Gloucestershire Archery Society Team Selection
Gloucestershire Archery Society Team Selection for 2009 At its meeting of 11 March 2009, the GAS Management Committee agreed to the arrangements for the Senior County Team Selection for 2009. It confirmed that the objectives of the selection shoot system are:
• to be transparent and fair;
• to ensure that the Selection Committee has the maximum amount of information available;
• to produce the best team available on the day.
The system endeavours to ensure that those archers who wish to attend Record Status Events and/or who are selected for International Events are not penalised. Equally, there is sufficient flexibility for all archers (including those who organise tournaments) because scores from only two out of eight nominated are required and scores may be submitted from Record Status/International Events. As ever, the system is constrained by the need to notify GWAS of the team for the Inter County shoot by the end of August.
Selection Criteria
1	The GAS Senior County Team will be selected primarily on the basis of a ranking list produced from the four highest handicap scores from the eligible shoots at least two of which are from the list of nominated shoots.
2	For 2009, the nominated shoots will be: Cleve Archers’ April York/Hereford Black & Gold Archers’ Spring Shoot Bowmen of Minchinhampton’s June York/Hereford GWAS Championship Weekend at Dunster (either day) Cheltenham Archers’ July York/Hereford Tockington Archers’ July York/Hereford Black & Gold Archers’ August York/Hereford The GAS August York/Hereford.
3	The organisers of these shoots are requested to send a copy of the official tournament results to the County Records Officer as soon as possible after the event. The County Records Officer will endeavour to maintain a ranking list based on the results of these shoots.
4	Archers may submit scores obtained at Record Status/International events. The onus is on the archer to send the score(s) promptly to the CRO and must be sent no later than one week before the County Championships in August.
5	In addition, any archer who achieves GMB or MB in 2009 before the date of the County Championships shall be pre-selected. Any archer claiming pre-selection must notify the County Records Officer promptly of this achievement with supporting evidence of the scores achieved. In the event that pre-selection produces more archers than there are team places available in any particular discipline, then selection shall be on the basis of best handicap.
6	In the event of a tie for a place in the team, or should there be insufficient archers to make up the team required by GWAS, the Selection Committee is authorised to take any necessary decisions. In the case of the ranking list system failing to produce enough archers to fill all the places in the team, the Committee shall have the discretion to take into account scores for those archers who have competed in less than four eligible shoots. The responsibility for notifying the CRO of an archer’s results in these other tournaments rests solely with the archer concerned. Scores obtained at Club target days will not be considered.
7	For selection in 2009, scores submitted by individual archers must reach the CRO no later than one week before the County Championships in August.
8	This system will not apply to the selection of the team for the Junior Inter-Counties. Juniors wishing to be considered for the Senior team should comply with the above rules.

Hon. Chairman, Gloucestershire Archery Society
