Barding

For the Bardic Championship, our Champion has invited prospective performers to prepare two pieces. Different styles of bardic for each would be preferred. Those vying should be prepared for questions about their piece after their performance. Questions will be in the realm of what the piece of bardic is, who created it, and why it was chosen. Don’t stress or prepare an essay on these queries, as simple, candid answers are sufficient.

For the Bard Off, plans are initially for single elimination, though double elimination may be the order of the day if there are fewer participants, or if the crowd demands it. Prepare your best wounds, deaths and dramas. The theme will be WWE-inspired.
