Ok, if that's how you want to read it. That's great. Have a nice day and
drive on.  However, the folks who have run the competition for the last 12
years have had no problem with it.  It's the "otherwise, official events are
all those announced in the appropriate Kingdom or local newsletter)." that
let's in the pink bunny rabbits.

The Society is anything but standardized.  Each Kingdom puts its own little
twist on things.  That's why the rules have four lane highways in them.  All
combat legal arrows are useable, God bless Lohac.

To the best of my knowledge, our insurance is for property damage only.
Whoopee.  And of course we have our nifty membership cards that says I
voluntarily accept any risks involved.  I laminated mine so I could use it
to plug a sucking chest wound should the need arise.

OK,  I don't wanna rules monger but I don't think if the are not events that
the Society would count as official then they don't count for IKAC or RR.

>From the IKAC rules:

"The competition may be shot at any official Kingdom or local event (regular
practice sessions which are periodically announced in the appropriate
newsletter count as official events--otherwise, official events are all
those announced in the appropriate Kingdom or local newsletter)."

I read that to say Official Kingdom or Official Local events.  It cant be an
official local event unless it meets both the societies guidelines and our
kingdoms guidelines for event requirements. Wilim has already pointed out
what the Society considers a local event but basically they are

1.  They must be announced in an official newsletter
2.  The local seneschal must be informed of the event.
3.  A warranted officer must be present.
     (this is why ALL archery marshals appear on the roster warrant)

Here is precisely what Ansteorran law says.

ARTICLE V: KINGDOM EVENTS
Section l: Events

1. All events shall meet at least the minimum requirements specified in
Corpora II.A .

2. Every Event of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. shall have an
autocrat "steward" or coordinating autocrat "coordinating steward" whose
name, address, and telephone number will be advertised with the event
announcement, or shall be the responsibility of an officer of the sponsoring
group, whose name, address, and telephone number are printed in the same
newsletter in which the event announcement appears. The autocrat shall be
acceptable to the Crown and the seneschal, and shall be warranted as a
deputy seneschal for a period needed to exercise the duties of autocrat. An
autocrat "steward" must meet the membership requirements for the office of
seneschal.

3. There shall be three classes of "Society Events" in the Kingdom of
Ansteorra.

     1. A Kingdom Calendar Event shall be defined as a gathering sponsored
by an officially recognized branch of the Kingdom which is listed in advance
on the Official Kingdom Calendar of Events in the Kingdom newsletter, and
for which the date, time, and place have been published, for free, in
advance in the Kingdom newsletter, and which has one or more duly warranted
officers present and responsible for the conduct of the event.
     2. A Regional Calendar Event shall be defined as a gathering sponsored
by three or more officially recognized branches of the Kingdom which is
listed in advance on the Official Kingdom Calendar of Events in the Kingdom
newsletter, and for which the date, time, and place have been published, for
free, in advance in the Kingdom newsletter, and which has one or more duly
warranted officers present and responsible for the conduct of the event.
     3. An Local Calendar Event shall be defined as a gathering sponsored by
an officially recognized branch of the Kingdom which is not listed on the
Official Kingdom Calendar of Events in the Kingdom newsletter but which has
been listed in advance in a newsletter of an officially recognized branch,
in which the date, time, and place have been published, and which has one or
more duly warranted officers of the sponsoring branch present and
responsible for the conduct of the event.

Insurance coverage is reason enough to make sure that every practice you
hold is what the Society and Ansteorra call an "official" event.
