USA Archery has officially announced, later than expected due to incorrect National Target results, the 2009 United States Archery Team (USAT) and Junior USAT. The Senior USAT consists of the top eight male and top eight female recurve and compound archers in the country. Junior USAT consists of the top five male and top five female recurve archers and the top five male and top five female compound archers in the Junior division (including the year of their 18th birthday), as well as the top-ranked Cadet (including the year of their 16th birthday) archers in each of the four divisions.
There are a number of requirements an archer must fulfill in order to qualify for USAT. Only members of USA Archery are eligible. Scores at the National Target Championships, as well as, other selected tournaments rank archers. The archer must also achieve a predetermined minimum qualifying score in order to be eligible for USAT.
Junior USAT members have similar qualifications. However, ranking scores are achieved at the JOAD Outdoor National Championships along with selected other JOAD tournaments. Juniors must also achieve a predetermined minimum qualifying score.
Ties were broken according to the tie breaker rule. The ranking round score from the U.S. National Target Championship was used for Senior USAT and the ranking round score from JOAD Nationals was used for Junior and Cadet USAT.
A USAT contract will be sent out to each individual in the next few weeks.
