Hello all,

Here is the layout and rules for the Siege Cooking
Competition at the A&S Tourney on July 21-23.


Feudalism is built upon a relationship of obligation
and mutual service between vassals and lords. A vassal
holds his land, or fief, as a grant from a lord. As
part of his service, a vassal is obliged to feed and
house the lord and his company when they travelled
across his land. This obligation could be an onerous
one. William the Conqueror travelled with a very large
household, and if they extended their stay it could
nearly bankrupt the lord hosting them.

You and your team cook for a country vassal. The king
and his entourage have decended upon you. Luckily they
say they will leaving tomorrow.. but your lord is
determined to do his best to impress the king (even
though he actually has meager goods). Prepare a meal
to impress a king.
