If your club is interested in holding a tournament, you will be required to register it with Archery NZ. Bear in mind there are different types of tournaments. For a schedule of the "main" tournaments held each year by the clubs and the organisation, you can view it under downloads. To review the types of tournaments, go to the "Guide to Tournaments" page.
Minor Tournaments should be registered with the Tournaments Registrar by filling out the Minor Tournaments form (https://forms.gle/gjLgbCakvVpLm3Y29). This includes the contact details of the senior affiliated member of Archery NZ and their ANZ number so that any queries can be sent their way.
Minor tournaments do not need to be approved. Once the form is sent, the tournament may be published online (ArcheryOSA) and advertised.
Once the tournament is finished, results must be published publicly (ArcheryOSA). To review the rules, scroll to the bottom of this page.
Major Tournaments need to be registered with the Tournaments Registrar. Click here to complete the Major or World Archery (WA) Star Registration form: https://forms.gle/shah4S3RhHhURA9a9
World Archery Registered tournaments are the same as Major, but with an added fee to World Archery. You can also claim World Archery badges and records from these types of events so that is always a benefit to your archers!
Any questions please email to [email protected].
Once you have completed your Tournament Registration Form and submitted it, you will need to set your event up in ArcheryOSA so that it will show on the Archery NZ Tournament Calendar. You can also run your entries through the system to streamline things.
Once the tournament is finished, results must be published publicly (ArcheryOSA). You must also submit the Tournament Completion Form.
