[Archers] Royal round Rules

[Janyn Fletcher]

Lord Grimm, good timing as I was going to post one last post on this subject
so thank you, you beat me to it.

 

The rules posted for Royal Rounds stand as posted stating that one marshal
is acceptable and it does not have to be at a formal practice. I have
changed the handbook and also added a section that contain the posted rules.
The issue is that during Lorelei's time as DEM we agreed to make some rules
changes which for some reason unknown a few of those changes never got
processed in the last update. This was one of those areas. I am glad to
leave the RR rules the way they currently are posted.

 

Secondly to answer Master Siegfried's question about the handbook. I spent a
great deal of time putting it together and more so getting the Monarchs to
approve and sign it. I believe in it and think it is and can be a great tool
provided it does not conflict information. I spent many hours this weekend
going through it and have updated it to assure this is not the case. Master
Jonathas will be posting the update soon and it will be correct. All of the
rules contained in it are now pulled from posted rules so there should be no
issues. Also it was never my intent to subvert "the rules" so I'm not sure
why that even came up? My push was to have a one stop place that new and
experienced marshals could go to view rules, Marshallate information and
other important information concerning archery. I see very clearly that many
of our new MiT's have a hard time understanding where to look for
information and this was a way to solve that. I fully understand the laws in
SCA and Atlantia enough to know that the book of law and policy is the only
true law so I hope we can move past this discussion unless there is a reason
to address it.

 

So yes we are beating a dead horse at this point but my typo in that email
was the cause for the confusion and I believe I have discussed this enough.
Let's go shoot, have fun and remember to throw some Atlatl's as well!

 

In Service,

 

Janyn

Maybe it me, and I am sorry if it seems like I am beating a dead horse but I
still am unclear on a legal royal round score. The kingdom rules for royal
rounds state:

1.	The rules in Section III shall govern the scoring of the Royal
Round. 

1.	For Royal Round scores to be eligible for submission to the
Scorekeeper, they must be witnessed and recorded by a warranted Atlantian
archery marshal.
2.	Royal Rounds may be scored anywhere, anytime, an Atlantian archery
marshal is present to witness/record it.
3.	A marshal may witness scores for him/herself. 

Yet in the handbook it states:

 

A Warranted Target Archery Marshal with one witness present for scores to be
official (two people minimum). The witness needs to be an SCA Member in good
standing and be able to discuss the Target Archery Scoring System if asked
by the Deputy Earl Marshal or a Deputy at some point in the future 

And you have stated:

"As long as we are following our rules of 2 people present and one of them
being a marshal, I'm good."

 

When I became a marshal, I asked several long time marshals if I could go to
a range as a marshal, shoot and record a Royal round score and was told that
this was OK.

Now according to the handbook I need a witness and he or she must be a
member in good standing

Does this mean as per the handbook, that if I and a newcomer who is a
non-member shoot royal rounds together, they cannot count?. 

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Grimm
