 6. Championnat National De Tir À L’arc 2001-Coupe Fred Usher Nouveau Format Pour La Composition Des Équipes

Afin de promouvoir la participation des Équipes Provinciales lors du Championnat National qui se tiendra à Winnipeg cet été, la Fédération Canadienne des Archers propose une nouvelle méthode de composition pour les Équipes participantes à la Coupe Fred Usher.

Présentement, les règlements rédigeant la sélection des membres de l’Équipe pour la Coupe Fred Usher sont obscurs, difficiles d’interprétation et maintes fois, les provinces ont de la difficulté à trouver des d’archers qui rencontrent tous les critères résultant ainsi à une composition disparate des équipes.

Pour 2001, la FCA utilisera un système de "points bonus" au lieu d’un "système par quota".

Voici les condition d’appartenance à une Équipe:

1) Archers de tous âges, sexes ou divisions (recourbé ou arc à poulie).

2) Tous les membres doivent résider dans la même province.

3) Chaque membre de l’Équipe doit tirer dans la catégorie(âge) et la division

(recourbé ou arc à poulie) dans laquelle il/elle s’est inscrite pour la FITA.

Le pointage d’Équipe sera calculé selon le total de tous ses membres PLUS les points bonus selon la composition de l’Équipe.

Les points bonus sont comme suit :

a) 5 points pour chaque archer féminin ou archer en fauteuil roulant

b) 7 points pour chaque archer de division recourbé

c) 4 points pour chaque archer de la division poulie aux doigts

d) 2 points pour chaque archer Junior ou Maître

e) 5 points pour chaque archer Cadet ou Cub(benjamin)

Un membre individuel de l’Équipe peut valoir plusieurs points de bonus(eg : une femme de division recourbé = 13)

L’allocation des points bonus est basée sur une analyses des pointages tirés lors des deux derniers Championnat Canadien. Les provinces pourront alors sélectionner leurs équipes en fonction de la performance des archers dans la division et catégorie respective. Par exemple, un cadet instinctif peut apporter autant de points bonus à l’Équipe que tout autre membre de cette province.

Si ce système de points bonus connaît du succès à Winnipeg, il sera adopté pour les futurs Championnats Nationaux. Des modifications peuvent être nécessaires et seront alors apportés. Pour tout commentaire ou approbation de ces nouvelles propositions, n’hésitez pas à contacter Greg Durward ou Bruce Savage.

New Fred Usher Cup Team Composition At 2001 National Archery Championships

The FCA wishes to announce a new way to increase provincial team participation during the Fred Usher Cup competition this summer in Winnipeg.

Presently, the rules for selecting team members for the Fred Usher Cup are difficult to follow and often teams have a hard time finding a combination of shooters which satisfy the requirements, resulting in odd composite teams.

For 2001, FCA will use a "bonus system" rather than a "quota system". A team may consist of archers of any age or sex and shooting in any equipment division. All team members must be from the same province. Each team member must shoot in the age and division in which he/she registered for the FITA target event.

A team's score will be calculated as its actual score PLUS the following bonus points depending on the make-up of the team:

Add:

5 points for each female or wheelchair shooter

7 points for each recurve shooter

4 points for each compound fingers shooter

2 points for each Junior or Master

5 points for each Cadet or Cub

A single team member can get more than one kind of bonus points (eg a female recuve shooter = 13).

The bonus points are based on an analysis of scores shot at the last two Canadian Championships. They are designed so that provinces will select team members based on how well an archer performs within his/her age/sex/division. For example, a Barebow cadet can contribute as much to a team as any other team member, when his/her bonus points are included.

If this bonus system is successful in Winnipeg, it will be used in all future Championships, with modifications if necessary. To add your input or support to this new proposal, contact both Greg Durward and Bruce Savage.
