Thank you for your interest in hosting the NFAA National Indoor League! You are welcome to promote the National League alongside your local league and encourage archers to sign up for both. Best of all, there are no fees or forms associated with hosting, and you do NOT need to register your League with the NFAA. The only requirements to being a host location include abiding by the NFAA indoor range and round rules set forth in the NFAA Constitution and By-Laws, Article IV, Section E (pp 54-56).

PROMOTION

We made it easy for you to promote the League locally by providing various marketing materials to help spread the word! Download these resources to help you get started.

REBATES

The NFAA is offering rebates to host clubs in the amount of $25/adult and $20/junior participants. No form needs to be completed by the host to receive this rebate. Rebate checks will be mailed to the address on file within 2 weeks of the National Indoor League completion. Hosting clubs may also charge their own fee to the archer to further aid in covering expenses.

For a host to be automatically eligible for these rebates, all of the following must be true:

• The archer declares the location as his/her home range on the scorecard submission form.
• The shop/club has an active NFAA charter/license through the duration of the League.
• The shop/club has an active NFAA Indoor Range Certificate through the duration of the League. If a host has an expired Indoor Range Certificate, it must be reinstated no later than the end of Session 1 on Feb 12, 2023 to be eligible for rebates.
  • NOTE: The Indoor Range Certificate is a separate designation from the charter/license and requires a range inspection. Click HERE to learn more about the range certification process and complete the online inspection form.

LEAGUE FORMAT AND SCORECARD SUBMISSION

The National League will consist of 12 weeks, broken into two 6-week sessions. The archer’s best 4 scores from each session will count toward their final National League placement.

Session 1: Jan 1 – Feb 12, 2023. Archers will submit a minimum of 4 Vegas rounds, consisting of 10 rounds of 3 arrows for a maximum total of 300. Xs will be used as tie-breakers. All scorecards for Session 1 must be submitted no later than Feb 17, 2023.

Session 2: Feb 13 – Mar 26, 2023. Archers will submit a minimum of 4 NFAA 300 rounds (blue/white face), consisting of 12 rounds of 5 arrows for a maximum total of 300. Xs will be used as tie-breakers. All scorecards for Session 2 must be submitted no later than Mar 31, 2023.

Archers will shoot their rounds at any 20-yard range around the country. If an archer’s “home” club, as designated on his/her scorecard submission form, holds a current NFAA charter and current NFAA Indoor Range Certificate, that club will be eligible to receive a rebate. Read more about rebates on the Host Information tab.

Archers are responsible for submitting their scorecards via the online form linked HERE. All scorecards for Session 1 must be submitted no later than Feb 17. All scorecards for Session 2 must be submitted no later than Mar 31. Archers are encouraged to submit their weekly scorecards as their rounds are completed during the League. Updated placements based on each archer’s total scores will be posted throughout the event. Actual scores will not be posted until the League has been completed and all scores have been submitted.

Archers must submit all 8 scores (best 4 Vegas rounds and best 4 NFAA 300 rounds) to be given a final ranking and be eligible for awards.

Important!!!! Once the scorecard form is completed for the first time, the archer will receive a confirmation email. The link provided in this confirmation email must be used to edit that same form for subsequent scorecard submissions. Each archer must use a unique email address and the same form for the duration of the League. 

ROUND AND SCORING RULES

All rounds will follow NFAA rules as stated in the NFAA Constitution and By-Laws, Article IV, Section E (pp 54-56).

Cubs will shoot at 10 yards for the NFAA 300 rounds (blue/white face) and 20 yards for the Vegas rounds.

Any standardized scorecard can be used to record arrow values. Archers are also able to print off the sample scorecards provided at the link HERE.

The archer plus at least ONE witness must sign the bottom of each scorecard to be considered valid.

For all NFAA rounds, an arrow shaft need only touch the line to be counted in the area of next higher value.

EQUIPMENT RULES

All rounds will follow NFAA shooting styles and equipment rules as stated in the NFAA By-Laws, Article II (pp 29-34).

AWARDS

National Field League Champion belt buckles (see image below!) are awarded to the top finisher in each Championship Flight. 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the Championship Flights are given National Field League medals. Awards are also given to the top 3 finishers in each subsequent flight.

ACHIEVEMENT PRIZES

Vegas and NFAA 300 round keychains are available for purchase during the League or after its completion. To purchase, visit the NFAA store linked HERE.
