[Ansteorra-archery] Gulf War IKAC submissions

[Eadric Anstapa]

Well if the scores were submitted then don't take any crap from the 
archers just because the IKAC web pages haven't been updated.  Have them 
contact the IKAC Keeper.

When you email the scores to the IKAC Keeper you can also Carbon Copy  
ansteorra.rr at gmail.com and I will will archive those scores and serve as 
witness that they were indeed submitted to the IKAC Keeper.  It's 
important that the email be addressed to the IKAC Keeper and 
ansteorra.rr  on the CC: because that way I can see for sure that the 
scores were indeed submitted and are then the responsibility of the IKAC 
keeper.

It's also important to remember that the IKAC is a privately sponsored 
competition.  No marshal can be forced to submit the IKAC scores for the 
archer.  The supervising marshal that witnessed the shooting has to have 
their name and contact information on the scoresheets when it is 
submitted so that the Keeper can ask  them questions if needed, but it 
is not a requirement that marshal know a damn thing about the the IKAC 
or that the marshal  submit the scores.

If you tell the archer that you will submit the scores for them, and 
then you do so promptly and properly, then you have done your job and 
even gone beyond what is actually required of you.  If there are 
problems the archer can take it up with the Keeper afterwards.

Regards,
