7 HISTORICAL CAMPING RULES There are many benefits to historical camping both within the event itself and beyond. Participating historical reenactment clubs can educate the public on the history of their impression, earn points for their faction and network with new recruits through historical camping. Historical encampments will be able to score points for their factions through a variety of activities. Starting Saturday at 1000 until Sunday at 1000 all historical camps will be judged using the following rules. All camps will be inspected and scored at random by the event director during daylight and darkness hours. Historical camping areas will be divided by factions. One each for Allied, Axis and Partisan impressions. One point will be deducted for every piece of farb item (not authentic item) spotted in the camp. This includes but is not limited to food and beverage, sleeping gear, tents, clothing, tools, military gear, electronics, music, vocabulary and overall appearance of the camp. For every participant that sleeps in the camp, in authentic clothing between 2300 Saturday and 1000 Sunday the faction will earn 5 points. Best encampment graded on size, authenticity and quality of cuisine will be subjectively judged by the Event Director and the winner will be awarded 50 points, 7
