<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Hello all!</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><br></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I hope all of you are considering displaying your art or entering it at the Agincourt A&S competition on October 20.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The same rubrics as the ones for the A&S Faire will be used. Most people entering the A&S competitions know what their deficiencies are, and unfortunately, that seems to be the rubric that tends to attract most comments. Unless the judging is face to face, which is not always feasible, it is rather frustrating to get back a sheet of comments which, while correct, are not particularly helpful. So, to make things more straightforward, you get to drop a rubric of your choice. The rubrics and the scoring sheets will be available at the A&S desk, and you get to cross out the one you feel is not helpful. (For example, if you always get dinged on use of correct materials and are tired of explaining that the price of gold is prohibitive, mercury salts are a health hazard, and grave digging is illegal, just drop that rubric. If documentation is your nemesis, and you have an exemplar, but not the 20 page paper on the history of the thing, feel free to drop the documentation rubric, with one caveat - you still need to provide enough information for the judges to know what is it they are judging.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Very basic documentation blank sheets will be provided.)</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">However, if the scores are tied, the dropped rubric may be scored for the purposes of tie breaking only.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The winner of the Agincourt triathlon will get a shiny scroll, and a $50 Amazon gift card, as it seems the only prize useful in such a diverse competition.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Additionally the winner of each category (shipwrecks, things that never were, fit for a king, the Romans did it better, and projectiles) will receive a scroll to commemorate the occasion.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There is a required martial component. If the entrant is unable or unwilling to participate in the martial component, a stand in champion will be provided. The winner of the martial component will be determined by skill and luck (but mostly luck) and will also receive a small prize.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
