DOCUMENTATION VIEWING TABLE (NEW!)
==================================
Comprehending that the populace would like to read over and view the 
documentation and understanding that the entrant has left the 
documentation for the judges (and, not all entrants wish to have all see 
their documentation ) a VOLUNTARY POPULACE DOCUMENTATION VIEWING TABLE 
will be set up so entrants who wish, may leave a copy of their 
documentation for the populace to look through.

Things to note about the Documentation Table:

1) this is not a handout station...please, look at the documentation and 
leave for others to see.

2) this is VOLUNTARY on the part of the entrant...if they do not leave a 
copy for populace that is their choice.

3) entrants should mark this copy : "FOR POPULACE DOCUMENTATION VIEWING 
TABLE" with their entrant number so it can be returned.

4) only documentation specifically marked and at that table is available 
for general populace viewing.


JUDGING SHEETS AND FEEDBACK:
=============================
All entrants will receive four (4) judging sheets (one per principal 
Kingdom) Judging sheets will be placed with item between 5:30-6pm when 
entrants may pick up works of art. Do not take your work without 
collecting your judging sheets.

Please, note each judging sheet will have your 4 digit number and an 
A,B,C or D on each sheet (example: you might have on your judging 
sheets: 4567A , 4567B, 4567C and 4567D)

Judges from each Kingdom will only judge the letter assigned to their 
Kingdom.

Atenveldt judges all A’s
Outland judges all B’s
Caid judges all C’s
Artemisia judges all D’s

What do those numbers mean?
------------------------------
Each of the 5 areas; DOCUMENTATION, COMPLEXITY AND/OR DIFFICULTY, 
WORKMANSHIP, AESTHETIC QUALITIES, CREATIVITY AND/OR AUTHENTICITY are 
each rated on a 1-5 scale.

So that all may have a better understanding of the numbers used on 
Estrella War judging sheet the rubric will be used:

A rubric for the numbers
------------------------------
1= Below basic standard
2= Meets basic standard
3= Exceeds basic standard
4= Meets exceptional standard
5= Exceeds exceptional standard


*May I bring another person's works and if so what should I know?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, you may bring someone else's entries. You will need to have their 
full mundane and SCA name, mundane address, contact information and what 
Kingdom are they declaring for. Also, it is a great idea to discuss in 
advance how that individual would want their display set up. The 
registration staff will NOT set up your displays.

POPULACE and PUBLIC VIEWING
=====================================
Morning populace viewing from 9:45am-10:45am
Afternoon populace viewing from 5-pm -5:30pm

Visitors may NOT TOUCH any item or any paperwork (including 
documentation) with an entry. We will have a table that contains extra 
copies of documentation (if the entrants have participated) that 
interested parties may look at.

The attendants will be available and will remind the populace that 
viewing is not 'a touching experience'. They are protecting the works 
and will have the authority to ask someone to leave if violations persist.
