Entry information
We recommend that captains and archers log into their accounts ahead of the opening date to ensure details of all archers are up to date, and that membership is valid. All entries are to be submitted and paid for via Sport 80. A waiting list will open as soon as the event is filled. If a space opens up for you, you will be sent a link to accept and pay for your space. You will have 48 hours to do so before your space is offered to the next archer on the list.
Eligibility
This event is for novice archers. NEUAL uses BUCS’ definition of a novice.
To enter the Novice category, you must meet both of these conditions:
1. You started shooting on or after 1st September 2024.
2. You have never had insurance with ANY Archery Governing Body before this.
Any archer who is found to be in violation of this guideline will not be permitted to participate, and their entry fee will be forfeit. If it is discovered after the close of the competition, the final results booklet will be adjusted, and the archer may be instructed to return any awards received. Clubs may be penalised, for example with a deduction of NEUAL points, at the discretion of the NEUAL president.
NEUAL events are primarily “closed events”, exclusively for student archers. Entry will first be opened to students. If you book a student ticket you may be asked to provide evidence that you are a student. If you cannot satisfy the tournament organiser that you are a current student your entry may be cancelled without appeal.
Assistance
It is the responsibility of the individual archer and club captain to ensure that the organisers are aware of any special requirements a participant may have. If you require an agent, it is the archer’s responsibility to provide this. If you are unable to organise an agent, please contact the tournament organiser.
Data collection
In accordance with GDPR, NEUAL has a lawful basis to process user data. We have a legitimate interest in collecting, using, and sharing archers’ data with tournament organisers, scoring systems, and other competitors, clubs, counties, regional, and national bodies. Some information may also be published in documents or lists relating to the event, and at a schedule decided by the organisers. These include your name, gender (AGAB and GI), bow style, date of birth, round, disability information, email address, contact numbers, club, county, region, and any AGB-assigned codes for this information.
Cancellations and refunds
Cancellations may be permitted prior to the entry closing date. In the event of a cancellation, the entrant or captain may request a refund. NEUAL may issue a refund if a request is received by email to the tournament organiser before the entry closing date. No refunds will be permitted after the entry closing date. In the unusual event that NEUAL cancels an event, all entries will be refunded. Refunds will be made to the original payment method. If an entry is cancelled for any reason, the Sport 80 processing fee (4.8%) and Stripe processing fee (1.5% +20p) cannot be refunded.
Use of likeness
Please note that filming and photography will be taking place for posterity and promotional purposes. The pictures made are likely to appear online. If you would prefer not to be photographed, please let the photographers know.
Smoking and vaping
No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the building. For information on the permitted smoking locations, please contact the sports centre information desk on arrival.
Parking
Parking is limited outside the sports centre. Please give due consideration for spaces reserved for people with limited mobility. Consider carsharing to reduce emissions and travel cost.
Conduct
NEUAL strives to have a welcoming and friendly atmosphere at all levels of competition, and for everyone to leave having enjoyed their day’s competition. We welcome encouragement and cheering in support of athletes, in a respectful sporting manner. Examples of poor sporting manner include the purposeful wrong calling of arrows, and shouting loudly when an opponent is at full draw. If you feel anyone is behaving in an inappropriate manner, inform either the chair of judges (CoJ), or the tournament organiser (TO). Both the CoJ and TO are empowered to ask people to change their behaviour or leave the venue.
