2008 GA State Indoor Tournament morning winners! Results posted on GAA
--------------------------------------------------------- Rules for the Indoor Nationals have changed Per Kenny Compton, as follows: .There will be only 2 official practice ends just prior to scoring. This will happen nationwide. However, we are allowed to provide a practice range if we want to. I have arranged with the Conyers Rec Department to have the shuffleboard courts removed for the weekend of the Nationals. That way we can set up some targets in the back part of the room for practice. Friday, Feb. 29th at 6:30PM is the first session of Nationals. I have scheduled to have the building open at 2PM so that I can set up the competition range and the practice range. Kent will help me set things up provided he doesn't have a job by then. If anyone else is available to help set up, we would greatly appreciate the help. Kent and I will spend the last half of the GA Archery Team meeting this Saturday getting target butts, stands, bow racks, etc. out of the trailer in preparation for the Indoor State tournaments. Also, since I'm setting up and running 4 tournaments over the next few weeks, State JOAD Indoor, GAA State Indoor, JOAD Nationals, & NAA Nationals, I was hoping someone would be willing to help me by getting the awards for the Indoor Nationals. It would be a big help to me if I didn't have to worry about that while organizing everything else. Registration: Right now registration is going slow for all the up coming indoor tournaments, so please encourage the folks in your clubs to send in their registrations. If you have any question please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Kenny kcompton@atlantagirlsschool.org ---------------------------------
