Hi guys,
We’ve got the California Indoor State Championships coming up on January 9 & 10, 2010 (The weekend before school starts). Registration is due soon to compete in the collegiate category, so please let us know if you are planning on going! We will cover all costs (except for food) and provide all necessary equipment except for the archer - for that, we need YOU!
A little more information about the competition:
Where: Tulare, CA ~3 hours drive north of USC by driving through Bakersfield (cow tipping anyone?)
When: January 9, 10 [Saturday, Sunday]
How: Carpool - Drivers, please be aware that all gas and parking costs will be covered by the club
Why: To kick ass.
Competition Format:
If you have shot at last Sunday’s practice, you know what to expect. You will have 2 minutes to shoot 3 arrows [called an end] before scoring and pulling the arrows. Each competitor shoots 2 rounds a day - each round consists of 10 ends for a total of 60 arrows a day.
Since this is may be the first competition for many of you, it will be necessary to sign up for membership under the NAA (National Archery Association), which is archery’s national governing body. Membership is $35 dollars per year and allows you to compete in the collegiate division. We will also need some more information from you to establish academic eligibility (yep, just like in varsity sports, they check your GPA). All this takes a bit of time to process so please let us know if you want to compete before the last day of finals (December 16).
Our last practice of the year will be Sunday, December 6, but we will plan to practice a few days before the competition before we head up. This is a great beginner competition and it will be quite an experience!
So if you would like to compete, reply to this email and we will send you some more info regarding registration. Feel free to ask questions!
