He will play when requested to do so, by the chief of his team, to inspire them to greatness, or at his request to terrorize the opposing team when it might appear that they might outdo his clan in a show of strength during the competition.

Pipers will be seated and feasted lang side his team in the Warrior's Tent Saturday nite. All pipers will receive a Stone. Pipers will receive the same rewards as prizes, sterling warrrior crosses, as received by their winning team. The piper that has a Warrior O' Destiny on his team, will receive a special shirt proclaiming him PIPER O' TH' WARRIOR O' DESTINY.

All prizes & schedules are subject to change. Announcements made at Th' Gatherin' take

precedence over printed material.
