Greetings and Hi There,

Here are the rules I will be using in my class.

XXIII Annual Interkingdom Archery Competition
Updated 3/1/2001
by Lorenzo il Confuso, Keeper of the Interkingdom Archery Competition

The IKAC consists of four divisions: Open, Open/Crossbow, Period and
Period/Crossbow. The starting date is April 1 and the ending date is
December 1. However, to allow for reversed seasons in the Southern
hemisphere, the dates are December 1 to September 1.
Prizes will be given in each division to the top three archers of the
winning Kingdom, except in the Period/Crossbow division , where prizes will
be given to the top three archers of the Known World (from any Kingdoms). It
is my goal to give medallion to the top three archers of each Kingdom,
although the modalities for this have not been finalized at this point (they
should be soon). It is further hoped that each Kingdom will encourage the
efforts of their archers by awarding further recognition. The final scores
as well as the monthly will be sent to the Kingdom newsletters.

THE ROUNDS:

The IKAC consists of six-rounds: three regular target rounds of two ends of
six arrows each (at 20, 30 and 40 yards) and three speed rounds at the same
distances. The distances must be measured out, not paced.

TIME LIMITS:

The regular ends of the Open and Period divisions shall have a limit 90
seconds. The crossbow division has a 120 second time limit. Each speed round
is to be shot in two ends of 30 seconds and as many arrows as can be loosed
in that time, for a total of 60 seconds and an indeterminate number of
arrows per round.

The archers may begin drawn and aimed, to release upon command. The use of a
tape recorder with a recording of the thirty second count-down is permitted
for timing the ends. In shooting a speed end, you MUST draw your own arrows,
NO ONE may hand them to you. If an arrow is in flight at the end of 30
seconds it will be counted.

EQUIPMENT:

No archer may use any post 1600 material or technique that gives an unfair
advantage to the user. Recurves or longbows of any material are allowed,
this includes solid fiberglass and fiberglass and wood bows. Compound bows
are not allowed. Bows with cut out risers (which allow you to see through
the riser from the side) must have the riser openings covered with cloth,
leather, etc., so as to present a solid surface and an appearance more in
keeping with medieval archery. No stabilizers or balance bars, no non-period
string releases, no kissers, no clickers, no working Berger buttons, no bow
quivers, no form of string walking and no bow sights except as stated in the
Open/Crossbow division or simple limb marks in the Open. Feather fletched
wooden arrows are required. Broadheads are not allowed. Equipment must
conform to the spirit of medieval archery.

GENERAL RULES:

Archers may compete in all divisions. Archers may shoot both recurve and
longbow in the Open division and enter the Period division separately. If
you shoot a period style bow, you must shoot separately in Open and Period
to enter a score for both divisions. Crossbows, both modern and period, may
shoot only in the crossbow divisions.

All competing archers are required to hold SCA Membership. Status may be
confirmed with the Registry. 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). Major events, such as Estrella War, or major local events, that
are held before April 1, may be granted official scoring if requested well
in advance in writing.

Archers may shoot for official score at as many competitions as they can
attend, and may shoot for official score, in each division, once each day of
a multi-day event. Archers may shoot more than once in a particular division
per day, but only their top complete round of that day will be officially
counted. Shooting need not be continuous (it may stop between ends as
conditions require), but must be completed the same day to be counted.

There must be at least two people present at any shooting of the competition
for the scores to be official. This means a minimum of an Archer-in Charge
and one shooting archer or two shooting archers, one acting as
Archer-in-Charge.

In setting up and shooting the IKAC, all necessary precautions should be
taken to insure the safety of all archers and bystanders. Any archer using a
technique which could be a safety hazard to their self or to others, such as
shooting two or more arrows at one time, must prove to the satisfaction of
the Archer-in Charge their ability to use the technique safely.

HANDICAPPED ARCHERS:

Upon the judgment of the archer in charge allowance may be made for various
disabilities. For example, visually impaired archers may have someone tell
them where their arrows strike the target. Archers in wheelchairs may shoot
while seated. Archers unable to cock their crossbows may have someone cock
it for them, etc.

SCORING:The open division target is a 60 cm, five color face.

For the Open and Crossbow divisions scoring is: Gold=5, Red=4, Blue=3,
Black=2, White=1. Lines count as the higher score. Arrows passing through,
falling out, or bouncing off the target face count as three points. Scoring
is on the honor system: you may count and record your own score, our
fighting is based on honor and so is our archery. The winning Kingdom will
be determined by averaging the highest scores of the three top-scoring
archers for each Kingdom. In the case of a tie, the Kingdom with the
narrowest point spread will be declared the winner. Scores must be
postmarked within thirty days of being shot to be counted as official. The
final scores must be received in writing by me no later than December 31st.
The results of each competition should be sent as soon as possible after
they are shot, so they may be tabulated and each months scores sent out to
the Kingdom newsletters. The results sent in must include: Name of event,
date, place, Archer-in Charge's name, address and phone number, archers'
names, scores by end, round and total, type and weight of bow e.g. recurve,
longbow or crossbow (crossbows should be listed as either modern or period
style), and division. When the division (Open, Period or Crossbow) is not
included the score can not be counted. Information must be typed or printed
clearly. You should send copies of the scores to me and to your Kingdom
archery officer and save a copy for your files. Scores may be sent by
e-mail.

DIVISIONS

OPEN:

In the Open division, recurves and longbows, both period and modern, may
compete by the standard IKAC rules. There is no poundage limit. The rounds
and general rules are the same for all divisions.

OPEN/CROSSBOW DIVISION:

Both modern and period style crossbows may compete in the Open/Crossbow
division. Crossbows may compete only in the crossbow divisions.

No compound crossbows. Open or peep sights, both front and rear, are
allowed. But, optical sights are not allowed. There is no minimum or maximum
weight for the prod. The bolts are to be wood with feather fletch, plastic
nocks are allowed. The prod may be of any material. Any type of lock
mechanism is allowed. The crossbow may be shot from any position. But the
crossbow may be held only by the hands, not on sandbags, etc. Slings are not
allowed for shooting, but may be used to carry the crossbow.

There is no limit to the number of bolts that may be shot in the speed ends.
The target and scoring are the same as in the Open division.

PERIOD DIVISION:

The main intent of the Period division is to encourage the use and
construction of gear with a more period appearance in our SCA archery.
Period style longbows or recurves may still be shot in the Open division as
well.

PERIOD DIVISION EQUIPMENT

ARROWS:

Wood shafts of any wood, cane or bamboo are allowed. Fletching must be of
feathers. Except for crossbows, which may use other materials used in period
for bolts, such as parchment, etc. Crossbows may use either period style
bolts or cut down wood arrow shafts. Points may be of any style except for
broadheads.

Nocks must be self, reinforced or built up (no plastic nocks). Reinforcing
or build up materials may include: horn, bone, ivory, leather, hardwood or
other natural materials used in period. Crossbow bolts may use metal for
reinforcement.

BOWS:

Period style recurves and longbows of any material are allowed. Modern style
recurves or longbows with full or partial center cut risers are not allowed.
There is no weight limit, maximum or minimum. Crossbows will shoot only in
the crossbow divisions.

Period style bows are defined as: Any style of bow that can be documented as
used in pre 1600 archery, from Stone age bows to English longbows.
Construction materials should be mainly those that were used in period for
the making of that style of bow. Modern materials such as synthetic glues,
finishes, fibers (strings) or artificial sinew are allowed as long as their
use does not give an unfair advantage in performance over period materials.
Fiberglass may be used as a substitute for horn and or sinew in the
construction of period style recurve bows such as Arab, Turkish, Mongol,
etc., but no modern features such as full or partial center cut handles are
allowed. The bow must have the appearance of a period laminate bow.
Composite longbows (of different woods or backed with sinew or rawhide,
etc.) are allowed. When in keeping with the style of bow, grips may be made
narrower than bow limbs. Bows do not have to conform to the persona of the
archer.

BOW KITS:

Bows made from kits where the archer does the final tillering and finishing
count as having made the entire bow. Laminate bows where the archer does the
final assembling and tillering count. Crossbows where the archer does the
final assembly and tuning count.

RELEASE AIDS:

Archers may use any period style release appropriate for their bow, but are
not required to do so. For example, an archer may use a glove or tab instead
of a thumb ring while shooting an Eastern style bow.

STRINGS:

Modern string materials are allowed, as well as period materials.

ARROW RESTS:

Non period arrow rests are not allowed. Built in full or partial windows are
not allowed.

NOCKING POINTS:

Non period nocking points are not allowed.

SIGHTS:

Placement of sighting marks on bow limbs is not allowed. Sighting marks may
not be placed on the ground (Ascham did not approve of this practice and
neither do I).

TARGET:

The five color 60 cm. target may be used for the period division.

The standard five color 60 cm. IKAC target may be used, except that the
scoring is different. The scoring is: White through blue = 2 points, red and
outer gold = 4 points, inner gold = 8 points. Scores for the Royal Round,
Open and Period divisions may be shot and recorded on the five color face.

PERIOD FACE:

The period division target is a 60 cm. three color face.

Those archers wishing to shoot a more period looking target are encouraged
to make and use the period face. The target is based on the one from the
Luttrell Psalter. The target represents a two ring target with a center peg.
The peg was used to hold the target to the butt. Splitting the peg or pin
was the best shot, so those arrows hitting dead center score highest. The
colors are from the inner ring or peg to outer ring: Or, Vert, and Argent.
It is scored: Argent=2, Vert=4 and Or=8. Four points are given for a pass
through or bounce off.

The target face is equal in size to the current five ring, 60 cm. target now
in use for the IKAC. The target may be made by hand by using a compass. The
diameters of the rings are 6 cm., 24 cm. and 60 cm. The black line between
the rings may be no wider than 2 mm. Yellow may be substituted for the gold
and white for the silver. The vert should be a dark green. The back side of
a 60 cm., five color target may be used by carefully tracing the rings.

GENERAL RULES:

The general rules are the same as for the Open division.

PERIOD/CROSSBOW DIVISION:

Only period style crossbows may compete in this division. Crossbows may
compete only in the crossbow divisions.

To be counted as a period style crossbow all the following conditions must
be met: 1) The stock must be made of wood. 2) It may not have a rifle style
butt. 3) It may not have a modern style lock (some forms of self stopping
nuts are in period, however) or a trigger. 4) It may not have sights.

The prod may be of any material and there is no minimum or maximum weight
for the prod. The nut in the lock mechanism may be of any material. The
string may be of any material.

Bolts may be of any wood and are to be fletched with feathers, parchment or
other period materials. There may be from two to four fletches. Nocks shall
be self or reinforced (no plastic nocks).

The crossbow may be shot from any position. But the crossbow may be held
only by the hands, not on a sandbag, etc. Slings are not allowed for
shooting, but may be used to carry the crossbow.

The target and scoring are the same as in the Period division. There is no
limit to the number arrows in the speed ends.

Due to the small number of archers shooting period style crossbow at this
time, the winners of the Period/Crossbow division will be the top three
archers with the highest scores in the Known World. This will be in effect
until there are enough period crossbow scores to go back to the standard
practice of the top three archers from the winning Kingdom.

  XIII Annual Interkingdom Combat Archery Competition
Updated 3/1/2001
by Lorenzo il Confuso, Keeper of the Interkingdom Archery Competition

The Interkingdom Combat Archery Competition is a target competition shot
with combat gear, which provides the combat archer of the SCA with an
opportunity to compete with other archers from all Kingdoms of the Known
World. It also provides an SCA wide standard of comparison for combat
archery skills.
The IKCAC, like the IKAC, is won by the Kingdom with the highest average
score for their top three archers. These top three combat archers will be
awarded IKCAC prizes. It is my goal to be able to award medallions for the
top three combat archers from each Kingdom (I am currently working on the
details).

It is hoped that both Kingdoms and individuals will help support combat
archery in each Kingdom, by providing additional awards for the winning
three archers from their Kingdom, in addition to the prizes for the SCA wide
winning trio.

GENERAL RULES:

The competition starts April 1, and ends December 1. The dates for the
Southern hemisphere have been adjusted, and the competition will start there
on December 1, and end on September 1.

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 those
duly announced in the appropriate Kingdom or Principality newsletter). Major
events, such as Estrella War, or major local events, that are held before
April 1, may be granted official scoring if requested in writing well in
advance. Archers may shoot for official score at as many competitions as
they can attend, and may shoot for official score once each day of a
multi-day event. Archers may shoot more than once in a particular division
per day, but only their top complete round of that day will be officially
counted. Shooting need not be continuous (it may stop between ends as
conditions require), but must be completed the same day in order to be
counted. In order to be official, at least two people must be present at
each shooting, one acting as the Archer-in-Charge. The Archer-in-Charge may
or may not shoot.

In setting up and shooting the IKCAC, the officiating archer must take all
necessary precautions to insure the safety of all archers and bystanders.
Any archer using a technique which could be a safety hazard, such as
shooting two or more arrows at one time, must satisfy the Archer-in-Charge
that he or she is able to use the technique safely.

Scores must be postmarked within thirty days after they are shot, to be
counted as official. The final score must be received by me, in writing, no
later than December 31st. The results of each competition should be sent as
soon as possible after they are shot, so they may be tabulated and each
month's scores sent out to the Kingdom newsletters. The results must
include: Name of event, date, and place; name, address and phone number of
Archer-in-Charge; archers' names and scores by end, round and total; and
type and weight of bow. Information must be typed or printed clearly, if I
can not read your score it might not be counted. You should send copies of
the scores to me and to your Kingdom archery officer, and save a copy for
your files.

Any other information about the competition and archery in your area will be
greatly appreciated.

Archers shooting for official score must be SCA members. Status may be
confirmed with the Registry. In the case of a tie, the Kingdom with the
narrowest point spread shall be declared the winner.

EQUIPMENT RULES:

All protective gear, bows and combat arrows must meet the minimum SCA
standards. Check with your Marshall if in doubt. All equipment must conform
to the spirit of medieval archery.

BOWS:

Bows shall not exceed 30 pounds at 28 inches of draw, except when using the
experimental "Golf Tube" arrows, in which case the bow shall not exceed the
SCA maximum poundage for golf tubes. These heavy bows are to be used only
with the golf tube arrows! To match the maximum poundage for golf tube hand
bows only the golf tube & ABD crossbows can be 600 to 1000 inch pounds.
Crossbows shooting wood or fiberglass shafts may not exceed 600 inch-pounds.
This is determined by multiplying the pull at the nut by the distance from
the string at rest, to the nut. For example, the pull (60 lb.) times draw
(10 inches) = 600 inch-pounds. This is the approximate power equivalent of a
30 lb. recurve or longbow. Those shooting crossbows must indicate on the
score sheet if they are shooting a period or contemporary style crossbow.
This should be noted in the same space as the archer's name and area. The
number of arrows shot in each speed end as well as the points must be listed
(ex: 22/6).

Compound bows are not allowed. Take-down bows with cut out risers (which
allow you to see through the riser from the side) must be covered with
cloth, leather, tape, etc., so as to present a solid surface and an
appearance more in keeping with Medieval archery. No center-shot crossbows.
Recurves or longbows of any material are allowed, this includes solid
fiberglass and fiberglass and wood laminates. No archer may use any post
1600 material or technique that gives an unfair advantage to the user. No
stabilizers or balance bars, no non-period string releases, no kissers, no
clickers, no Berger buttons, no bow quivers, no form of string walking and
no bow sights (except for crossbows which may have both front and rear
sights). Berger buttons must be either removed or locked down. However,
simple limb marks for sighting are allowed on recurves or longbows.

ARROWS:

Any type of SCA legal combat arrow may be used. Both feather fletch and
plastic vanes are allowed. A minimum of 12 arrows should be carried in a
quiver.

PROTECTIVE GEAR:

The archers must shoot while wearing at least the minimum protection
required by SCA rules for combat archery, except the requirements for groin
and kidney protection are waived. For the Pavise Round, where kneeling is
required, knee pads are strongly recommended.

SHOOTING TECHNIQUE:

Any period style of aiming from instinctive, to using marked bow limbs or
crossbow sights, is allowed. Any period technique, from the Eastern holding
of several arrows in the drawing hand or shooting two arrows at one time for
rapid shooting, to the bow and pike method of William Neade's Double-Armed
Man, are allowed, but documentation may be required in questionable cases.
Any archer using a technique which could be a safety hazard to their self or
to others must prove to the satisfaction of the Archer-in Charge their
ability to use the technique safely.

SCORE KEEPING:

Copies of the IKCAC score sheet should be used for recording scores. But, if
they are not available, any score sheet that includes all the required
information may be used. Save the attached score and record sheets and make
copies from them. Choose an archer to act as score-keeper or Marker. A
separate record sheet or card may be used for each archer, so long as the
final scores are recorded on the IKCAC score sheet.

Because the Marker will be in the vicinity of the target, he or she must
wear full protective gear when recording scores from the target side of the
shooting line. For the additional safety and comfort of the Marker, a pavise
or other form of cover, as well as a seat, may be provided near the target.

In order to approximate actual combat conditions, no one may inform the
archer where his arrows are striking, either hits or misses, for during
combat there would be no one to provide this information.

TIME LIMITS:

Each end has a maximum time limit. This is done to simulate some of the
pressure of combat. At the end of the time limit, "Hold" is called and
shooting stops and score is recorded. Any arrow in the air at "Hold" counts.
There is no penalty for not completing an end. Times must be measured with a
watch. You may use a tape recorded count down for timing ends.

DIVISIONS:

There is one division. Recurves, longbows and crossbows compete in the same
division.

THE TARGET:

The target is a free standing fighter-shaped plywood cut-out, six feet tall,
facing front. It has a hinged face and heart (see diagram) which are used as
high scoring areas. The movement of these areas is easily seen for scoring.
The target is supported by a brace and is also secured to the ground at the
base. The surface may be painted in any color or manner desired, except that
the face and heart must contrast with the surrounding areas. It may be
padded to reduce wear on arrows as long as the padding does not increase the
scoring area of the target (i.e. it should not wrap around the edges and
increase the width of the target). Closed cell foam, foam rubber or carpet
covered by heavy cloth, all make a good surface.

The arms and legs may be of one piece with the head and torso, or may be
separate and articulated for use in various positions (such as holding a
shield and weapon) for other contests. Making the target in sections
increases ease of transportation and storage. For durability use at least
5/8 inch plywood. The distances to the target must be measured, not paced.

SCORING ON SPEED ENDS:

The speed ends are intended to test an archer's ability to move rapidly,
nock fast, and shoot quickly, while maintaining accuracy. The time limit
provides some of the pressure of shooting under combat conditions. The
archer must draw their own arrows, no one may hand them to the archer. Any
archer who attempts to shoot slowly to gain more accuracy and a higher score
in the speed ends will have the score for that end voided and must re-shoot
it. If an honest effort to shoot for speed is not made, the score for that
end must be recorded as zero. The Archer-in-Charge of the event shall
determine when this rule is to be applied. This rule is not meant to be
applied to anyone with an injury or disability which prevents rapid
movement.

The time for both speed and regular rounds may be called in whatever manner
is decided by the Archer-in Charge, including use of a tape recorder, as
long as it is consistent and announced in advance to all the contestants.

In speed ends, any arrow in the air after the time limit shall be counted.

THE ROUNDS

SEQUENCE:

In order to more closely simulate combat conditions, the rounds must be shot
in order of range: longest first, with the speed ends last in each round.

THE UNDERHAND ROUND:

This round simulates shooting at a distant massed force. The term
"underhand" was used to indicate that the target is seen under the bowhand
when the archer is at full draw. Hence: shooting at long range. In this
case, the range is only fifty yards. The target is placed at the front
center of a nine foot wide by fifteen foot long rectangle. This represents
the target area presented by three files of fighters, three ranks deep.

In the regular end, the archer stands at the fifty yard mark and shoots
twelve arrows within a two minute time limit.

During the speed end, the archer starts drawn and aimed and shoots as many
arrows as possible within a sixty second time limit.

In scoring the Underhand Round, hits to the face or heart count as twelve
points, hits anywhere else on the target count as six points, and arrows
striking within the rectangle or on the lines count as four points. The
arrows do not have to stay within the area; they score even if they bounce
out (markers: take note).

The border lines must be clearly indicated so that the Marker can tell if an
arrow is in or out. One good method is to use a stake at each corner
connected with twine at ground level.

For this round, the Marker must be located near to the target area in order
to record scores accurately.

ARCHER'S CHOICE:

This round allows an archer to choose his or her range: either twenty,
thirty or forty yards. For in combat an archer often has to make the choice
between the sure shot at close range and the harder but more rewarding shot
at long range.

In the regular end there are twelve arrows and a two minute time limit. And
in the speed end, which is shot at the same distance as the regular, there
is a sixty second time limit and unlimited arrows.

In scoring this round hits at forty yards count for four points. Hits at
thirty yards count as three points. And hits at twenty count as two points.
Hits to the face or heart double the score for that distance.

PAVISE ROUND:

This round simulates the use of a pavise or similar protection while
shooting. An actual pavise is not required for this round, as the intent is
to put the archer through the movements needed to make use of cover of any
kind. Two stakes two and one half to three feet apart and about four feet
high can be driven into the ground and used to simulate the pavise. However,
if a pavise or other form of cover is used, it should be secured so that it
will not fall over, and it should not be so high that shorter archers are
unable to shoot over the top.

In the regular end, the pavise is set at twenty yards. The archer starts
kneeling directly behind the pavise with the arrow nocked. The archer should
be situated so no part of their body would be exposed to arrows shot from
the target. Upon the starting command, the archer leans out around either
side of the pavise, while kneeling, and shoots. Upon shooting, the archer
returns behind the pavise, nocks another arrow, leans out and shoots again.
This continues for a total of twelve arrows or two minutes. The archer
remains kneeling throughout the round.

In the speed end, the archer starts at fifteen yards in a kneeling position
behind the pavise with the arrow nocked. Upon the starting command, the
archer rises to a standing position, shoots one arrow and returns to a
kneeling position before again rising and shooting. This continues for a
total of sixty seconds and as many arrows as can be shot during that time.
One or both knees must touch the ground between each shot.

In the pavise round, hits to the face count as five points. Hits to the
heart count as three points. Hits anywhere else on the target count for two
points.

SETTING UP THE COMPETITION:

Try to set up the field so that the sun will be behind the archers' backs.

If possible use a natural backstop, such as a steep hill or embankment. If
this is not possible use old carpet, blanket, tarp, etc. hung between poles
on rope to stop the arrows that miss the target.

In order to encourage more people to shoot, you should have some protective
gear, bows and combat blunts on hand to loan.

When one archer is shooting inform the next archer to prepare, so there is
no time lost.

As many archers as possible should shoot each end before stopping to recover
arrows. They should pick up all arrows from the field and return them behind
the shooting line for sorting.

With large numbers of archers time can be saved by dividing them into two
groups at each target. One group shoots first, then when they are sorting
and examining their arrow the second group shoots.

If large numbers of archers are shooting, you should have enough targets set
up so that long waits can be avoided. If this is not possible, you should
have a sign-up list with shooting times, so that the archers do not have to
stand around waiting for a turn.

It is easier to run and score the competition with at least two officials at
each target. The Archer-in-Charge acting as Scorer, recording total scores
and calling time at the shooting line. And the Marker, recording hits at the
target.

Encourage the archers to experiment with different styles of aiming and
shooting techniques, as well as different types of combat arrows and methods
of carrying them.

I would be grateful for any further suggestions you have for ease in setting
up and running the competition.
