I am very discouraged to note that the scores that I submitted back in the first half of February still have not been posted. Now I know that at least one of the gentles who shot an IKAC that day was doing so specifically for Gulf War Qualification. At this point he has at least one score that has not been submitted according to the current standings. I do not know if he has any others from any other location, but at this point I am extremely disturbed to see that there is no proof of his score being shot.<BR> <BR>While this special shoot was laudable in theory, I am concerned that there may be many, MANY people who should be eligible to shoot in this competition, who will not be permitted to. Until the scorekeeper can get his act together in a more timely manner, I would discourage utilizing this method again. The last update was on Feb 3. Now that it is less than a week before Gulf, I am sure that there are a lot of archers who are concerned about averages which are actually higher than shown or who, like our Barony, have scores that have not been included at all. How do we know if they will be included? How do we know if they are accurate and that all scores will be accounted for?<BR> <BR>Lyneya de Grey<BR> <BR><BR><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive">Well-behaved women Seldom make history - <FONT size=1>Laurel Thatcher Ulrich</FONT></FONT><BR><BR><PRE><HR width="90%" SIZE=4>
