A quick precis of the 'logical league'.

Preparing for the League 2010/11 - some initial information:

1 - The league is for pleasure for archers who are novice, improver and / or recreational.

2 - The round is limited to 3 dozen scoring arrows, but these MUST be shot as consecutive dozens at the same session. A short enough session that we should all have time to complete.

3 - Arrangements are made for limited shooting space (less than 20 yards).

4 - An archer may enter multiple times, but only for shooting different bow styles.

5 - No score limit cap has been set. Levels up to an equivalent Portsmouth '600' maximum are accepted.

6 - This league has been designed for individual archers and is not a 'team' league.

7 - You may enter the league at any time even if you are a 'beginner' from a course well after the October start date.

8 - The league covers FIVE months, October, November, December and January (as one), February and March. Due to holidays, school and venue closures etc, December and January will be covered as one month.

What do I need to do?

A - Register with me using the dnaa web site 'replies' email link or by telephone either as an individual OR, if you are entering for your club, for your members. This will allow me to insert members into the database in advance of the starting date.

- I need to know your name(s), club, sex (lady, gent, junior boy or girl), bow type and the division you think you best fit into. (See divisions below). I also need a contact email or telephone number as I will prompt for scores each month.

- A certificate is provided to all those who complete two or more months of the 'challenge' to allow new members to join in the league. If you do NOT wish to have a certificate then please let me know, otherwise it will be provided automatically.

B - On October 1st start recording scores for consecutive dozens shot.... either at a 60cm face no closer than 60 feet (20 yards) away, OR at a 40cm face no closer than 40 feet (13yards 2 feet) away. Please remember to only count your best three consecutive dozens and these must be from the same session where-ever it is.

C - Within the first seven (7) days of the following month send me your 'best' score(s). For season 2009 / 2010 I will prompt for scores if you have given me contact details.

D - I divide your score by 5 to give you your league points. If the remainder is 3 or more then you gain an extra point..... so keep trying right to the very last arrow!

E - Do the same for the following month and on throughout the winter season. This will be until the end of March so I should receive your last score before April 7th.

F - You can run this either as an individual OR as a club. I have no preference other than to keep the league moving. In the table below you should find the leagues named. Forget the Hi / Lo threshold as these are the 'trigger' point which determine if you are competing in the wrong league for your ability. The 'score range' shows your anticipated scores based on three dozen arrows.

Divisions:

This shows seven named divisions each with an upper and lower limit.

The bottom line shows the ‘margin’ or ‘threshold’ set for the division.

For example in the ‘Evesham’ league, repeated scores above 229 would result in promotion to the ‘’Crecy’ league. Or repeated scores below 181 would result in placement into the ‘Hastings’ league. Scores within 187 to 222 would be classed as normal.
