It’s going to be a lot of fun with music, door prizes for coaches and competitors, concession stand (chicken strips, cheeseburgers, hamburgers, fries, nachos, popcorn, drinks, candy, pickles, hot dogs), 50/50 raffle every 2 hours, and a fun coaches shoot in between divisions!
Rules:
- Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time and pick up your packets at the check-in table when you enter.
- Shooters must be on the waiting line ready to start at the designated time.
- A competitor does not have to compete with a team to qualify for individual awards.
- Competitors registered with a team will automatically qualify for individual awards.
- A team is considered to have at least 12 archers (4 girls, 4 boys, 4 either boys or girls). If you want to bring more than 12, we will score the teams the same as they do in regionals and state by taking the top four girls’scores, top four boys’ scores and then next top four scores regardless of gender.
- All competitors can win individual awards even if their score was not included in the teams score.
- Awards will be given within 30 minutes after all scorecards are turned in for that division.
- We will shoot 4 ends of 5 arrows at 10 meters (1st end is practice/ no score round) and 4 ends of 5 arrows at 15 meters (1st end is practice/no score round).
- If a student has a bounce out, they may raise their hand and an arrow will be replaced.
- If an arrow is damaged, the archer can raise their hand to get that arrow replaced.
- To keep things moving, the competitors will not have to score arrows. There will be enough volunteers to score for them.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to help with the tournament in the areas of admissions, concession, scoring, lane judges, setup/cleanup, and/or check-in. Individuals interested in volunteering may contact Coach Stefanie Magee at (870) 310-1372 or stefanie.magee@smackover.net .
Donations Needed
Hosting a tournament takes a team effort.

We are expecting 100 participants and close to 150-200 spectators. A list of needed items are below.
