Final amendments to the rules for the 2007 Season of the IKAC/IKCAC
Dear fellow IKAC and IKCAC archers,
Below are the amendments that are made to the rules for the IKAC and IKCAC. These rules are in effect as of 1 April 2007. Scores that have already been received or have been shot prior to 1 April will be counted according to the previous rules.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the many archers that took the time to send their thoughts, comments and suggestions. The final rules are entirely a result of your input.
The full rules for the competition are posted at the IKAC/IKCAC website (http://www.detommaso.orgikac ) and can be viewed there. Please send any questions or comments to ikac@detommaso.org
Shoot well!

The following amendments to the IKAC rules are in effect for the 2007 season:
IKAC:
1) An IKAC has to be shot as one continuous shoot. An archer must declare when the IKAC is started, and must shoot each end until the IKAC shoot is completed.
2) The order of the ends is left to the archer or the Marshal, at the discretion of the Marshal, as long as each IKAC score is shot as one complete, uninterrupted shoot. For example, an archer may shoot two Royal Rounds back to back, and then shoot two 30-yard timed ends and two 40-yard timed ends to complete the IKAC shoot. The above scenario would be fine, as long as no other arrows are shot for any other reason during that time.
3) The archer may not pick and choose the best ends out of multiple shoots. Each shoot is a complete end-to-end exercise, where EACH arrow counts toward the final score
4) Once the start of an IKAC shoot has been declared, ALL arrows shot MUST be counted toward the score. Ranging shots and practice shots in between ends are specifically prohibited.
5) The archer may take a reasonable amount of time to complete a shoot, but no other arrows must be shot for ANY purpose (including another competition), once the archer has declared the start of his/her IKAC shoot. If that happens, that IKAC score cannot be counted.
6) The Keeper of the IKAC retains the right to question any score submitted. The name of the Marshal in charge of the shoot must be clearly shown on the score submission, and a contact number or email for the Archery Marshal in charge of the shoot must be provided so that the Keeper of the IKAC may contact him or her after the shoot in case clarifications are required. Please do not provide the name of the overall Marshal for the event, I need the contact information for the Archery Marshal that supervised the actual IKAC shoot. The Marshal must have knowledge of the shoot, and its details. If this information is not provided and questions arise, the Keeper of the IKAC may decide not to count the score submission. If this happens, the submitter of the score will be informed of the decision, and a mention of this fact will be posted on the web site, so that others may provide input, if necessary.
IKCAC
The following amendments to the IKCAC rules are in effect for the 2007 season:
1) Protective Gear – all armor requirements are waived with the exception of HELM protection and HAND protection.
2) Distances are unchanged from earlier season (the proposed shortening to 30 yards is NOT IN EFFECT).
3) The 2-minute time requirement for the regular Underhand, Archer’s Choice and Pavise round is waived. The archer still has to shoot 12 arrows.
4) The same rules as above in terms of declaring the start and end of each IKAC shoot, and not shooting for any other reason during a shoot, are in place. Furthermore, the Marshal contact information must be submitted along with each score submission.
5) The 3 main sections of the IKCAC can be shot in any order, or as deemed by the Marshal.
