<DIV><FONT face=Arial>greetings </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>not to change your mind , but to correct some of the
observations ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman">Partially it is
fun to watch people beat on each <BR>other:-) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>oh, like high school ,, now i see .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman">They have areas
set up for <BR>spectators,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>nope , participants and those wishing to watch set up
their own pavilions , unless your speaking of the baronial / kingdom pavilions
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"> they have heralds
announcing who is fighting, who is <BR>winning, what is happening, and who won,
so it is to follow,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>would be nice , but most of the hearalds this far
north want to herald the heavy / rapier fields .so you better grab and bribe
your prospective herald early ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman">they even <BR>have
some refreshments</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>again , nope , they get the same refreshments everyone
else gets , just lots more of them and people to serve them . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>but having our own is a very good idea ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>><FONT face="Times New Roman">I <BR>would really hate
to think that someone that gets beat over the head all <BR>the time has been out
thinking me:-)</FONT><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial>now ,now , vincenti , you
should know by now , not to give me straight lines like that 8 )~~</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>now for a couple you left out ..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>make the range more eye appealing , ( like eldern's poles
and flags ) , or one i like , have little shield shaped banners with all of you
past champions devices drawn on them , and hung from the safety ropes , if you
don't have enough to fill the line, make blanks and fill them in later ;
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>have a dedicated " wagon " driving people to and from the
ranges , with room for pavillions, chairs, coolers , etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>set up your pavillions near the ranges with extra
chairs for spectators .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>design and advertise your tourneys , so that they attract
attention . ( ikac and royals are for practices and before or after tourneys )
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>you might be surprised at how many people come to watch if
it sounds interesting enough .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>><FONT face="Times New Roman">For TW what about having
more than one target and more than one thrower <BR>at a time? It seems that
every event I have been at there is always only <BR>one at a
time.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>your biggest problems there are going to be , each
thrower needs his / her own marshal , all throwers would have to be throwing at
the same time , and there would have to be safety range adjustments ,
</FONT><FONT face=Arial>so for the most part , you have the same problems in ta
as you do in tw , you have to plan an interesting throw or shoot , and plan it
to keep moving , its the dead time will be called boring ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>a boring tourney is a boring tourney , weather its on the
heavy field or the archery range .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>personaly, i would like to start getting together at
events with both tw and ta marshals so that maybe we can plan some more
interesting shoots / throws .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>does this sound doable ??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>><FONT face="Times New Roman">The more we help each
other and the more that we build these events the <BR>bigger and better they can
be!</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>we need to have this pretty much worked out very soon
, if june is gonna fly on its own ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>be safe, be happy, have fun</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Ansteorra-archery] How to
increase TA, TW, and CA</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I am sure some of you have already thought about some of these
things <BR>but I am sure that others have not thought about them so for those
of <BR>you who have already thought of some of these things perhaps you will
be <BR>able to provide some great insight on things that can be done. I have a
<BR>marketing background and tend to watch and observe things and try to
<BR>figure out why some things work better than others.<BR><BR>What I have
seen is that one of the hold-backs for CA, TW, and TA is <BR>that honestly
they are very un-spectator friendly at the events that I <BR>have been to. I
have seen the Chivalric fighters and they draw a good <BR>crowd but why do
they? Partially it is fun to watch people beat on each <BR>other:-) But there
are some other things. They have areas set up for <BR>spectators, they have
heralds announcing who is fighting, who is <BR>winning, what is happening, and
who won, so it is to follow, they even <BR>have some refreshments. Is it
really that they have a better event or <BR>have they just been out-thinking
us or just been doing it longer? I <BR>would really hate to think that someone
that gets beat over the head all <BR>the time has been out thinking
me:-)<BR><BR>In Namron we have already started working with some of these
ideas and <BR>we are going to be doing even more of them and seeing how they
work for <BR>us too. Does anyone have any ideas of specific things that they
have <BR>done or tried that worked really well (or really bad) that they could
<BR>share with the rest of the group?<BR><BR>Here in Namron we have already
started working at having refreshments <BR>for people at the archery area, we
are talking about trying some <BR>heralding and making sure that we have an
area setup for spectators so <BR>that they can see what is happening. For the
shooters we are discussing <BR>having some site tokens that they receive when
they have their equipment <BR>inspected.<BR><BR>For TW what about having more
than one target and more than one thrower <BR>at a time? It seems that every
event I have been at there is always only <BR>one at a time.<BR><BR>The more
we help each other and the more that we build these events the <BR>bigger and
better they can be!<BR><BR>YIS,<BR><BR>Vincenti da
