Kingdom arts and sciences faire

From MiddleWiki

This is the premiere arts and sciences (A&S) event in the kingdom. Work in it is only eligible for entry after it has placed 2nd place or better at a Regional A&S.

Despite the name, entrants do not compete against each other but only against the A&S criteria for the highest score they can achieve through work quality and documentation. The highest score possible is 30.

The same stringent Middle Kingdom A&S criteria is used at both regional and kingdom level to help carefully chosen judges decide a fair score based on authenticity, scope, complexity and over all impression. The more authentic the item and the better it.

When there are entrants, the winner of the Pentathlon becomes the Kingdom A&S Champion. When there isn't a Pentathlon champion, the Kingdom A&S Champion is chosen by the Crown.
