OFFICIAL VEGAS ROUND RULES

You may enter either a Championship division, Flight division or a Junior Division. Archers may only register in ONE division and style and will remain in the same division all three days. The number of entries in that division will determine the number of places offered in each division. Based on last year’s registration, the number of places offered this year would be as listed. The tournament guarantees the first three places for each division will not change; however, subsequent places may change based on attendance. This may be different than the published awards. Archers competing in Flight or Championship divisions must be 15 years of age or older at the time of the tournament.

Non-English Speaking Competitors: Every effort will be made to contact those archers who require assistance to understand the equipment divisions, scoring procedures, tournament rules, etc.  Please notify a tournament staff person if language or other circumstances may cause communication problems.

Flights: Flight placements will be determined at the discretion of the tournament management. The method or methods used for determining the flights can be any combination of all three days of competition.

Junior Divisions:  There will be two Junior divisions open to all archers, 17 years of age or younger; Compound and Recurve. Each division will offer three age groups in Male and Female categories; Cub (11 and under), Youth (12-14) and Young Adult (15-17). The archer must be the appropriate age at the time of competition. Any Junior archer who has a birthday during the tournament will be allowed to complete that tournament in the age group that he/she started in.

Recurve Division archers are allowed to use the 60 cm FITA-NAA Indoor Face. Compound Divisions must use the 40 cm 3-Spot Vegas target face or the standard 40 cm single spot Indoor Face. NFAA equipment rules will apply. All Junior Divisions will shoot at 20 yds.

Junior Divisions will shoot only two rounds; one each on Friday and Saturday. Archers may only register in ONE style and division and will remain in the same division both days of competition. Vegas Shoot scholarships will be presented to the top 3 place winners in each Junior Division. All Junior Division ties will be decided by the highest score in the following sequence 1) total x’s 2) 1st round score 3) 2nd round score 4) 1st end through 20th end score.

Championship Young Adults Divisions: There will be two Championship Young Adult divisions available to archers 15-17 years of age; Compound and Recurve. Championship Young Adult divisions will compete for cash prizes in a male/female-combined division. Participants must be between the ages of 15-17 at the time of the tournament to compete in these divisions.

Championship Young Adult divisions will shoot three rounds of competition; one each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on either the 40 cm, “Vegas” three-spot target face with gold – red– blue (10-9-8-7-6) scoring areas or the 40 cm single spot face with 10 through 1 scoring rings. The x-ring of the 40 cm Indoor Vegas Face will be used for tiebreaks for 4th place or below.  Ties for first, second and third place will compete in a shoot off to determine final places.

Ties: Championship division ties for first, second and third place will be determined by the highest total score from all three days of competition, not counting x’s. All competitors tied with the same high score at the end of the third day will compete in a shoot off to determine final places. The shoot off will include one practice-end followed by end-by-end sudden death. The first end will be scored with regular scoring followed by scoring where only the x ring scores 10 points. After each end, only those still tied with the highest score will continue in the shoot off. All archers’ placement in the tournament (other than first, second or third) will be determined by the order in which they drop out of the shoot off. If more than one archer drops out of the shoot off in the same end, those archers will be placed based on their total score and x count of all three days, including the score and x’s accumulated in the shoot off.

All other ties (Flight and Championship) will be broken by the highest score and highest x count. Ties remaining after x count, will equally split the combined payout of the tied positions.

All Junior Division ties will be decided by the highest score in the following sequence 1) total x’s 2) 1st round score 3) 2nd round score 4) 1st end through 20th end score.

Scoring: Electronic scoring will be implemented for the entire 2018 Vegas Shoot. You will be given further instruction at the Tournament regarding the proper procedures. Archers will be responsible for understanding the scoring procedures and verifying their scores.  Free access will be provided to an Official Vegas Shoot Scoring link where scores will be available on smart phones, kiosks and monitors throughout the venue.

Protests:  Any incident requiring immediate decision must be brought to the attention of a referee.  All protests must be submitted in writing to the TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR within one hour of the conclusion of the round where the incident occurred, accompanied by $50 U.S. The Tournament Rules Committee will convene approximately 1 hour after the last scoring end of each day to decide the outcome of each protest. All decisions of the Tournament Rules Committee will be final.
