> Greetings everyone and welcome to a brand new season
> of the IKAC/IKCAC!
>
> As previously announced, the new season of the
> IKAC/IKCAC started today, on 1 February. It will end
> on 1 December.
>
> Along with the date, there are several significant
> changes to the IKAC and IKCAC. Please check the new
> rules, available at:
>
> http://detommaso.org/ikac/ikcak/ikcac-rules.html
> http://detommaso.org/ikac/ikac/ikac-rules.html
>
> The following quickly summarizes the major changes:
>
> - IKAC/IKCAC: Earlier starting date.
> - IKAC/IKCAC: Membership requirement has been dropped.
> - IKAC/IKCAC: Score breakdown must be included in
> score submission.
> - IKAC/IKCAC: One month deadline to confirm validity
> of scores by archer, unless arrangements made with
> Keeper.
> - IKAC only: new Children division, open to children
> 13 and under at distances of 10,15,20 yards.
> - IKAC only: Period Crossbow Division now the average
> of top three archers from each Kingdom, like all other
> divisions.
> - IKCAC only: New, shorter distances. All distances
> have been reduced by 10 yards.
> - IKCAC only: Pavise round - both speed and regular
> ends shot at the same distance.
> - IKCAC only: Pavise round allows in the speed end the
> archer to kneel and lean around pavise, if he/she so
> prefers, instead of kneeling and standing only.
> Kneeling and standing is still allowed.
> - IKCAC only: Arrow type (head type, shaft type, APD
> type) must be reported for score to count. A quick
> word about this: I have received countless suggestions
> to allow or disallow a particular type of ammunition.
> At this time I do not have enough data about who is
> shooting what and how it affects scores to make any
> kind of intelligent decision. Hence the requirement to
> report it for this year, so that I can collect some
> data and look at score correlation. The type of
> ammunition reported will be shown on the web site
> reports (not on the newsletter reports)
>
> Please take the time to read through the rules. There
> are lots of little word changes here and there. All
> these rule changes are the result of suggestions from
> many of you, and I thank you for taking the time and
> the initiative to send me your ideas. I have included
> as many of them in this year's rules as I could. The
> IKAC/IKCAC is not my competition, but yours. It is
> hoped that these changes will make the competition
> even more fun for everyone. Please continue to send me
> your suggestions during this coming year.
>
> A quick note about the web site. The earlier start of
> the season has meant that I haven't had a chance to
> post a variety of things that have been in the works.
> However, they will be up within a week. These include
> brand new Excel spreadsheet with automated, drop-down
> lists that minimize the data entry required, and a new
> report that shows up-to-the-minute kingdom standings.
> The "Top Score" page still reflects the final scores
> from last season. It will show new scores by this time
> next week.
>
> Once again, I thank you for all your support and
> suggestions last year. Please, keep them coming!
>
> Shoot well!!
