<DIV><SPAN class=671582915-02122008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just had an idea on
how to deal with kingdoms with large turn outs versus those with smaller turn
outs, normalize the scores. That is, total the scores for all teams from
each kingdom then divide the total by the number of teams competing. That
would result in "one" score for each kingdom represented that could be
competitively compared to all other kingdoms that shot.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=671582915-02122008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kingdom A has 5
teams for a total score of 110. 110 / 5 = 22</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=671582915-02122008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kingdom B has one
team for a total of 24. 24 / 1 = 24</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=671582915-02122008><FONT face=Arial size=2>This idea could be
used to determine the overall winner. I still like the idea of setting
categories for Novice through expert archers. As for doing this over many
days, I agree with Allen, not in favor of that. While it is new it would
get boring after a while. I think we could advertise this and do it in one
day on one of the ranges without having to close all the ranges down.
There is no reason we could not design the shoot to have multiple things to
shoot at and allow a whole line of archers to shoot at once. Think in
terms of the advancing man range. Only in this case targets at distance X
value such and such and are different than targets at distance Y with different
scoring. Team A shoots at targets A then moves down the line next time to
shoot targets B. Teams continue through the line until all "stations" are
shot. This way we could run multiple groups at the same time and just
process them through the shoot stations and do it all on one range leaving the
other ranges open from practice or other things.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
