There will be three categories at each contest:

bullet Fretwork
bullet Intarsia
bulletOpen - Open will include segmentation, non-pierced work, marquetry done with a scrollsaw and inlay done with a scrollsaw.  This category will include all projects which cannot be classified as either Fretwork or Intarsia. At least a major portion of the project shall show evidence of being done with a scrollsaw.  A portion of the project may be built using other tools. 
Examples of projects which are allowed in the Open Category:
bullet Jewelry box, with scrollsaw appliqués on the wood box.
bullet  Large type clock with scrollsaw appliqués on face
bullet Moose antler on a base with scrollsaw picture cut in to antler

Examples of projects which are not allowed in the Open Category:
bullet Carving where a scrollsaw was used to cut the rough block, thus leaving no evidence of scrollwork

Within each category there will be three classes:

bullet Basic
bullet Intermediate
bullet Complex 

The class your item will be entered in will be determined by the staff after all entries are received. The division of the category into classes will be determined first by the complexity of the design of the entry and secondly by the total number of entries in the category. This procedure will give a simple, but elegant Christmas ornament the same chance of winning as a Dome Clock.

The judges will select a First through Fourth place in each class. The First Place Class winners will then compete against each similar class in all categories with the winner receiving the Best In Class award. For an example, The Best In Class Fretwork Basic, the Best in Class Intarsia Basic, and the Best in Class Open Basic will compete against each other for the Best In Class Basic Award. The three Best In Class winners will then compete against each other for the Best In Show award. 

Ballots will be available to all picnic attendees to vote for the Scroller's Choice Award.
