Arizona JOAD’s Club Team Competition

2005 World Archery Festival, Las Vegas,

February 24-27, 2005

The World Archery Festival, Las Vegas is the most popular national tournament for Arizona JOAD’s.

The event includes a tournament, product show, archery technique presentations, as well as all the other attractions Vegas has to offer.

This year AZJOAD and the World Archery Festival are hosting a JOAD club team competition.

 All Arizona JOAD clubs are encouraged to organize a team to compete for the Title of

 “World Archery Festival Arizona JOAD Team Champion!”

Who:  All Arizona JOAD club youth participants.  The World Archery Festival is an open tournament.  Arizona JOAD Club membership varies from club to club.  (If a JOAD club is not available to you, email azjoad@cox.net and we will find a club to compete with.)

What:  Travel to the 2005 World Archery Festival, Las Vegas and compete individually and as part of an Arizona JOAD club team member. The Friday/Saturday 300 round score will be used for the team competition along with club participation bonus points.

Where:  World Archery Festival at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Many will want to stay at the Riviera for convenience.  There is an abundance of lodging options nearby.  Note that the Vegas Strip is known for traffic jams.  Allow sufficient time for travel.

When:   February 24-27, 2005.  Weather in Vegas in February is similar to the weather in the Arizona Desert. 

How:  Each Arizona JOAD Club is to encourage their JOAD archers to compete in the World Archery Festival, Las Vegas.  You will need your own equipment.  Let your club leader know that you want to compete at the World Archery Festival as part of the club.  Registration and travel is taken care of individually at most clubs. 

• The event is ideal for ride and room sharing.

• Register for the tournament:  Information will be on www.nfaa-archery.org when available.  The NFAA age divisions are different from the NAA categories.  Review the age and equipment division descriptions.

• Make hotel reservations:  Be sure to arrive on Thursday to take part in practice.

• Car Travel:  Many will want to travel by car.  It takes about 6 hours to drive from central Arizona, assuming no road delays.  When traveling to Nevada, Arizonans gain an hour because of the time change.

• Air Travel:  Some will want to fly.  Vegas is very easy to get around without a car.  A one-way taxi ride between the airport and the Riviera is about $15.  (The exciting adult championship takes place Sunday afternoon; schedule a late flight if you want to watch it.)

• Equipment:  Get your equipment ready.  You will need at least 3 arrows to complete.  Six is recommended, as robin hoods are common.  Check the bow from tip to tip to make sure all is in good order.  Replace anything that is in question.  Note that there is no dress code to speak of, BUT  matching team shirts look cool.

• Practice:  All will be competing at 18 meters, about 20 yards.  Practice as much as you can.

How much:  Travel, lodging, food, and World Archery Festival registration fee.  There is also the expense of missing a day and a half of school.  Based on the feedback AZJOAD receives every year, the expense is worth it for the entire family.

Why:  JOADs will see what its like to compete in a National Tournament.  Arizona Club member teams will compete in a Statewide Arizona JOAD Club competition.  The Vegas shoot is an ideal goal for youth archers and their family.  Serious Fun…

Rules and procedures: 

The goal of the team competition is to award the club that encourages the most youth archers to compete in the Vegas World Archery Festival as well as the club with the best competitors.  The scoring is based on a combination of the number of competing club member plus the score of the club's top compound and recurve archers.

• Team list:  Each Arizona JOAD club must submit a list of their competing club team members before the tournament scoring begins.  Club members must be Arizona residents.  A youth can only compete for one team at a time.

• Age limit:  Team competitors must compete in the youth division or be no older than 18 years old at the end of the year if they compete in an adult division.

• Number of club team members:  Each club may bring as many team members as they wish.

• 2 bonus points will be awarded for each listed team member that shoots ten scoring ends on Friday and Saturday tournament round.

• Scores:  The individual scores used to determine the Team Championship shall be as published by the tournament, plus the bonus points.

Championship determination (decision is not final yet):

Method one

Each Club's highest two 600 round compound club member scores plus highest two 600 round recurve club members scores plus the bonus points determine the Arizona JOAD club team score.  The totaled team scores will determine the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place team.  Ties will be settled per the World Archery Festival, non shoot-off method.

Method two

Each Clubs highest three 600 round member scores, including at least one recurve archers score plus the bonus points determine the Arizona JOAD club team score.  The totaled team scores will determine the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place team.  Ties will be settled per the World Archery Festival, non shoot-off method.
