So that is it for another Teams Postal Season. I would like people’s feedback on the rule changes we did this year as I am not sure if they assisted in reducing defaults, but I see there is still a few in February.
Those rule changes being
I know Mountain Green used the second change on several occasions, though our youth archers preferred to shoot the full Canadian.
If you have any suggested rule changes please let me know and I will put them out for a vote. I would like to suggest we make the February round a two month round like Dec/Jan and hence have the final round in March as Feb is a short month and is flat out, especially for the Field Clubs.
So on to the results!
Starting with Division 7, this was the most competitive Division this year with only 3 points between first and last, but Grey Goose managed a clean sweep to take it out.
Division 6 was taken out by Trentham, also with a clean sweep.
Division 5 was a tight competition between Ellesmere A and Lakeview A both with 12 points, so the winner, decided on total points, is Ellesmere.
Division 4 ended with another win to Rosebank, being the fourth year in a row of them proceeding up the divisions, lookout Division 1 in three years.
Division 3 was another tight competition given 4 teams scored over 11,000 points and both River Glade B and Timaru A scored 14 so it also came down to points scored and River Glade sneaked in.
Southland managed a clean sweep of Division 2 so will be going the top division next year.
Finally Congrats to Gisborne on taking out the Trophy this year, in another tightly fought competition at the top.

Hi All
So here are the results for this years Teams Postal League, sorry for the wait.
So starting at Division 6
This had been dominated by Lakeview A up until February when they unfortunately had a bit much on and defaulted which left the door open for Marangai B to sneak ahead and take the number one position. So Lakeview got second with Randwick C in third. But don't dismay Lakeview you will be going up to Div 5 as well due to an extra gap in the draw in Division 3
In Division 5 Rosebank dominated throughout the season with a clean sweep, with Christchurch C coming in second and Mountain Green C third.
Division 4 also saw a clean sweep this time by Marangai A, But with Mt Green B hot on their tails and Randwick B in Third. But worth noting Marangui A got the highest accumulated score outside division 1 and 2 coming in 8th in the total scores stakes(see below).
Division 3 was taken out by Randwick A with Timaru A in second and Whakatane in third.
So now Division 2 and this was a battle between Greenwood and Mt Green A with it coming down to the final month when Mt Green beating them to equalise the total point s at 14 but winning on total score having 12517 points to Greenwoods 12153. Worth noting Mt Greens score was the 2rd highest in the League.
And Finally Division 1 and the league winners.
Auckland A got the highest total score of 12571, but unfortunately for them lost their most crucial match against Christchurch A, so congratulations go to Christchurch A Team and the League trophy is heading South to Christchurch.
Here are come other stats that people may find interesting.
Top Teams Accumulated Scores through all divisions. The following are the teams that scored over 12000 points in order with their Division and Average. Note that if Lakeview A in division 6 scored 10023 but that was with one default in February so if you disregard this, there average was 2505.7 which would have placed them in Third on the Average Table

Finally, Watch this space, as I am going to send out some rule changes for teams to vote on later this year. First one being to allow Jama divisions up to Intermediate to shoot a Short Canadian (Not Justin Beber), which is three shorter distances. And two other areas that need addressing are the problem with Feburary being hard for teams to get shoots in, due to a number of reasons including it being a short month and a of of events on that month. Also the other area we are looking at is when you get very good teams enter in and whitewashing teams in the lower divisions on their way up, which doesn't make it much fun for the lower divisions. This is probably a little more controversial as I have heard a wide opinions on this.
So have a great Winter, and you will here from me in the next couple of months.
Cheers

Here are the results for the October Round of the Archery NZ Teams Postal League.
There are some close results especially in Division 2 and it looks like the Battle between Auckland A and Christchurch A at the top is going to be another long and hard one this year with only 2 points difference in their first Rounds. Also good to see some great scores from Lakeview, but this highlighting again the issue of having really good teams starting at the bottom making those lower divisions unbalanced with the need to look at a fair way push them into a higher division earlier than they would. Perhaps these good teams can be slotted into gaps left from teams that have withdrawn, but at the discretion of the Coordinator. Lakeview A getting the third highest score of the month at 2539 for example really doesn’t help the competition in Division 6. Just food for thought.
If everyone can double check their Scores as this putting this together is a manual process and there are chances of me making mistakes.
Speaking of which, I have to apologise to Division 3 as I missed that Gisborne had only entered 1 team this year, so I will count the remaining matches against Gisborne B as a win and teams due to play them will have a bye.
Just a reminder to get your results in by the 6th of the following month so I can get these results out promptly

Hi One and All
The Summer Outdoor Teams Postal League has begun !! See the Draw HERE
Welcome to Lakeview with two teams and good to see Geraldine and Marangai adding extra teams But unfortunately Dunedin, Rotorua, Suva and Wanganui have not entered this year and a couple of clubs have reduced their number of teams.This leaves us with six full divisions which should see some great competition. Don't forget to have a revision of the rules which are HERE
Can clubs please us the scoresheet which you can download HERE for returning scores. This makes a big difference to the times it takes to processing results. If you don't have excel then I can send you a word version of this.
Can you please check the draw and let me know if there are any mistakes.
Good Luck Everyone
