Any OAS club in good standing with a current club membership can sanction a local event with USA Archery. A “local” event sanction with USA Archery simply means a state or national championship will not be awarded. Local competitions can include schools from your district, across the state or other states and are a great way for clubs to fundraise and prepare for state and national competition. The format of the event will be up to the host club.
Optional Formats:
Middle School- Program/Elite Men/Women
High School- JV/Varsity Men/Women
Middle School- Program/Elite Men/Women 1-3rd Place
High School- JV/Varsity Men/Women 1-3rd Place

Top 3 Teams comprised of 3 Archers of the same gender and same bow type. Teams Rounds at state championships may either be determined by calculating cumulative points (see below) or completion of match play.
The OVERALL OAS State Championship Awards shall be calculated using a cumulative point system based on final placement in each event (individual championship round and team round) with the following point distribution:
| Place | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 10 |
| 2nd | 8 |
| 3rd | 6 |
| 4th | 5 |
| 5th | 4 |
| 6th | 3 |
| 7th | 2 |
| 8th | 1 |
All four Elite and Varsity divisions (Barebow, Recurve, Middle School Basic Compound, High School Compound), male and female, will be counted toward the Overall State Championship Award. Calculation is total cumulative points (individual and team points combined) of each division.
Per division, the top three finishing scores from each school will be combined. The resulting combined score will be ranked amongst the rest of the scores in the respective divisions (Barebow/Recurve/Basic Compound/Compound, Men/Women).
Combined Team Ranking placement points will contribute to the cumulative calculation with the following point distribution:
| Place | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 10 |
| 2nd | 8 |
| 3rd | 6 |
| 4th | 5 |
| 5th | 4 |
| 6th | 3 |
| 7th | 2 |
| 8th | 1 |
Each school is allowed a maximum of three archers earning points for individual events and one team in team cumulative points calculation or team event. If a school has more than three archers finish in the top eight in the individual event, only the top three finishes will be included for purposes of point calculations and archers from other institutions will be moved up in points placement (Example: High School A has finishers in 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th places. The 7th place archer from High School A would not receive points toward team championship calculation, the archer in 8th place would receive 7th place points, and the archer in 9th place would receive 8th place points).
If the Team Round is hosted, archers/teams in preceding matches who did not advance are ranked within the round in which they lost, (i.e. quarterfinals ranked 5th-8th) then by the total score of the last match. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by the highest number of total 10s shot in the preceding match. If still tied, the highest number of 9s will be used to break the tie. Should the archers/teams remain tied, the combined ranking points of all tied positions will be added together and divided by the number of archers/teams in the tied positions.
Example: If fifth and sixth place remain tied, (4 + 3) / 2 = 3.5 points each.
If the Team Round is hosted, archers/teams in preceding matches who did not advance are ranked within the round in which they lost, (i.e. quarterfinals ranked 5th-8th) then by set points from the preceding match. If tied with set points, archers/teams are then ranked by the total raw score from the last match. If still tied, the highest number of 10s will be used to break the tie. If still tied, the highest number of 9s will be used to break the tie. Should the archers/teams remain tied, the combined ranking points of all the tied positions will be added together and divided by the number of archers/teams in the tied positions.
Example: If fifth and sixth place remain tied, (4 + 3) / 2 = 3.5 points each.
Overall State Championships will be determined by the highest cumulative points total for all events (individual and team). Should a tie occur, the school with the highest number of first place finishes across individual and team events will be declared the winner. Should a tie remain, the school with highest number of second place finishes will be declared the winner. Should a tie remain, then the school with highest number of third place finishes will be declared the winner. Should a tie still exist, those schools will share the team state championship title as co-state champions.
