[Sca-cooks] My experience with the Savory Tosted Cheese contest

[ysabeau]

The reason she asked for advanced notice is because the hall was 
rather small for all the planned activities and she needed to know 
how much space to request from the event steward. Space was 
definitely at a premium. I believe she also bought "thanks for 
entering" gifts for everyone that entered. 

Even though this wasn't an "official" Bryn Gwlad event, I believe 
all of the BG events request a notification of some sort that you 
wish to compete. Last minute entries are accepted because the 
Baron understands that life happens and wants everyone to have 
fun. He usually gives a prize to the most creative entry 
notification. I think I heard him mention at some point that it 
was period to require pre-registration so the "powers that be" 
could verify your credentials.

An example of notification from one of the young men doing boffer 
was something about wanting to do it because the girls like to 
watch and he was hoping to catch a particular girl's eye. Some 
were as simple as "I, Heavy Fighter, squire to Sir Big Stick, plan 
to compete for the title of Bryn Gwlad champion."
