Overview
We have made changes to our outdoor tournament formats this year. This will be the only event this summer that has elimination rounds. Thank you!
Striving for that gold medal, top three finish, or personal best is what tournament play is all about, and we cannot wait to see you on the field with us. The Lancaster Archery Academy is holding our fourth Annual Summer Sizzle Star FITA tournament on July 13 and 14. You can register online above by clicking the red 'Reserve' button. All archers will be required to have a current USA Archery Membership. WA/USA Archery Rules and Dress Code will be in effect.
Once each division has completed their qualification round, we will combine age classes and genders into six larger divisions: Men's Recurve, Women's Recurve, Men's Compound, Women's Compound, Men's Barebow, and Women's Barebow. The top 8 finishers in each of these combined divisions based on qualification score will be eligible to shoot head-to-head elimination matches for prize money. Archers will shoot elimination rounds on the same day as their qualifier round at their standard distance and according to World Archery rules. For instance, a Bowman Women's Barebow shooting at 30M may shoot against a Masters Women's Barebow shooting at 50M if they both ranked in the top 8 for Barebow overall. Recurve and Barebow matches will follow the Set System. Compound matches will be based on total score.
The tournament will be held at the Lancaster Archery Academy's Archery Park, which is located off the rear parking lot of the Lancaster Archery Supply Pro Shop, 2195-A Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602.
