[Archers] Specifically, the 'written exception' rule

It is not the complexity of the rule.  (At least not for the majority of
marshals, if there are some baffled by the complexity, then I agree with
you, there may be some cases of people not having understood the
original rules) ...

It's a problem of the wording.  As pointed out in earlier emails.  The
previous wording while perhaps seen by you as only subtlely different,
was actually much more clear.  The current wording has caused already 3
different reads on what the zone is supposed to be.  The proper one as
clarified by you, The one I and others had read originally, which was
100yds past the target, and the one Christophe and others had, of 100yds
in every direction.

The wording could be cleared up, to make this crystal clear.

The other 'complication' is not in the 'measurement' part of the rules.
 But in the waiver requirement, which, IMO, is going to be onerous,
especially as the complication of it grows for large archery events like
On Target.

In Service,
Siegfried
