COVID-19 Protocols:  We are taking every precaution to operate a safe tournament event with the protocols provided.    

• Archers will be spaced two archers per target, shooting one at a time (A/B format), with targets adequately spaced from each other.  Archers will be asked to remain at least 6 feet apart at all times. 

• Archers will be welcome to enter the field no earlier than one hour prior to their assigned shooting time, when informed it is safe to do so.  Archers and spectators will be asked to leave as soon as possible following the completion of shooting sessions to allow for adequate sanitizing of shared-touch areas and to ensure no overlap in attendance.  Archers may only be at the venue during the designated shooting time for their division.  

• There will be additional sanitizing stations throughout the venue. While high touch areas will be sanitized regularly, archers are encouraged to take care and sanitize often. 

• To prevent groups gathering after the competition rounds, staff will collect scorecards at the target bale.  

• Archers, spectators, and support persons will be required to participate in a screening prior to entering the field venue. The screening will ask about common COVID-19 symptoms and exposure concerns. The tournament staff will require archers, spectators, and support persons to consent to have their temperature taken by a contactless device before entering the field. Upon completion of screening and a recorded temperature under 100.4 the individual will be given a wrist band to be worn while on the field. Failure to do so will result in removal from the tournament and the field. 

• Attendees should bring their own masks and will be required to follow local PPE mandates.  Additional masks will be available for purchase, and masks will be provided to the staff and support personnel.  

• Masks/face coverings may be disposable or reusable.  At this time, based on guidance from health authorities, neck gaitors, triangle bandanas open on the bottom, face shields, face coverings containing valves, mesh material (or material with holes of any kind) are not acceptable face coverings.

• Archers will not be required to wear masks while actively shooting but will be worn when waiting, and scoring.  At the end of the tournament, archers should clean up and sanitize themselves.  

• Spectators and support personnel are required to wear masks while on the premises,  This applies to all adults and to children 2 years of age and older. 

• Hand washing stations will be available as well as sanitizing stations.

• Scoring will be double scoring on paper only and each archer will be assigned a personal clipboard.  

• Athletes will submit the scorecards into a wagon at their target at the conclusion of the day.

• Pre-Tournament announcements will be sent via email through the registration software (Sport80) and any additional announcements will be made via PA system located at the Director of Shooting area. 

• Everyone who enters the facility will be required to sign a waiver. The waiver will be sent via email and also be available at the entrance for those who do not have a copy at the gate. .

• Any patron, who refuses to adhere to the safety protocols after one warning is asked to leave the property immediately.

• Questions and concerns may still be brought to the Director of Shooting area which will have a plexiglass barrier between staff and attendees.
