Expressions of Interest for the Commonwealth Games Archery Event, India 2022
As part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, there is a possibility that a separate archery event will be held in Chandigarh, India in January 2022.
It is the intention that any medals awarded at this event will be added to the final medal table at the end of the Commonwealth Games which is being held in Birmingham in June 2022.
As part of being awarded this event, India, as hosts, have previously indicated that they would pay for the travel and accommodation for the teams, but this has not yet been confirmed. At the moment there are also a lot of unknowns regarding travel in the future which may affect WAA’s ability to send a team but hopefully this will become clearer as time goes on.
If the Championships go ahead, it will include the following events:
Men’s Recurve - Individual and Team
ladies Recurve - Individual and Team
Men’s Compound - Individual and Team
Ladies Compound - Individual and Team
To help us discuss how we proceed, we would like anyone who is interested in being selected for these Games to please complete the information below and return it by April 1st.

Inter-County Match & Outdoor Championships - POSTPONED
WAA regrets to announce that the Inter-County Match and Outdoor Championships, due to be held at Myddelton College, Denbeigh on the 19th and 20th of September 2020 have been postponed due to the coronavirus. Archery GB have issued draft guidelines on the Return to Archery Competition, which will be reviewed by Tournament Organisers at a Webinar on July 28th, but we feel the competitions are not viable under the current conditions. We hope to hold the Inter-County Match and Outdoor Championships at the same venue next year. |

New Rules of Shooting
Archery GB have released a new Rule Book.
Changes since the October edition are as follows:
Equipment - aligning the Archery GB Rules with the World Archery Rules. The rules for Compound, Recurve, and Barebow now reference the World Archery rule book directly. These rules are helpfully printed in Appendix F of the Archery GB rule book for ease of reference. This change will make it easier for archers, as for Recurve, Compound, and Barebow the rules are the same no matter which event you are at. This means that for Archery GB events we need to use the 12.2cm ring for checking Barebows.
Additional Rounds added on page 3.13 - to include WA 50m for Barebow, Double 70m & 50m Rounds, and Barebow Match Round.
Clarification of scoring for the Vegas 300 Round - 409A (e)(iii) "Rule 404 applies for scoring, with the exception that Compound Archers will score 10 for an Inner 10 and 10 for an Inner Gold (Rule 404(a)).
Please make sure you update all copies of your rule books, particularly any electronic versions. |
