I first of all want to thank everyone that came out to try out and support the Champion’s team. This year was one of those strange ones and in the end Atlantia had 15 Atlantian’s on the Champions team. We were allowed 20 primaries with 4 alternates. I want to thank Lord Ghijskijn for his assistance with practices, it was a big help to me and freed me up to pay attention to those that we did not know of their abilities. There was some confusion this year on the part of our Ally’s Archer General. It turned out that he was very distracted (he was elevated to Pelican during Pennsic) and did no prior planning. During the Champion’s shoot we discovered that a complete team of 4 was missing from the field. The new Archer General was continually claiming that the missing team was Atlantian’s but I assured him that all of our primaries were accounted for and actually shooting on the field. What really upsets me still is that our 4 alternates could have stepped in and shot but were not asked until after lunch when the roving range was already torn down and the only remaining targets were the walk-up and friend/foe. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I sat down with the Archer General yesterday to discuss this mistake and I think I understand what happened now. Aethelmaerc never had all 20 slots filled with 4 alternates as he told me again and again. There was never any roster made as I had worked from the first day of practice. I was instructed that I needed to carry those from North Shield, Trimaris and Meridies. I did just that and the other 5 members of our team were comprised of those individuals but the morning of the shoot he counted 4 of them even though they were in line in our teams. On top of that he only had 1 alternate to give when required. So long story short, the Allies lost by roughly 206 points that could have been shot by our alternate team members. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So next year no matter who we are allied with, I press my counterpart much harder to assure they are on top of things. I want to thank everyone again who participated, I really enjoyed shooting with you all and I can say that Atlantia brought it’s “A” game as usual! I also noted a few things that we only have 9 sash’s now and need more to complete a team of 20. Also now that I am apprenticed in metal working and pewter casting, I will make up some tokens of my thanks for this year’s team members and next.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In Service,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>THL Janyn Fletcher<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
