[Ansteorra-archery] Third Quarter 2008 Royal Round Keeper Report

[jack spinks]

No argument.  Thanks for the clarification.  I missed the statement when I was looking although I thought that was the gist of it.  And it is an excellent improvement over the old system but I have a student and several beginning friends I also wish to keep track of hence my questions when I had to dig the info out. 
 
I am trying to get a couple of them to attend an event and this may be a good way to encourage them to do so.

Cannot say if archers have shot an away score or not.  Most have probably not but I am not speaking of the averages although I do not remember that detail of calculation being listed on the website with regard to the averages. 

What the current scores website says is: 

"An Archers rank is determined by the official average of the three highest Royal Round scores recorded within the past year within each division. To promote travel, interaction with other archers, and cross-pollination of archery ideas, to earn an official average an Archer must record scores from events or practices held in two different SCA groups within the year period that is being averaged. If an archer has not recorded scores from events or practices from at least two different branches then they will not show up on the current list of official averages." 
The old web pages said something extremely similar:

"An Archers rank is determined by the average of the three highest Royal Round scores recorded within the past year within each division. To earn an official average or rank an Archer must record at least one score a year outside of their normal home shooting area. The scores will be checked to see that within the year period that the archer has recorded scores from events or practices hosted by at least two different branches."
If ya look online at the the AoB proceedings from April 2002 when the Royal Rounds were introduced to Ansteorra you will see similar words.

I just noted that none of the steppes archer scores are listed under the Steppes heading.  The only way we can compare our scores locally is by looking up the individual archers score by name.   

You are correct, if an archer has not achieved an official average the only way to compare the scores of those archers that have no official averages (local or not) is to look up the individual archers.   That is because the purpose of  these rounds is not for comparison between archers.  This is NOT a competition.  The purpose of the Royal Rounds is for an individual archer to track their own progress and I think this new system allows them to do that extremely well.

I assume from your comment that until an archer has at least one away score none of their scores will be listed under their local group?

The only lists generated are for those archers who have have current official averages.  So if an archer does not have an official average they will not appear on a list and they will have to look up their individual records.

Do those archers have three scores shot within the past year?  

Do they have at least one shot away from their home branch or practice from within the past year?

Since the beginning of the Ansteorran Royal Rounds to have an official average both of those conditions have to be met.
