I have never gotten my ass kicked in any competition.  Why?  Because I'm not
competing.  Even when I do submit an IKAC score it's not to better the
Kingdom's place.  I shoot Royal Rounds so I can have a guage of my progress
against the last time.  I submit them and get a guage of my progress against
the other archers in the kingdom.

If I ever cared how I was shooting against archers in other Kingdom's I
might shoot and submit more IKACs.  I don't care so I don't submit or shoot
many IKACs.

I keep RR scores so I can keep track of my progress.  I submit my scores so
I can guage myself against my peers.  Fearghus is my peer,  Ironworm is my
peer, Eadric, Iaen, and dozens of other know what it is to stand in the
Ansteorran heat and shoot. What it is to be an Ansteorran Archer.  I really
don't care what other archers in other kingdoms are shooting for scores.
