Well over a thousand scores were received this year
again. As usual, I would like to thank everyone who
participated in the IKAC/IKCAC competition. I also
would like to thank those who bore with me during this
most difficult year for me. I am truly thankful for
your support and patience.
I will be in contact with those of you who have won
medallions. As usual, I would prefer that the
medallions be awarded by the Kingdom Archery Marshal
at an appropriate venue, so if you are a Kingdom
marshal for a winning Kingdom, and you are interested
in giving out the medallions for your Kingdom, please
drop me an email at ikac@detommaso.org
- Winning
archers, please also contact me with your snail-mail
address at the email address above. I will let you
know if your Kingdom Officer has asked for the
medallions, otherwise I will send them to you
directly.
Next year is already upon us. There will be no major
changes, but there will be some minor changes.
Specifically, I will be adopting an idea from Gilbert
Ost Westley, and creating a Youth Division that will
cover the minors that are between 14 and 18, and
therefore too old for the Children Division, and could
be considered too young for the regular division. The
rules and distances for the Youth division will be the
same as for the Open division. Since it's a new
division and we don't know how many archers will
participate, next year we will count the top three
archers regardless of Kingdom for medallions in that
division, vs. the top Kingdom. If participation is
high enough, then the year after we will do like in
the Children division, and set it up like the other
divisions. I will post updated spreadsheets that will
include the Youth division in the dropdown lists in
the next week or two. In the meantime, if you send a
score in for this division, please indicate it next to
the name.
To make life easier for the Kingdom Chroniclers, for
whom space is always at a premium, and who generously
give up some space on their newsletters to the IKAC on
a semi-monthly basis, I will only report the Children
and Youth division scores on the Internet.
Finally, I note with distress the lack of scores from
ATENVELDT this past couple of years. Archers in
Atenveldt used to be great supporters of the IKAC, and
I fondly remember my own experience (too many years
ago, when I was starting out) of shooting the IKAC at
Estrella for the Known World Archery Competition, and
meeting Sir Jon. The great experience of shooting the
IKAC at Estrella with Atenveldt archers always made me
enjoy the IKAC, and it pushed me to become Keeper of
the IKAC when the opportunity came. So if you are from
Atenveldt, or Aethelmearc (who also has great archers
and great people, many of whom I know personally, but
was very lightly represented this year in the IKAC),
and there is something I can do to encourage scores
from your archers, please let me know. If you are
going to Estrella, (I wish I was going with you :) )
and you shoot an IKAC, please send it in. Same is
valid for all the major wars that occur during the
season.
Finally, I appreciate the input of all the archers
that participate in the IKAC. If you have ideas or
suggestions, please continue to send them in, and I
will do everything I can to make them happen.
Shoot well!
- Lorenzo
