Participant Ranking: Participants will always shoot a standard Vegas round each week. However, there will be different ways to rank participants:
• Handicap scores - we will apply handicap to scores and rank handicap’d scores.
• Raw scores - this is the raw score you shoot, and we’ll rank participants based on their raw scores.
• Results & Ranking will be posted each week.
General Rules:
NFAA Vegas 300 round rules will be used. Basic rules include the following:
• Shooting position will be at 20 yards for ALL participants (all ages, all genders, all equipment divisions)
• Either a 40cm single spot target face or a Vegas 3-spot target face will be used.
• A 60cm target can be used by Cub, Youth, and Young Adult recurve archers.
• We will use the dual face Vegas target and archers can switch target faces (single-spot or three-spot) at any time during practice rounds and competition.
• Arrow shaft must be touching the line for the higher score.
• X’s will be counted and used as tie breakers.
• Targets will be swapped at half-time (if you started on top, your target moves to the bottom and vice versa).
• League participants are responsible for ensuring that their scores on the league score sheets are accurate and recorded on the scoresheet at the end of the night.
• League participants are responsible for reporting their scores EACH WEEK by 7:00PM Saturday via the online reporting form.
• If you know that you will not be able to submit a score for the next week (e.g. vacation), you may shoot an additional score with league admin notification prior to shooting the score.
• Scores obtained outside of official league nights must be verified and submitted by Saturday night 7:00pm the same week.
• You must submit at least 10 official scores to be qualified for awards. A cumulative average score will be provided when no score is submitted for the week.
• You may shoot multiple league nights (if space is available), however the score you submit online (via the league score reporting form) is the score that will be recorded for the week.
• In the event of equipment failure during a scoring round have your partial scorecard initialed by a Predator’s employee verifying the failure; make a note that there was an equipment failure; and turn in the scores as normal. You will be allowed to re-shoot the round to turn in a score, however the deadline for the weekly score submissions is still in effect unless you have league admin approval.
• All league participants will be invited to the league awards dinner regardless of status (dropped out, disqualified for awards, etc). Everyone attending the dinner will be responsible for their own bill. Location, costs, date, and time of the dinner will be determined BEFORE the league’s completion. We will try to make every reasonable accommodation to ensure everyone can participate in the dinner by planning early.
• The “League Admins” will be the deciding entity for any rule changes or disputes.
