The 2024 NASP BC Provincial Tournament is going to be held as a hybrid model, with participants competing on site or virtually. Schools competing virtually will get to shoot in their own gyms or fields and submit their scores via the NASP Tournament App. Shots will be taken from both 10-meter and 15-meter distances. Our goal is to offer a competition format to students where everyone is able to compete, no matter what part of the province they are located in. There are no qualifiers for this tournament.

When registering for an in-person team, please remember to select IN-PERSON flights not the virtual flight.

COMPETITION STRUCTURE

Tournament flights will consist of 8 “ends”. Ends are rounds where archers shoot 5 arrows at their targets. Archers will shoot 4 ends at 10 meters and 4 ends at 15 meters. At each distance, there will be 1 practice end and 3 ends for score. Coaches and instructors will be required to read and watch all virtual tournament facilitation documents and videos prior to running their tournament flights. Should any questions arise, the NASP BC team will be happy to support.

TEAM REQUIREMENTS

Schools must register at minimum 12 students and maximum of 16. Only the top 12 scores will be taken from each school team. All teams are co-ed. There must be a minimum of 4 male and 4 female students on each team. There will be two divisions:

Middle/Elementary (Grades 4-8)
High School (Grades 9-12)

Please note: Students who fall in between grades can be registered at a higher grade level to make a school team. The rule of thumb is “archers can always shoot above their age level but never below”. For example, if a team consists of five 8th graders, three 9th graders, two 10th graders, and two 12th graders. The two 8th graders can be registered as 9th grades so the team can compete in the high school division. Rather than a school having to scramble to create a second (middle/elementary) team so the 8th graders can compete.

Any active NASP school in British Columbia can enter. The tournament will take place from April 29 to May 11. (approximately two school week). This is to allow teams time and flexibility to book gyms and/or fields to run their tournament shoots (aka “flights”).

HOW TO SUBMIT SCORES

After registering for the tournament, coaches will be emailed a payment link, as well as a PDF copy of the tournament waiver that each student must fill out and send (via mail or email) back to NASP BC staff.

NASP BC staff will also mail each coach scorecards. This year we ask that all teachers use the NASP Tournament App to ensure a more efficient scoring process for NASP BC staff. Please only use the scorecards if you are unable to use the app. Scorecards must be either mailed or scanned back for submission.

During tournament, archers will shoot a total of 8 ends (i.e. rounds of 5 arrows). There will be 4 ends at 10 meters and 4 at 15 meters. The first end at each distance will be for practice. The others will be scored. Teams must use the NASP Tournaments Apps to verify shots and score. Click here to download app scoring instructions. Scorers must be registered and have watched the NASP line official scoring video.
