The target
face for this RR is the same as Thrown Weapons Interkingdom Challenge,
the main differences between this and the TWIC rules are the weapons
and what distances. Here's
a link to the TWIC homepage.
EK Thrown Weapons now has an official
Royal Round! Brought to us from our fearless leader in his own words:
Unto all Throwers in th East does Lord Leonhard Schuwert, EK Deputy
Earl Marshal of Thrown Weapons send Greetings!
Now that the throwing season is well upon us, you
are no doubt wondering "how well do I throw against other throwers in
the East?" Well, the answer is here! Introducing the East Kingdom
Thrown Weapons Royal Round. Now you can compare your skill against
other throwers in the Kingdom without spending $100.00 in fuel
travelling to other regions. Scoring for this officially begins when
you read this in Pikestaff. The rules are at the end of this message.
So, enjoy throwing and good luck.

East Kingdom Thrown Weapons Royal Round
The East Kingdom TW RR was created to standardize the ranking of
throwers in the East, similar in manner to archery. This Royal Round
score involves the use of axe, knife and spear. All equipment and
throwing line rules of the SCA and the East Kingdom apply.
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 a line between two
values, count the higher value. The target shall be a 3 inch circle
centered inside a 8 inch circle centered inside a 14 inch circle. The
scoring is: Center=5, Middle=3 and Outside=1. The thrower may practice
before beginning each end, but must declare when they are beginning.
After an end has begun, it must be completed before a new end can
begin. All scores must be witnessed by a thrown weapon marshal and one
other person.
The Royal Round must take place at an event or a published practice for
it to count. Only one score for each type of weapon can be submitted
each day of the event/practice, but there is no limit to the number of
rounds that can be thrown. Three scores for each type of weapon are
needed to be placed on the rankings. An average of the scores will be
the ranking score.
Axe
The axe portion of the RR consists of two ends of 6 throws each. One
end of throws from 10-20 feet, and 1 end of throws from 20-30 feet, for
a total of 12 throws. If a foot touches the line or goes past, the
throw will be counted as a miss.
Knife
The knife portion of the RR consists of two ends of 6 throws each. One
end of throws from 10-20 feet, and 1 end of throws from 20-30 feet, for
a total of 12 throws. If a foot touches the line or goes past, the
throw will be counted as a miss.
Spear
The spear portion of the RR consists of two ends of 6 throws each. One
end will be thrown from15-25 feet and 1 end of throws from 25-35 feet,
for a total of 12 throws. If a foot touches the line or goes past, the
throw will be counted as a miss. I suggest the marshal-in-charge place
the spear target 5 feet further back of the axe & knife targets so
that everyone can throw from approximately the same distance.
