Winter Qualifications
Registration for the cultural tourney will begin at 1:30pm and war tourneys and judging will begin at 2:00. This means that all items MUST be registered by 2:00. To qualify, you must enter at least 5 different categories and five war events per criteria for Barony Status. The average of your cultural scores must be at least a 3.0, and you (or your appointed “Champion”) must have entered and participated in at least 5 War events. In addition, aspiring officials must also pass a reeve’s test before holding the office.

There will be 5 judges and entrants will need to provide enough of each entry for all of them to taste. Be prepared to have a way to maintain your own dish until it can be judged (hot/cold). Bring plates, cups and utensils if they will be needed to judge your entry.
