The official "scored" beginning of the festival is the written quiz which everyone completes on Friday.   My experience is that the quiz scores really sort out the top positions from the weekend.  

Almost every question about the event is answered somewhere on the "PRIZE LIST"  .  It's a lengthy document, yes, but it is revised every year to be as current and complete as the organizers can make it.   The written test will include questions from the Prize List!!!    This means that the KIDS SHOULD READ IT!!! Then the entry fees and such are itemized on the ENTRY FORM
