ENTERING MASTERWORK COMPONENTS If component pieces of a Masterwork Project can be identified as separate items, they can be submitted for judging in regular tournaments such that the combined total is then submitted as a Masterwork project when all is completed. An artisan may submit the entry in Tournament first (for a participation point) and then again before the Masterwork Project judging panel if the Tournament win for the entire project does not receive a Masterwork at that time. For example, if the artist chose to put together a 15th century archer's costume, the artist could enter the chauses, drawers, undershirt, cap, hat, doublet, shoes, and hood all as separate entries. Using the results of the judging, the artist can improve these items and then resubmit the total as a final "archer's costume". If additional improvements need to be made to receive a Masterwork for the costume, the artist can use the Masterwork Project to resubmit the entry. Arts and Sciences Manual as adopted July 2002 Page 13 of 23 The artist is not to enter the hose and doublet separately, then the same hose and doublet together, and then later as the hose and doublet as a part of the archer's costume entry. Each individual item can only be re-entered in a list one (1) additional time with the goal of achieving a tournament win or Masterwork. A single time may be re-entered twice if there has been a significant modification to the project such that it should be able to gain a TW. IV. THE TOURNAMENT LISTS There shall be two (2) tournament lists which shall count toward knighthood: 1. JOURNEYMANS' LIST For those who have not yet achieved the rank of Master; a training area for artisans. Per the Bylaws, only eight (8) participations and one (1) tournament win on the Journeymans' List count toward knightly rank. Once an artisan has a Journeymans' List win, the artisan must compete at the Knights' List level as a Master. 2. KNIGHTS' LIST For artisans of any rank. Experts (one who has a Masterwork/MasterPiece in the art, or who earn their living or who have earned degrees in an art), masters and higher must compete on this list. Participations and tournament wins on the Knights' List can be applied toward knightly rank in lieu of Journeymans' Lists participations and tournament wins. B. TOURNAMENT ENTRIES 1. Participants of any age are allowed to enter a Journeymans' List or Knights List. An artisan can submit one item per Crown event or up to four items per war.
