[Artemisia] Judges for Estella...

[Bradley Wolf]

The category of tabletop games is one that I'm not sure what we'll see.
Keep in mind that while turned chess pieces are not difficult to make, the
judging includes Authenticity as well as difficulty.  If someone hand carved
all the pieces, they would get a better score for difficulty.

The A&S forms are created new each year as they are category specific.  You
can look at this year's forms at
http://www.estrellawar.org/ArtsSciences/EstrellaWarASCompetition/tabid/346/D
efault.aspx

they are at the bottom.

I always have a mundane conflict that weekend but this
topic I have interested in and is something I wouldn't
mind this category for a local A&S event.

So another stupid question!

Can anybody describe what they would expect to see
entered at Estrella for this category?

There are many examples of turned chess pieces and
they are not difficult to make but the board is where
I would have a question on.  Are we talking a plane
board, an actual table that is furnature or something
in between.

There are other games like backgammon that would also
fit into what I am talking about with chess.

Unlike the Kingdom A&S site, I don't see the judging
criteria.  I couldn't find a copy of the judging form.

Again, sorry for the stupid questions.

Michael
