and that person is chosen at Eisteddfod)<BR>Title competitions - 1, 2, 4, 3, 5<BR>Non-title competitions - 1, 2, 4, 3, 5<BR>Interkingdom competitions - 1, 2, 4, 5<BR>Kingdom A&S - 1, 5<BR>Circles - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (no order)<BR>Taverns - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (no order)<BR>Fire walking - 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (no order)<BR>Around the list field - 5, 7, 1, 2, 4, 3, 6 (list field is the show, not the bard(s))<BR>Feasts<BR>Stand alone (e.g.specifically set apart as part of an event)<BR>
