...I know Christina hasnt thought much about prizes yet (specially since we as
of yet don't even know how many prizes we will have). But I do recall from last
year that we were trying to come up with some event for the castle folks so they
could win some kind of small prize. This castle organized tournament sounds like
a good candidate :-)
...Note for the record, we don't have to give much of a prize for mini-events
like this, its more of the thought that counts kind of thing. We had people
competing over little mini-notepads last year just for the fun of competition
more than the prize...
