About 55 archers took the field to compete for the honor of serving Their Majesties as Archery Champions — and to defend the Kingdom from reported dragons. All advanced from Round 1 to Round 2, for a solid day of shooting. Among the top 16 scorers, Lord Eoin MacEoghan (78 points) and Master Li Kung Lo (70) opted to step out of the competition. A tie-breaker for the 16th spot between Jacob (53) Felinfoel and Daniel Krakkenson was won by Daniel. The 16 finalists were addressed by His Majesty, Kelson, then commenced shoot-offs against their seeded competitors. Here are the results:
