Im not at all encouraged by what Im reading, but lets see what happens. Here is the wording I received from the Archer General of the Mid. Sounds like everyone might have to try out for slots this year on team.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Glad to hear from you! Well, let me put it this way- Midrealm split my job into 3 people.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>2 are under the War general - Deputy General for Pennsic War - Target Archery and Target making.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>I am still retaining as Pennsic Archery Marshal only. Only involved in Archery Marshal activities not required for war point.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>However - Edward Thorne is now in charge of Champions. Hopefully he will be having open try-outs as I did last year. It worked well for me. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>It was the first time we had over 70 people trying out. We need a 50 person team. 40 shooters, 10 alts. That is NOT changing.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>I can probably guarantee that at least 2 of your top shooters and others, but have NO idea, as he is not consulting either Grant or myself. (Which will be a problem, as I am supposed to be the<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>interface.) I will try to notify him (his phone number is around her<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>somewhere) and ask for you. What I did was guarantee 2, and let any of the others try for the other 30plus positions that are open. (I had the Kingdom and Regional Champions of Midrealm given a slot, to pump up Archery in the Midrealm).<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>Janyn<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"'>“Those who stand for nothing, will fall for anything!” –Alexander Hamilton<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
