GREETINGS


>Gilli  ASK ..
>Why should a score expire?

ACCORDING TO THE POSTED RULES FOR THE ANSTEORRAN ROYAL ROUNDS ,
"  AN ARCHERS RANK IS DETERMINED BY THE AVERAGE OF THE THREE HIGHEST ROYAL
ROUND SCORES RECORDED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR WITHIN EACH DIVISION . "

SO THEORETICALLY IF THE POSTED SCORES REFLECTED THIS ,
THE SCORES WOULD SHOW HOW WELL ( OR POORLY ) YOU ARE DOING THIS YEAR ,
NOT OVER YOUR LIFETIME OF SHOOTING ROYAL ROUNDS  .

THE BEST EXAMPLE I CAN SEE , IS SOMEONE SHOOTS MORE X-BOW THAN OPEN BOW LAST
YEAR ,
AND WAS AT FORESTER WITH THE X-BOW AND YEOMAN WITH THE RECURVE .

BUT THIS YEAR DECIDES TO SHOOT MORE WITH THE RECURVE ,IN ORDER TO IMPROVE
HIS OPEN SCORE . SAY HE EARNS HIS FORESTER IN OPEN BOW , BUT DUE TO LESS
PRACTICE AND FEWER SCORES TURNED IN HE ONLY AVERAGES BOWMAN IN X-BOW.

HE COULD TRY TO IMPRESS EVERYONE BY WEARING BOTH RED TASSELS .
BUT HONESTLY , BY THE RULES , HE SHOULD ONLY BE WEARING THE RED TASSEL /
BLUE KNOT,
AND THE BLACK TASSEL / RED KNOT.

WHEN I GET ALL MY EQUIPMENT BACK ( IT'S BEING REPAIRED BY PEOPLE THAT KNOW
MUCH MORE THAN I DO ON THE SUBJECT )  I WILL BE SHOOTING IN EVERYTHING
EXCEPT THE CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH DIV'S  .
SO I WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT MY SCORES ARE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE
PROPER TASSELS EVERY YEAR .
AS WELL AS TRY TO GET ENOUGH PRACTICE IN TO MAINTAIN OTHER SCORES WHEN
SWITCHING PRIMARY WEAPONS .

AT LEAST THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON WHY SCORES MUST EXPIRE ,
AND MAY HAVE NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL REASONS ...

BE SAFE, BE HAPPY, HAVE FUN
