Here are the guidelines

Castle  Construction:
Create your castle.   The base of the castle should be no larger than 24" x 24", with a wall height of no more than 12" and turrets no larger than 18".  You will need space for three flags on your castle.  Flags will be provided.  Keep in mind that your castle will need to be moved around, so weight should not exceed 25 pounds.   Also, the purpose of your castle construction is defense.  Build it to withstand an unexpected attack.
Have fun with your design, recreate your favorite castle from history.  There will be a prize given for the finest example of period construction.

Castle De-Construction:
Catapults will launch ammo at your castle.  After all ammo is launched, the castle with the most flags and least amount of wall damage will be named the Solstice Baronial Protector!
