Competition rules are in the order of last use:
The archery contest will be conducted along the lines of a field competition, which means you'll be shooting at life sized cut outs of warriors. These will be lying prone, standing behind trees, hiding in rocks etc. You will be shooting at various distances, also uphill, down hill, along the sides of hills. Three arrows each per target - greatest number of points wins. There will be ten targets - three arrows each = a minimum number of 30 arrows needed and expect to lose or break half of them! The prize if you do, will be worth it.
No rules published, the competition was to see who could climb the highest up a greasy pole during the market.
Obstacle course in full armour, Arrow throwing, Tug-o-war, Banner battle, Mellee on piggyback with sacks, Grail war, Treasure hunt, Tiers.
No rules published.
A five minute firepower demo to see who can score the greatest number of hits in the time available.
The competition was at a fixed target near the dam.
Most of the archers ran out of arrows before the muskets had got off their third shot. I bought 72 arrows to Maldon in 1989 for the rematch (and still ran out).
1. Traditional styled saga.
2. Original piece of music.
3. A song of your own composing.
