3. What should an appraiser do if the extreme gear is so small they can't see it well enough to appraise it?

Give the Team a score of Zore becasue the Gear is too small.

The appraiser shoud ask a team member to take the Gear into the Audiance so everyone gets to see it.

The appraiser should move to a location close enough to see the Gear.

Appraisers should move as close as needed, provided they do not interfere with the team’s presentation, in order to see well enough. If the gear is still too small, then the appraisers must closely examine it at the end of the presentation and question the team thoroughly so they can have a very good understanding of what it is and how it should operate.

If it comes from another team member of the team manager, then a small deduction may be appropriate as it could impact the effectiveness of the presentation (discuss this with your Head Appraiser and/or Challenge Master).
