The awards ceremony was broken into two parts: the first was the [[Micronational Hall of Excellence]] whereby [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prime Minister Jordan Farmer]] inducted the first eight awardees. Two recipients were on hand to accept their award in person and two others were accepted on the awardees behalf by someone from their micronation. | |||
During the second part of the awards ceremony, attendees bestowed the highest award from their nations upon other attendees. In previous MicroCons, this ceremony sometimes took hours to complete, but utilizing the new format, it was wrapped up in a brisk 45 minutes due to the great success of the Awards Royale earlier in the day. | |||
===Pub Trivia=== | |||
As the gala began to wind down, Commodore Miller from Molossia took to the stage and hosted a wildly popular MicroCon Pub Trivia event. | |||
==Post-Conference Bowling== | |||
On Sunday, 7 August, 31 delegates met together for an informal bowling tournament at the Sam's Town Bowling Center. Matthew Salzer of Ladonia kept track of the scores and awarded the top three bowlers with certificates of achievement. | |||
The top bowler, representing the micronation [[Beatus Cras]], also received a .999 silver coin from the leaders of North Barchant. | |||
