BC Winter Games Zone Trials info

All competitors must be BC Archery members and must wear an armguard (as per the Technical Package). A competitor may attend a Trials outside their home zone. An Athlete Info form must be completed and submitted prior to shooting official scoring arrows. A competitor may attend more than one Trials event, however only one score will count. The competitor must "declare" their intent to submit their score by submitting their Athlete Info Form prior to shooting any scoring arrows--if they do not wish that day's score to count, do not submit the Athlete Info Form. This decision must be made at the beginning of the event NOT after shooting the score.
