Important Notice - Please Read
Greetings from Lorenzo il Confuso, Keeper of the IKCAC,
As the 2009 season has drawn to a close, the Official Results and Winners for the IKAC and IKCAC have been posted on the 'Previous Season'.
Also, I would like to bring to your attention several items, some affecting this past year, and some related to the new year.
I believe the move to the InterKingdom Scorekeeping website for the 2009 season has worked extremely well, based on the reports and the feedback I have received from the archers. My heartfelt thanks continue to go to Baron Jonathas for his unwavering assistance in getting this accomplished, and the million little changes required specifically for the IKAC/IKCAC, changes I know were not easy for him to implement. The final package has worked out very well indeed.
I have taken on a deputy. Lord Osmond de Berwic will henceforth be responsible for all Youth and Children archery in the IKAC. Lord Osmond has been very helpful to me in the past years in counseling me in regards to Childrens archery, and I am very happy that he has agreed to take a more formal role in this area. He will be responsible for approving all Children and Youth scores, and resolving any issues, working with me on any issues whenever required. Lord Osmond can be reached at ikac_youth <at> scores-sca <dot> org, and his new role will show on the main IKAC page shortly.
There will be changes for the 2010 season in the Youth league, in the distance and age brackets, and the rules for the Children and Youth league will be expanded to cover situations such as a child having a birthday that would place him out of one league and into another during the season and so on. The new rules will be posted on the web site shortly. The age of the shooter for a Youth or Children archer will be a mandatory field also. As stated, there will be many changes in the Youth and Children leagues, not least of which in the awarding of medallions. Participation has grown to the point where there is no reason to count only the top 3 archers overall. Instead the winners will be counted as in all other divisions, i.e. the average of the top 3 archers in each Kingdom average will count for both Children and Youth leagues in the 2010 season.
As we reviewed the 2009 scores in the past few weeks we found a few situations where some archers have shot both in the adult leagues and in the Children and Youth leagues. This is forbidden by the existing rules, and the affected Youth/Children scores are in the process of being disapproved and the various marshals/archers notified to the extent possible. The scores will be left in the Adult leagues, but removed from the Youth/Children leagues. In the 2010 season and beyond this is something that we will pay special attention to, so that it does not happen again. It is understood that there is nothing malicious about it, but it is a matter of ensuring that the rules are applied to everyone.
Finally, and very importantly, I am extending the period of correction to 1/15/2010 for the 2009 season, to allow some marshals to rectify some oustanding scores and to resolve some situations that had arisen as the entries for the year were reviewed. This only means that additional corrections for the 2009 season can be done on the web site until 1/15/2009, after which the winners will be announced.
The 2010 season starts 1 February 2010, as usual.
I would like to thank all the archers who participated in the IKAC/IKAC in 2009. We have had what I think was a very strong showing, considering the move in web site and so on, and I look forward to even more growth in the next season.
Thanks to all of you for your participation, and heartfelt best wishes to all of you and your families for a wonderful new year. I hope the new year will bring you much happiness, and great scores!!
- Lorenzo

Welcome to the Inter-Kingdom Archery Competition and Inter-Kingdom Combat Archery Competition Official page!! The Inter-kingdom Archery Competition, IKAC for short, and the Inter-Kingdom Combat Archery Competition, IKCAC for short, are year-long target archery tournaments that allow all the archers in the Knowne World to compete in an SCA-wide competition on behalf of their Kingdoms. Each year, up to a thousand archers from almost every Kingdom submit thousand of scores in a bid to win the tournament. It is a great way for archers not just to represent their Kingdom and possibly win a great prize, but also a way for archers to compete against other archers in different parts of the Knowne World, and chart their progress in an SCA-wide setting. The competition is open to all archers, beginning and experienced. It is a great way to develop skill, and very rewarding as you see your skill increase and move up the ranks. And at all times you will be representing your Kingdom!. The competition has multiple divisions, including general target archery, period archery, combat archery, and special divisions for younger archers. The IKAC/IKCAC competition has running for over 30 years.
|
| In the following pages you will find information about the competition, current scores for this season and scores for the past ten years of the competition. The IKAC/IKCAC is one of the unique competitions in the SCA, as it unites archers from far off places through their common love of archery. I hope you will find the competition interesting, and rewarding, as many have through the years. If you have any questions, comments, or criticisms, do not hesitate to write to me Lorenzo il Confuso. |

| Marshal Accounts |
| Currently I am working through getting all of the scores which have already been submitted entered into the site, and creating marshal accounts as I go. If you are a marshal, have not already gotten an account, and would be willing to submit your scores via the site, please send me an email with Account Request as the subject. The email must include your Mundane name, Scadian Name, Home Kingdom/Group, and Email address. Scores which are submitted via the site will be given priority for getting approved and included in the official standings. |

| The Inter-Kingdom Archery Competition |
|
The IKAC consists of six Divisions: Open Handbow, Open Crossbow, Period Handbow, Period Crossbow, Children’s Division and Youth Division. The competition starts on 1 February and ends on December 1 and any archer can participate by shooting at either an official practice or an official event.
In all Divisions, each Kingdom's score will be the average of the top 3 scorers. However, all scores submitted for ALL archers that participate in the competition will be shown in the database on the Scores page.
Prizes will be given for each Division, ONLY to the top three archers of the winning Kingdom, except as noted below:
- In the Open Division prizes will be awarded for the 1st place Kingdom (Golden Medallions) and the Second Place Kingdom (Silver Medallions).
- In the Youth Division, where only the top three archers overall will be rewarded, regardless of Kingdom.
The IKAC is very similar to a normal Royal Round, except that it has more ends. There are specific rules for each division, and they can be found on the IKAC rules page. Please make sure to read the rules carefully prior to participating.
To ease and assist recording the scores at the range these score sheets has been developed in Excel:

| The Inter Kingdom Combat Archery Competition |
|
The Inter Kingdom Combat Archery Competition, IKCAC for short, is a target competition shot with combat gear, which provides the combat archer of the SCA with an opportunity to compete with other archers from all Kingdoms of the Known World. It also provides an SCA wide standard of comparison for combat archery skills.
The IKCAC, unlike the IKAC, consists of only one division. The starting date is 1 February and the ending date is December 1. As in the IKAC, each Kingdom's score is made up of the average of the top 3 scorers, and medallions are awarded to the top 3 archers of the winning Kingdom. As with the IKAC, all participants' scores are shown on the Scores page, allowing each archer to track their progress and compare themselves with other archers in the Knowne World.
There are very specific rules for the IKCAC, please make sure to read the rules on the IKCAC rules page. On that page you can also see a drawing and picture for the IKCAC typical target.
To ease and assist recording the scores at the range this Score Sheet has been developed in Excel, or this Score Sheet in PDF. Details on building a the IKCAC target can be found here.
