<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Royal Huntsman Tournament would not have been
in the December Black Star because the venue had not yet been chosen until well
after the submission deadline for the December Black Star.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An announcement is posted in the January Black Star
in my missive. I discovered at the last moment that with the myriad
of other things on their minds, TRH forgot to include it in their
missive and I was asked to announce it in the Black Star. You will find it
on page 11 of your January Black Star.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Likewise it was my understanding that the ad for
the event was already put to bed. I was/is my understanding that it would
(and will) be included on the event web page.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As soon as we get a final decision on
the tournament format we will post something more but as we have mentioned
here before expect to format to be an elimination style tournament with varied
rounds much like many of the other recent Royal Huntsman
Tournaments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lastly, it is pretty much ALWAYS a pain getting the
Royal Huntsman Tournament on the calendar. Since I have been KAM (and
often before) we have never had branches volunteer to host. I always have
to go out and start begging and find someone to host
the tournament. The tournament is not large enough to stand on
it's own so it must be tacked on with some other event and of course whatever
event it gets lumped in with must be able to accommodate an archery range.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Even when we do find a branch who are
willing to host the tournament, like all of the other royal champion
tournaments we must wait until the heirs are chosen and let them decide where
they want to choose their champions. This gives us very little time to get
the tournament announced. The winter RH tournament is particularly hard
because the holiday season (and winter in general) is full of indoor
feasting events most of which cant accommodate the large outdoor area needed for
an archery range.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wanna help? Start working/planning now to get your
branch to put in bids for upcoming Royal Huntsman tournaments and the
Academy of the Bow (likewise we have to go hunt down people to hold
AoB). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>greetings </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>i was wondering why the ansteorran royal huntsman
tourney is only advertised on the kingdom archery page ( under " news , notes,
and policy ) .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5> the dec. black star doesn't list it ,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>the kingdom calendar web page doesn't list
it , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>the event web page and blackstar ad don't mention
it ...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>( kingdom arts and sciences / ansteorran
tribute )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>seems it would attract more people if it
was better advertised ..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>is there anything we as marshals and archers can
do to spread the word more ???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>sorry if this stirs things up , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>but i personally enjoy shooting against the best
archers this kingdom has to offer ..( even if i don't win ;)
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=5>be safe , be happy, have fun </FONT></DIV>
