USA Archery's outdoor season will
kick off on April 4 with the AAE Arizona Cup, a World Ranking Tournament
and U.S. Archery Team (USAT) Qualifier Series Event.
Who
can compete? Any USA Archery (USAA) member, National Field Archery
Association (NFAA) member or a member of any World Archery Member
Association may compete. Archers must compete in Cadet, Junior or Senior
age divisions. To earn USAT ranking, membership in USAA is required.
The
competition begins with official practice on April 4; on April 5, senior and junior recurve archers will compete in a four distance qualification round (144 arrows) while cadet recurve, and all compound divisions, will compete in a single-distance, 72 arrow qualification round.
On April 6,
open and national team rounds will take place - a fast-paced and
exciting round similar to what is competed at the Olympic Games; cadet archers will also compete in individual elimination rounds on that day. Head to
head matchplay for junior and senior archers will conclude the tournament and select the AAE Arizona
Cup champions on April 7.
Event organizers encourage participants to register as soon as possible; over 100 entries have reportedly already been received. To learn more and register, visit http://www.arizonacup.com.
