No. If you don't have any documentation, and if you're doing a period the
judges know a lot about anyway (or is commonly done), and if your
presentation is good and your construction is right up there, you stand a
chance to get an award. You just can't get a doc award without docs. And
you might lose out to another entry just as good as yours where the fact
that they had docs and you didn't was the tie-breaker.
This can be very important. I've judged two Historic masquerades. We
had an fabulous entry in one of them that would have been a contender
for Best in Show, except the entrant had no documentation. One third
of score was eliminated, removing the contestant from consideration
from Best in Show. The entry did take major awards in both
Workmanship and Presentation. But without documentation it could not
be considered for Best in Show.
