Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Mistress Katya and all other interested parties, Greetings!
   I did not attend this year's Champions Weekend, for several reasons.  If there were 2 separate events, I would choose to attend the separate Arts and Sciences Competition over Champions weekend.  As an artisan who works mostly with skills that do not do well outdoors (calligraphy, needlecrafts, occasional performing arts -- where the sound is lost outdoors--, research papers, etc.), I would much prefer an indoor site for Arts & Sciences.  If a large, enclosed hall -- NOT a pavilion where the wind can blow thru! -- could be part of the event site, then I could see combining the 2 events.
I would also add that so many separate kinds of competitions make for a very! full weekend -- and I understand that originally this year's Champions was scheduled for 2 days, but that later it was reduced to just one day -- really not enough time for everything, in my opinion.  I also have a problem with the suggestion that if a person is interested in more than one competition, they must choose.  That is just not right, and detracts from the idea of encouraging the arts.
   My two copper pennies,
   Mistress Iduna Snorradottir
