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. <br>
<br>
<font color="#000099">What the current scores website says is: <br>
</font>
<blockquote><font color="#000099">"<i>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.</i>"
<br>
</font></blockquote>
<font color="#000099">The old web pages said something extremely
similar:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font color="#000099">"<i>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.</i>"</font><br>
</blockquote>
<font color="#000099">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.<br>
</font><br>
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. <br>
<br>
<font color="#000099">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.</font><br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
<font color="#000099">The only <u>lists</u> 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.</font><br>

<div id="yiv1531211364">Do those archers have three scores shot
within the past year? <br>
<br>
Do they have at least one shot away from their home branch or practice
from within the past year?<br>
<br>
Since the beginning of the Ansteorran Royal Rounds to have an official
average both of those conditions have to be met.<br>
