2010 NW District Archery Tournament – March 20, 2010

Synopsis

There are four events in the archery disciplines at the Washington State 4-H Shooting SportsNW District Archery Tournament

  1. FITA Rounds(2)
  2. Field Round
  3. 3D Round
  4. Toxophology Quiz for prizes

Even though the same three events are used for each discipline, recurve and compound archery are administered as two distinct disciplines, with three events each.

Note that while the national governing bodies (NGB) for the three different events have slightly different requirements or restrictions-for the sake of simplification- the National 4-H Shooting Sports Invitational uses one standard for equipment – for all events.

However, the 2010 NW District Tournament will recognize 4 equipment styles.See the “Shooting Styles and Equipment” section for details.

The District Tournament will abide by all rules in the 2010 WA State Tournament General Rules unless specified differenlty in this document.

Shooting & Scoring Rules

Raw score is used in determining placements in each competitive event (highest score wins).

Overall awards are determined by placement points (points assigned for each “place”) in all 3 events, not by a compilation of total raw scores.

Purpose of placement points: To equalize the value of each event; i.e. so that the 3D event has the same value as the FITA event; AND to equalize the value of each discipline when determining the overall award. To accomplish this, each event must have the same point value for 1st place, 2nd, etc.

Each individual will be assigned a placement point value after event scores are recorded, tie breaks are made, and final ranking for the event is determined. Placement points from each event are totaled for each individual to determine the overall awards/ranking.

IndividualAwards

Acrylic Trophies will be awarded to:

Top 4 Recurve shooter in all three age divisions regardless of equipment style

Top 4 Compound shooters in all three age divisions regardless of equipment style

Certificate will be awarded for recognition of special equipment categories:

Top 4 Recurve Barebow shooters in all three age divisions

Top 4 Compound Freestyle Limited shooters in all three age divisions
