send an e-mail to myself and/or Guillaine with any questions you may have.

All entries for the single entry category, and the championship
category must have a written letter of intent submitted by May 21st.

You must describe your entry in basic, but specific terms. This will
enable judges and space requirements to be arranged to show your
entries at their best!

Letters of intent should be forwarded to the following people:
Silverwolf Champion,
(Guillaine de Gualle: tkdpayne@yahoo. ca)

Their Excellencies Borealis

The Rules:

Borealis Arts and Sciences Championship Rules and Guidelines

1. All entries must be within the time period 500-1600 CE, and be of a
European culture, or from a culture that had contact with Europe at
that time.

2. Champion competitors must have at least 3 separate entries in order
to be eligible to become the overall winner of the Borealis Champion
of the Arts and Sciences. You may enter four items, in which case
only the best three will count toward your total score.

3. Individual objects may count toward no more than two entries
(i.e.: 10th Century gown with embroidery may count as a Costuming and
an Embroidery entry. Bear in mind that for such cross-entry, each
entry should be adequate to stand up as a full entry on its own and
have individual supporting documentation. ). All objects must be
announced prior to the event.

4. While there are no specific categories for the competition,
entrants are expected to describe their entries with enough
information to determine suitable judges, and thoroughly document the
focus of their entry for the competition.

5. All entrants will be expected to identify themselves and their
entries, and must be available during their scheduled judging periods
to answer any questions regarding their entries.

6. Entrants may not enter the same object in more than two Borealis
A&S Competitions, nor is it permissible to enter objects previously
entered in a Kingdom or Principality Championship.

7. You must be a resident of Borealis to become a champion and you
must be willing to maintain a membership during your time as champion
of the Barony. There is no membership or residency requirement for
single entry participants.

Technical ability: 70 points

Complexity of subject: 30 points

Bonus: 10 points

Responsibilities of the Champion:

To swear fealty to your Baron and Baroness

To encourage and promote the Arts and Sciences

To help run the next championship with the Baronial Arts and Sciences
Minister

RAPIER:

Here are the propossed rapier tourney at Silver Wolf. (subject to
change depending on the numbers of rapier fighters that show up)

All rapier fighters are welcome to participate but only those local to
Borealis will become Champion.

I am planning to hold five single elim tourneys each one of the
disiplines of rapier (other than case). In other words it a London's
Master Tourney. You need to know your basics = open hand, dagger,
baton, shield and cloak.

The top three Borealis finishers in each tourney will recieve points.
1st = 5 points 2nd = 3 points 3rd = 1 point. The fighter with the
most points will win the championship. If there is a tie then we will
have quick best out of 5 to determine the champion. For the other
rapier fighters that participate, they will be having the same done for
them but they will be playing for a prize.

Arterius Heronimus

Rapier Champion of Borealis

HEAVY:

The Silverwolf Heavy Championship Tourney will be a
60 min. Iron Cross to select a final group (depending
on list size) for a best two-of-three single
elimination final. All tourney legal combat styles are
allowed. The final group will be locals only but there
will be an open prize for the highest finisher in the
Iron Cross.
