Dragon Master
Dragon Master will be held on September 6th, 2014.

It will be held at Old Settler's Recreation Center in McKinney, TX. This will be indoors (with AC). The competition will not be a secretive process. It will be open to people to come inside. We ask that you be respectful (aka not disruptive).
Address:
1201 E. Louisiana St.
McKinney, TX 75069

Expect further information from Stormageddon about fighting activities that will be occurring throughout the day.

Court will be happening later in the day at this location. Axident will be posting details about such.

Categories
    Dragon (Performance, Cooking, Art, Writing)
    Garber (Things made to be worn excluding armor.)
    Owl (things constructed; Armor, Swords, Tables, Castles, Chests)
    Smith (Battlegame Ideas, Write-Ups for Events, Monster class ideas, Fundraiser ideas, websites, rose type entries as well)

Rules
  • You will be allowed to enter 10 entries per Category.
  • Points will be a 0-5 point scale. 2.5 will be average. Entries scoring above 3.5 will have 3.5 subtracted from the score and the remainders will be added to determine final overall score (nothing new in this bullet point for those familiar with A&S in the EH).
  • Any entries that score below 1.5 will subtract from the overall score.
  • Doors will open at 12:30. Entries must be on site and on one of the designated tables by 1:30. One of the guard members will get in the line for signing in the entries at 1:30 (if you are in line and have not signed your items in yet, you will still be allowed to enter.) Special considerations may be considered, but you will need to contact me or somebody onsite before the cutoff.

Notes
  • Keep your write up simple. The judges do not need to know how long it took you, how long you have been working on this skill, time spent on this particular project, or how many awards that you have.
  • Expect to present your items to the judges, answer questions and get some feedback immediately.
  • Please come in with realistic expectations. If you are entering a spectacular belt favor, do not expect a 5. If you are entering the entire outfit for the King or Queen at a renn faire (and it is very well made) then a 5 is much more realistic for that.
  • Judges will be asked to give extensive feedback.
  • To help prevent any favoritism (real or perceived), Judges comments will not be anonymous

Somebody sent me a few questions about DragonMaster. I'm answering them here so that the answers are available to everybody.
Quote:
Hello i have a few questions about the dragon master event next month.

1. What category would a shield fall under?

Construction (traditionally Construction: Shield; but I changed things up a bit)

Quote:
2. How much of a cooked item is needed to be judged?

Most of the judges are likely to only have a couple of bites... that being said, often times the judges appreciate seeing what the completed plate will look like as well. There will not be more than 5 judges so at most enough food for five plates. you could probably get away with only 3 plates (possibly be ok with only a single plate or 2 plates... but your taking chances that the judges will think you were ill prepared)

Quote:
3. Will there be a way to warm cooked food?

There is a full kitchen on site. If you were able to come (I understand if you can't), you could actually just fix the dish on site. Please be considerate of each other if making use of the kitchen area. Also, be aware that the Kitchen is in the same (albeit large) room as the judges. Don't make them think less of you or your entries via your behavior. Most certainly, don't make me remove anybody from the competition because of behavior.

Quote:
4. Is a bardic song considered writing for the dragon category?

It is either Writing or Performance. Depending on the presentation. If you just present us with the written down version of the song then it would be writing. If Performing it... well, it's a performance and will be judged as such.
If you are doing it as a written entry, let the judges know what the tune is. Preferably I won't be judging, I'll just be running it. If I were Judging, then I would prefer to see sheet music to go with it; if you are entering it as 'I wrote this song...' but saying this is to be sung to the tune of "Whatever song's melody I stole," that would be acceptable. If it can stand alone as a poem, then you should consider entering it as such.

Quote:
Additional notes based on the above questions

You should think about how you want the judges to look at the items you are entering. If you want them to focus on how amazingly pretty the shield is, then you could enter it as art. Just keep in mind that entering a shield (or a place setting where you threw the pottery yourself) as art, that it could potentially be up against an oil painting.

      Function and durability tend to be primary factors in Construction.

Shields (real or Amtgard legal), Swords (real or Amtgard legal), Armor, Tables, Chests, Flags, Castle Walls, Even forging cutlery (silverware), plates, Banners, etc... Things you build that aren't garb.
      Garb is judged on a multitude of factors: aesthetics, durability being among the most important

Belt Favors, Tunics, Tabards, Cloaks, Monster Garb, Hats, full Outfits... things you wear that are not intended as Armor
      Dragons are for art... this is more than simply looking pretty

Performances, Food, Writing, 2d & 3d Art are the typical things that fall into this area.
      Smith is ridiculously similar to Rose

Look in the Rulebook under Ladder Awards or in the Corpora so find the specific differences between Smith and Rose. If you have been paying attention to AS in our kingdom for a while you might notice that most things we accept as Rose entries would be better classified as Smith.

I hope this helps.

I look forward to seeing as many people as possible on the 6th. We will work hard to be able to announce the winner and hand out awards that evening at Court. There will be battlegames and such being run by the Champion and we will have AC for those of you who want to get out of the heat or come watch the A&S competition.

Tigger...

If I am planning to enter a food entry to be prepared on site, do I have to tell you what item I am entering by the entry deadline or do I have to be finished with the cooking preparation by the entry deadline?

You MUST have your entries signed in by the deadline. There will be kitchen area available but we don't have unlimited kitchen area and it is a public area so keep that in mind when bringing in your food entries. You probably want to do most of your prep work at home, but things that are best waiting until the last possible moment still do those on site. Also if you want to keep some of your cooking steps secret, Public area, we won't run people off for you.

Those warnings aside, if you want to do a 5 course meal and serve the first part and then start cooking course 2, remember to share the kitchen area.

Yeap. Exactly what that means.

You will get your results before that.

I want all the contestants to get to see their scores before their friends do, but I don't want to drag this out forever either... so Sunday afternoon everybody gets to know whether any/all of the contestants have contacted me or not.

(BTW 2 down, 20 to go...)
