Iron Artisans Team Largesse Competition
Teams of 2-4. Pre-registration of teams will guarantee a Sack for your team and help us get the right number of sacks but is not required. 

Each team gets: Sack of 11 things. 10 are standard (i.e. cloth, beads, leather, metal, parchment ect.)--and the 11th one is unique (a cup, a small statue, a big wad of twisted wire). 
Registration forms and Sacks will be available at Gate Friday night.
Last chance to enter and pick up a Sack is 9am on Saturday. Each Team has until 4pm Saturday to turn it in for scoring.
Team with the most points wins the prize basket. 
Scoring: 

• 1 point for including a child on the team 
• 1 point for including an adult without an AOA on the team 
• 1 point for including a peer (Knight, Laurel or Pelican) on the team 
• 25 points if all 11 items are combined into a single entry. (If the parts of the entry aren’t physically connected, convince the judges that it is one entry.)
  15 points given to the Baron & Baroness’s favorite
   5 points for including Black Stars
   5 points for including Eldern related themes (i.e. bison, mountain, ect.)
• 1-3 additional points for a great story that goes with the entry

 --or-- 

• 2 points for each of the 10 original materials combined in the final entry if all 11 don’t go together. (So, an entry with 6 of the original materials is 12 points, and entry of 9 = 18 points)
