The WA50m compound rounds will be shot on reduced 6-zone target faces. All other rounds on day 2 will shoot at full-size 10-zone faces.
Medals will be awarded in all age, gender, and bowstyle categories for the combined score across both days. Archers must enter an age/gender appropriate round on both days to qualify.
WA Star awards may be claimed from the WA1440 rounds on day 1, while WA Target awards may be claimed from the WA70m rounds on Day 2.
York Archers Society will not be held responsible for any damage caused to arrows from target bosses, including any arrows that pass through.
Entries from archers shooting both days of the event will have priority for places. Any online payments made for single days that do not make the target list will be refunded before the event.
There will be no refunds given for archers who withdraw from the event after entries close.
Archery GB dress regulations will apply as shown in Archery GB rule 307
An automatic email confirming payment will be made immediately upon online payment, a confirmation of target allocation email will be sent out manually within a week of the event.
Record status shoots are liable for drugs testing and any competitor approached to give a sample must comply. Refusal will be treated as a positive result.
Closing date for any entries is Friday the 21th of August
Upon adding this ticket to your basket a form will pop up and require filling in so that we can allocate target spaces.
As it stands the number of tickets available is set and as usual we are prioritising those that wish to shoot both days. Single day tickets will be made available closer to the event if available. Please email us if you have any trouble (tournaments@yorkarchers.co.uk).
Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis based on the timestamp of purchase. In the highly unlikely event that our maths is incorrect (famous last words), and we sell too many spaces, then a full refund will be made to anybody that does not get a space.
If you wish to camp overnight with us, please add the nights you’d like to stay to your basket before paying. The cost is £5 per plot per night. Please note that we cannot guarantee the availability of any facilities during your stay.
The gates will be open from 6pm on each night. Please email tournaments@yorkarchers.co.uk if you have any additional requirements.
