REGISTRATION FEES

EVENT FORMAT

For the 2021 Canadian Outdoor Championships a number of new formats are being piloted. The intent in the changes made is to better align the Canadian Championships with international standards, while still maintaining meaningful competition and elements that are uniquely Canadian

3D Championships (Pilot Format for 2021):

2 Rounds of 24 Target, One arrow

Day 1 – Round 1 (24 Targets)

Day 2 – Round 2 (24 Targets)

Day 3 – Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) & Shoot Up

Round 1 & 2 will consist of 24 targets each for a total of 48. After 48 targets the top 8 will advance to the finals. The remaining competitors must shoot in the LCQ. In the LCQ scores will reset to zero and the top two after 10 targets will advance to the finals in 9th and 10th place respectively. If there is a tie after the Qualification rounds of 48 or the LCQ they will be broken by using the most number of 11’s. If there is still a tie then each archer will shoot one randomly chosen target on the finals field as a tiebreaker. The closest to the center of the 11 will be awarded the winner. Any archer outside the top 11 score will remain tied if the number of 11’s shoot are the same.

The finals venue will have a practice range available for archers who are waiting to shoot. The practice range will include bag and 3D targets out to the maximum distance archers will shoot in the finals

Shoot Up Format: There will be two pools of archers in each shoot up round. Each round will consist of 3 targets from one station. Both archers will shoot at the same time and at the same targets, in the order they select too. There will be a three minute time period to complete your shots. Shoot Up Pools will be as follows:

Pool 1: 10th Place vs 7th Place     Pool 2: 9th place vs 8th Place

Winner of 10v7 vs. 6th Place         Winner of 9v8 vs. 5th Place

Winner of above vs. 3rd place        Winner of above vs. 4th Place

Winner of above vs 2nd place qualifier     Winner of above vs 1st place qualifier

Winner vs Winner. 

The most points after three targets will advance onto the next round. If there is a tie after three targets there will be a one target shoot off and closet to the center will advance. If there is a tie for a medal another set of three targets will be shot. If there is still a tie after three targets then a single target will be shot with the closest to the center being awarded the higher position. 

If there are less than 6 participants in a class, medals will be awarded off the first two rounds of competition. Participants in these classes will be allowed to shoot in the shoot up or choose to shoot the relegation round. 

Classes with less thank six participants that shoot at the same shooting stake, may be combined for shoot up. Medals will still be awarded off the first 2 qualification rounds. 

Anyone who does not qualify for the shoot up, will be permitted to shoot in the last chance qualifier round prior to the Finals shoot up.
