ADDENDUM 1.0 to 0491 Victorian State Team Policy This addendum provides additional information relating to the Victorian State Team Policy for any given period. This addendum will be updated from time to time and year to year.
VRR - Victorian Ranking Rounds
Refer to the 0491 Victorian State Team Policy
VRR90/720 - being 720 arrows on a 122cm face at 90m
All AA Clout rounds - replacing what have previously been called VQRE Clout in our RGB
Use of AA720 & WA720 rounds for Victorian State Youth Team Selection - MQS at maximum distance
When moving to a longer distance as they change age groups a youth archer must achieve the MQS for the AA prescribed maximum distances for the nominated age group, to be eligible for NYAC selection. Youth archers can compete in their current age group for the majority of tournament/QRE instances prior to the AA prescribed 1-January ‘Archers Birthday’.
These ‘AA maximum distance rounds’ must be shot at registered QRE/Tournaments or VQE and are as follows
Joey to cub male & female - AA40/720 round
Cub to intermediate male & female - AA50/720 round Intermediate to cadet female - WA60/720
Intermediate to cadet male - WA70/720 Cadet female to 20 & Under - WA70/720 Cadet male to 20 & Under - VRR90/720
As guidance an archer submitting a 720 round for their next year maximum distance, should shoot another 720 on the same day so that the day has 144 arrows shot by them. That is a Double 720.
VQE - Victorian Qualifying Event
Previously within AV events called VQRE were held for clout, these are renamed and superseded as set out below.
A club may apply to the AV Board in writing via the AV Secretary to hold a VQE, stating reason/s and all details of the event (much like when applying to AA for a QRE). For a VQE to be held it must have the majority approval of the board and have such agreement, if granted provided in writing by the AV Secretary to the host club.
An application for a VQE is most likely to be made when any/all of the following apply:
1. The ‘maximum distance’ rounds from above paragraph are sought by candidate archers and the 4 week notice period to bundle them with a QRE/Tournament cannot be met
2. Clout scores are sought
A VQE is not a substitute for a QRE or Tournament and cannot be used for regular AA & WA rounds for inclusion in the STR.
A VQE must be run to QRE standard (the exception being that no event check list is sent to AA, instead it is sent to the AV State Recorder). Regardless of a judges attendance no AV or AA records can be claimed (we have QRE and Tournaments that cover that opportunity).
Important Dates
The non-degrading of scores shot at Victorian State Championships only applies for events on and after 1st June 2017 and only when they are shot within the relevant qualification period.
