Team round scores do not count toward the Overall Team trial this year. Basic Bow Division Test event - 50m on 122cm target. This division will not receive National titles, All-American, All-Academic awards this year. Plaques will be awarded to the top 3. Unless there are 9 or more archers, there will not be a team round. Archers competing in the Bowhunter Division - Equipment Rules are posted on the USCA website in the Rules and Procedures Handbook The USCA Dress code will be enforced - See Rules and Procedures Handbook at www.uscollegiatearchery.org Small Team Substitution: Per changes in September, small teams who cannot make up either a men's or women's team in a discipline may combine up to two women and compete in the men's division of their respective discipline. This is a FISU allowance that the Board felt was fair to utilize. The board clarified in Feb that it is for all disciplines. A team cannot combine if they have enough to make a team in either gender in a discipline and they cannot sit out a man in order to put in a woman (ie if there are 2 recurve men and 2 recurve women, both men must shoot). Teams may not remove equipment to create a 'new team' as in extra compound archers cannot remove stabilizers and scopes for 12" stabilizer and pins and go into Bow Hunter. They cannot compete in Men's team compound, nor can compound shoot in Bow hunter team. All disciplines must be the same for the small team substitution World University Team Trials The World University team is a separate event which requires separate registration and additional fees and requirements. The WUC team will be selected from the Double 70m round on Friday 18 May and Sat 19 May. There are documents and deposits required to be received by USCA by strict deadlines. Archers are responsible for knowing and adhering to all rules and requirements. Failure to do so will result in disqualification or ineligibility. Full information regarding the Trials is posted on the USCA website at www.uscollegiatearchery.org Tournament Field of Play The U.S. Intercollegiate Archery Championship (USIAC) is a prestigious national championship event for the official clubs and teams of the US Collegiate Archery Association (USCA).
Members are vying for many honors and awards both as individuals and as teams. USCA strives to maintain the decorum and validity of such events as well as maintain required risk management policies for the Association.
USCA welcomes alumni, parents, personal coaches, and friends as spectators to the event. However, just as in other collegiate sporting events, only official USCA member athletes and coaches are permitted beyond the spectator line at this event.
Non-members are not permitted on the tournament field and must remain behind the spectator line. Parents and personal coaches are able to interact with athletes from that position.
If you are competing only for the World Team Trials, you must leave the field each day when that competition is completed. The spectator area is available for you.
USCA has received complaints about large groups gathering in front of the equipment line. During competitions, team round/mixed team round, and elimination matches, archers who are not competing at that time must be behind the equipment line. One coach is permitted in the Coach box during team rounds.
These are World Archery rules. In fairness to all archers in the competition, the rules will be enforced by the Judges. Things to do in Harrisonburg, Va, on the weekend on May 19-21 For local restaurants, please take a look at the Harrisonburg tourism website, located here: http://www.harrisonburgtourism.com/v.php?pg=33 For those who’d like to drive to see some history, Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello, is roughly 65 miles from Harrisonburg: http://www.monticello.org/ |
