ECBOPAA SUMMER POSTAL LEAGUE


This six-month postal shoot runs in conjunction with the NZ Archery League Postal Shoot, but is an individual shoot, not a team shoot. Individual scores are to be submitted for this shoot. To be shot in a minor tournament situation (club shoot with independent witness is fine).


CRITERIA

Criteria for ECBOPAA archers is that all rounds must be shot within any ECBOPAA club grounds. Non-ECBOPAA archers may shoot at any archery club grounds.


An invitation to the shoot is extended to non-ECBOPAA clubs. Non-ECBOPAA participants will be eligible for awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd OVERALL placings in each division.


Clubs may shoot as many times as desired within the designated month/s of the shoot and the highest score from each individual archer participating is to be submitted as per below.


Scores will be recorded each day of shooting on a recording sheet (available from the Shoot Co-ordinator) held at each club range where the independent witness/es will record the score. At the end of each month, the recording sheet will be obtained by the club contact, who will then verify the highest scores for each of their archers from the recording sheet.


SUBMITTING SCORES

Although this shoot runs over six months, there will only be five results submitted:

October

November

December/January

February

March


The best individual scores are to be submitted via Google spreadsheet by each club contact. These are to be submitted by the 7th day of the following month of the shoot to the Shoot Co-ordinator at the email address of the Shoot Co-ordinator.


Any scores submitted after the 7th day of the following month may be accepted at the discretion of the Shoot Co-ordinator.


Please fill out all details required on the Google spreadsheet. The Masters, Teens and Pre-teens divisions are determined by the age on the 1st of October. If an archer is 20 years old or older on the 1st of October, they shoot as a senior. If an archer is 12 years old or younger on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Pre-teen. If an archer is between 13 and 19 years old on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Teen. If an archer is 50 years old or older on the 1st of October, they may enter as a Master.


Awards

There will be awards for ECBOPAA members in all divisions for an accumulated score over the entire six months. Archers need to shoot a minimum of three months to qualify for awards. All ECBOPAA archers must be from an ECBOPAA affiliated club to claim awards.


THE SHOOTS (Full Details Below)

There are two shoots available to accommodate the very young archers: the Pre-teen age group (age as at 1st of October) will shoot the Vera London Fun Shoot (details below) and everyone else (who have been shooting for one year or more) will shoot the Canadian 900.


Novice Class

There is a Novice Class for archers who have been shooting for less than one year and do not feel comfortable shooting the longer distances. This is classed as a Vera London Novice Fun Shoot. Archers can only shoot in this class once; i.e. if they shoot in it this year, they cannot shoot in it again. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each bow type.


SHOOT FEES

The cost of this shoot is $10.00 per entry and is required to be paid with the first set of results in November. There is no need to pre-register for this shoot; archers will be entered once the first month’s scores have been received.


All fees are to be paid directly into the ECBOPAA account (an invoice will be sent to each club after the first submission of scores and also as further submissions are made over the summer period).
