Junior Summer League Match Rules 2018

All juniors shooting in League matches will be entered into both the summer team league and the
individual league. The more you shoot the more chance you have of winning a medal.

1. The round will be a Short Metric; distance to be relevant to the juniors age on the day of the
match.

2. The round will be shot under G.N.A.S rules.

3. Teams will consist of any number of archers for recurve, compound, longbow and barebow.
• If longbows or barebows score then they automatically have a plus handicap of 20% added
to each longbow/barebow score used.
• If compound archers shoot then the score for each compound will be deducted 10% from
the compound score used.
Although not totally fair it does give all archers irrespective of bow style the chance to compete
equally.

4. All matches are on the day matches, shot alongside the adult league match against the same
team.

5. The home team is detailed first in the fixture. It is their responsibility to submit the match results
and all junior scores to the league organiser.

6. Results will be awarded for the top 3 juniors scoring after alterations for bow style have been
made. If less than 3 in a team then it will be the number who do turn up versus the top 3 of the
other team. If less than 3 turn up for both teams then it will be the maximum number per team
up to 3.

7. ALL SCORES MUST BE COUNTED for qualifying archers/numbers as rule 6 above. All scores
must be submitted for individual league tables

8. Match winners will be on the day and at the end of the season, we will also award individual
medals to juniors in age groups.

9. If the opposition fails to raise a Junior team, the win will be given to the team present on the day.

10. Points are awarded to teams as follows:
A win carries 10 points, with the losing team getting bonus points for each archer (up to a
maximum of 3). This may encourage them to shoot even if they believe they are unable to
win.
Win = 10 points
Draw = 6 points
Loose = 1 point for each archer up to 3 points.
All juniors shooting in the league will be issued with a league participation medal at the end
of the season. These are made and given out by each club.

11. Results are to reach the organiser by the 7th day of the month following the match. Failure to
submit the result by this date will result in the match being awarded to the away team.

12. Archers can only shoot for the club that they have nominated through ArcheryGB

13. The Hertfordshire Archery Association must be the Archer’s first named county.

14. If a Hertfordshire Archer changes clubs within the county after the start of the league season
they will not be able to compete for their new club for the duration of the current season.

15. Only one score per archer will be accepted.

16. Archers may only compete as a Junior or a Senior, not as both.

17. The HAA County Junior Representative’s decision is final.
