		<description>The YAOT going regional is a great idea in giving opportunity for every archery enthusiast to participate.
I have initiated Yangphel style Archery tournaments in Haa, Gelephu and Tsirang. Through my experiences I would like to through a few lines of suggestions.
1. The present, Local organizers may be identified from different regions and called      
     for meetings/discussions by Yangphel/parent organizer. The views put in by      
     the individuals in this form can be discussed.
2. Regards to seeded players: They will be absorbed by the teams from different  
     regions.  
3. An individual can play from any region but can play in one team only.
4. Till Quarter finnals can be organized in the region, and the qualifying teams for 
    Semi-finnals can be played in Thimphu.
5. Selection of prize winners:- The records from the regions will be compilled and 
    select the winners.
This is my opinion only.
All these can be taken care if a set of members sit together and discuss.</description>

		<description>On another note – the freshness of summer is very rejuvenating to play archery. The days are long to accommodate two games easily compared to winter months and the occassional rain is refreshing mena la.</description>

		<description>Yangphel archery tournament timings is ideal for a bunch of tour guides that are archery enthusiast. There are about 1300 guides and even half of them playing archery is 600 of them. The archery tournament months of june to mid sept is IDEAL. Sorry teachers but I am sure there are others who are also enthusiast that compliment to the current tournament period. If Yangphel has organized the same tournament for the same months for last 14 years then my suggestion is not to consider changing.

On another note - the freshness of summer is very rejuvenating to play archery. The days are long to accommodate two games easily compared to winter months and the occassional rain is refreshing mena la. 

Good luck in your regional tournament organization feat. It is going to be a challenge but may be you will be able to do it.</description>

		<description>It is very interesting and motivating to learn the idea of YAOT going regional.   I must submit that, I am one of the enthuasists deprived of the opportunity because of logistics and official commitments being away from Thimphu.  I for one, very much welcome and support the idea of YAOT going regional.  I am sure, there are many talented archers across the the country who are not able to showcase their skills.   If YAOT goes regional, this will open avenes for those talented lots.  

I feel  the turnament timing is very critical.  The current practice of YAOT (August-September) is not very favourable for many enthuasists who are in teaching professions.   If the current YAOT is organized sometime from the end of December to mid February, many talented enthuasist(teachers) will get an opportunity to participate(during winter break).  I for one, surely come to Thimphu to particiapte, and I have personally  heard of many of my friends(enthuasists) say the same.

Looking forward for YAOT going regional, if not we wish to see YAOT (Thimphu) Schedule change from current (August-September) to End of Dec-Mid Feb.
Good luck Yangphel!</description>

		<description>TO DORJI: 
As of now, just some plans;
 - there would be independent observers appointed in the different regions (independent of the local organizers)
- proper documentation would be sought
- and the 15 top archers (from across all the regions) would be invited to come to Changlimithang to play another 45 rounds to find the best of them. There could be several archers from one region or none among the top 15.</description>

		<description>its nice to hear that yangphel is going regional henceforth  but the concern is what about the umpires and officials for the matches? Will yangphel send thier people or are there someother means of doing it? what i feel is, there are always the chances of manipulating the number of kareys when it goes regional to become the best archer of the year...</description>

		<description>TO: Jurmin on qualification.

We do say that the first tie breaker is team score but you have to tie first. To tie in karey total, you have to tie not just total but also, sa-kareys and bulls - because if you are not equal in all of these, then there would be difference in total points generated. So, it is assumed that all understand that to tie in kareys means equalling not just kareys, but sa-karey and bulls included within the total.

Let us know if you need further clarification</description>

		<description>My concern this time is not regarding YOAT going regional. Its regarding the qualification to Knockout I through wild card entry. let me quote the rules first:

Wild Card Entry to Knockout I

1.	A total of 12 teams will receive qualification to the knockout phase via the Wild Card Slots. From all the teams in all pools that did not receive automatic qualification, 12 teams with the highest Karey totals will qualify through the Wild Card Slots.
2.	If there is a tie in deciding wild card slots the total scores (1st tie breaker) of the teams will be calculated and the team with the higher scores will advance. In case of a tie in both score as well as total Karey (including Sa-Karey &amp; Bull’s Eye hits) count, a re-match will decide who is to advance between the 2, 3, or more teams.

The rule no. 2 says that the team with higher total score will advance, its the 1st Tie breaker. But on the contrary, this time Joker 11 has the lowest total score among the 4 teams with 79 kareys each, and it qualifies. I am now left in oblivion as m not sure which rule yangphel organizing committee is following. Can any one throw some light on it.</description>
