Rules for Royal Round - Plumbata

General Rules

• For a weapon to score, it must be sticking in the target. If it falls out of the target before it is scored, it shall count as a miss. The thrower has the option to ask the marshal of the line to score a throw and retrieve at any time.
• If a weapon is cutting the line between two values, count the higher value
• During a Royal Round, when a thrower changes distance, the thrower is allowed up to two unscored "calibration rounds" of up to three throws each, then must complete and score that distance.
• The thrower may start at either distance.
• A new round for a weapons form cannot be started unless the previous round for that weapon type has been completed or abandoned. The thrower may begin another weapons form (example - you may throw multiple weapons from one distance, and then move to another distance)
• In general, a Royal Round must be completed in the same day in which it is started (accommodations can be made, if necessary)
• Royal Rounds may be thrown at any official event (including announced practices)
• For now, you may submit (when the site is ready) multiple RRs per event, but this may be restricted at a later time
• There must be at least 2 people (including at least one marshal) for the score to be counted
• The marshal may throw, with one witness.
• Until we have a site set up to track scores, please submit all scores electronically at: scores-sca.org/atlantia_thrown
• scores may be submitted for a single weapon type or any combination of the three - they will be tracked independently
