Pentathlon
The Caid Arts and Sciences Fair and Pentathlon is the Kingdom's Arts and Sciences event that used to occur annually; however, it became bi-annual beginning with the 1993 competition, and after a brief hiatus, has occurred every other year since 1997. Its primary objectives are to give the artisans of Caid an opportunity to showcase their abilities, and in the course of preparing the required documentation, learn learn more about SCA-period arts and sciences. Judging is done by comparing entries to an ideal, rather than pitting contestants against each other.
From 1980 through 1986, competitions occurred throughout the year at Kingdom events. No Pentathlon was held in 1987. Beginning in 1988, the Pentathlon became its own weekend-long event. In 1995, a new "Team"-level track was added. The first "People's Choice" award was given at the 2013 Pentathlon.
