County Team     2010 Update 

Important update 27-01-2010 from Team Captain

No definitive news yet on whether we will have the County Fita or Champs as we do not have a ground yet.

Because of this selection for the first two matches against Notts and Lincs will be made from 2 out of the 3 selection shoots that are confirmed namely KMAC (25-04), Bowmen of Glen (09-05) and LAOFAC (16-05). Individual notified scores from other competitions may be taken into account for the Lincs match if received by the TC no later than one week before the Lincs match.

Forthcoming County Matches    Thoresby 2009 Pictures

Welcome to the County Team Selection Page.  On this Page you will find the steps for Selection into the County team.

All archers affiliated through L&RCAA are eligible to represent the county.

There are 4 county selection shoots at the beginning of each outdoor season. This year these are :-

  1. 25th April KMAC FITA (Senior)
  2.  BOGAS Rose York / Hereford (Senior & Junior)  (Date to be confirmed for 2010)
  3. 16th May LAOFAC UKRS York/Hereford (Senior & Junior)
  4. 24th May County FITA  (Senior & Junior)  (Date to be confirmed for 2010)

Senior Archers who wish to be considered for the First County Match must shoot 3 of the 4 selection shoots. Juniors must shoot 2 of the 3.

Archers who have attained the status of Grand Master Bowmen (GMB) in the last outdoor season will automatically be selected for the first County Match.  If this is the case please let the Team Captain know. 

L&RCAA archers are ranked according to their position in the selection shoot after visitor scores have been taken out. 1 point for first place, 2 points for second place, 3 for third and so on. The best three scores are then totalled and the archers with the lowest number of points are selected for the first county shoot. (Remember 3 of the 4 shoots must be shot).  

For the remaining county matches, including the Senior Inter-Counties Match, (Thoresby Trophy , Bradgate Trophy and Longbow team) the selection process is widened to include archers who did not shoot the required selection shoots.  Selection is then based on scores achieved in competitive 12 dozen rounds at an open competition shot under GNAS/FITA rules (under special circumstances a club shoot may be taken into consideration). The archer must submit his/her score to the Team Captain who will bring this to the attention of the selection committee, which is :-

Please take note that the Team Captain keeps a record of all archers scores for the outdoor season, but the responsibility is YOURS to make sure that the Team Captain gets them.   In the case of competitions shot outside of the county it is especially important that the scores are given to the Team Captain.
