Individual’s positions within the county team will be updated after each county shoot on a rolling process. Where a county shoot has been shot in the current year, the previous year’s shoot will be dropped.

Points will be given to county archers on their position in each tournament.

i.e. Highest placed county archer 1 point, 2nd placed county archer 2 points, third placed county archer 3 points and so on.

Archer’s positions within the county team will be based on the following:

 

Recuves  / Longbow and Compounds archers positions will be based on the best 3 of the least 3 county selection shoots and the average of the three determined.

Those archers who attain GMB or MB status within the current outdoor season will need to contact the Team Manager to ensure that they are automatically ranked at the top of the table. However, if there are too many archers that qualify through gaining GMB or MB status, GMBs will be given preference and then MBs then positions from the selection shoots will be taken into consideration.

Where there are not enough archers participating in each category, known archers will be invited to represent the county. This will be done on their performance/scores at other events, but the minimum standard will be Bowman. The Team Manager will have the final say in any matter to do with the selection of the County Team.

All archers will be required to wear DWAA Country Shirts when representing the County at Team Competitions.
