The Winter League is a seasonal competition (currently run by Palacerigg Field Archers).

It comprises a total of four monthly shoots, one for each month from October 2019 to January 2020.

To take part, each archer is required to shoot one session within each month, the scoring of which is to be overseen by a nominated Club Official who will return all scorecards by the end of each month.

A link to the entry form and scorecard can be found on this page.

Any queries, please email Palacerigg Field Archers.

Full rules are as follows :

1. WIFAC Rules of Shooting will apply.
2. The Standard IFAA Indoor Face will be shot for all styles of bows.
   • 6 ends of 5 arrows at 20 yds (10 Yards for Cubs) with scoring being 5, 4, 3, 2,1, miss, shall be shot.
   • X Count should be done in the event of a tie.
   • 2 ends for sighting may be shot. This shall be done in one sitting.
   • Archers can elect to use a 5 Spot Face.
3. The score for the archer's best three months will be compared to that of the others in the category and the winner will be decided by the highest cumulative total.
4. If an archer fails to shoot a match, they must still return their score sheet marked “not shot”.  If an archer intends to withdraw please inform the League Organiser as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delay in issuing the results to other clubs.
5. Matches may be shot at any time during the month, BUT they are not to be shot a second time in order to better the score!  A nominated Club Official will be required to check the score & to sign at the bottom of each score sheet to this effect.
6. Scores are to be recorded on official score sheets and scores must be signed by each archer and witnessed by the same official as in Rule 5. All score sheets must be double checked and signed by a Club Official to eliminate mistakes and any alterations must also be signed by that same Official in red. All score sheets should be kept by the Club Official for six weeks after the end of the tournament so that if there is a dispute the original score sheets can be produced upon request. Failure to produce the original score sheets will automatically forfeit the dispute.
7. Completed results sheets must be received by the League Organiser by end of the month. These will be sent by email. Under no circumstances whatsoever will results be accepted if they arrive after the last day of the month for that match period. If for some reason you are late shooting your match then you can email your results through to the League Organiser and send confirmation on the usual results sheets as soon as possible.
8. Emailed result sheets must be signed off by the nominated Club Official.
9. Matches may be shot indoors, or outdoors if no indoor facilities are available.
10. The League Organiser will rule in the event of a dispute.
