As with last year's league you may submit as many scores as you like and the system will automatically select the best score from each person for the league. Divisions have been updated, a full list of promotions and relegations is available on the website: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/eleague/ If you were signed up to the e-league last year then you can just log in with the same details you did last year and start entering scores. If you were not signed up last year and would like to then go to the website and click on 'Register'. If you were signed up last year and the previous records officer has absconded without telling anyone the password, please email eleague-organiser@srcf.ucam.org and we'll sort it out. I hope to see a close competition this year, Matt | ||

| Hi I was a member of your club a few years back, before I joined Neherhall archers. Having not shot for a couple of years I'm finally getting round to selling my kit. Although it's a couple of years old I've only shot it 3 or 4 times, so everything is pretty much as new (although there is a small scrath on the riser). Here's what I have for sale: Hoyt Aero Tec Riser, RH, Fade Red, Long 25” Hoyt Vector Foam Limbs, Long 34lbs Arten Olympic Sight Beiter Centraliser Longrod, 33” 3 Tuner, Red with endcap Spig rest; Beiter clicker; Shibuya Button and rather old set of 8 XX75’s (2013), but they are straight(ish); also included will be my old county case (broken handle and very tatty) and all my other bits and pieces. I'm asking £600 for everything above, if you are interested drop me an email. Many thanks Michael | ||

| Topic - busa | ||
| very well done to cambridge. I hope the organisers will never be so short sighted as to let the BUSA finals clash with a major University final. The top talents of University archery were severely missed not just by EUAC, who did exceptionally well to keep it close whilstdonating probably 170- 200 points missing Emma Downie and Jenny Jepson. I think that reading the reviews that those hosting BUSA can be more interested in numbers of entrants over the quality there, both are important and there is a balance. Well done on an excellently run and impressive tournament marred by lacking the very best archers. | ||

| Topic - Eleague Results | ||
| The February results from the E-League are now up. With one more month left this year it's time to start thinking about who will move up or down divisions. The promotion policy is given on the website. Current likely movers are as follows: Senior League: Durham A look set to replace Birmingham A in the 1st Division, Loughborough A might replace Exeter A similarly. All the Division 2 teams look safe, but Keele A might be able to move up if they put in a good score in march. Lancaster A are looking good to replace Oxford C in Division 3 and both Lancaster B and Liverpool A could easily move out of the Conference. Novice League: Imperial A and Oxford A should both make the 1st Division with Leeds and Exeter the likely candidates to move down. Lancaster A and Bradford A are looking good to replace Bath A and Nottingham B in Division 2 York C is trying hard to make it from the Conference to Division 3. If teams want to affect this, they'd better start sending in good March scores to try and bolster their position! Finally, the individual competition is hotly contested at the top; Gregor Schnuer, Ian Caulfield and Alex Lyne are all currently within a single point of each other. Emma Downie is looking good in the women's however, with a clean sweep of 60 points so far. | ||

LR: Emma Downie should be fairly clear of everyone else. LC: I make it four entrants for three places. No bets being taken, although if you want to put money on how long before medals exceeds entrants in this one... :-( | ||

| Last week's BUSA mailout includes their accounts for last year, including per-sport breakdown of costs. It seems archery cost them £4127 this year. From looking at the entrants to the two championships, BUSA made takings of £9396. Do any of the other Unis who read this message board see a problem with this, when the championships cost almost double any similar competition to enter, and BUSA doesn't send a whole team to international events on cost grounds? I would like to see all the money BUSA gets from archery spent on archery, otherwise I don't see what advantage being part of BUSA has. If we are going to be charged that much (and I know many Universities' AUs pay for it) I'd at least like to see this money spent on better BUSA events for archers and a larger team sent to events. | ||

| Hi all, Just a reminder to you all about the Isle of Man tournament. Its the 6-10th April next year (the weekend before Easter), but entries need to be in by the 1st Dec. Its a 2 day/4 rounds competition (Day 1: portsmouth, fita 18. Day 2: worcester, Bray 1). Its very reasonably priced with great organisation on the island (you get picked up from the ferry station, taken to your hotel and transport to and from the venue is all included), and most of all a lot of fun. Ask any of the uni's that went last year (Exeter, Warwick, Brum, Brad, Loughborough) and they will all tell you its worth it. More information can be found on http://www.isleofmanfestival.com/ A final note - I don't get anything out of this apart from wanting other people to be able to enjoy the experience. Over the past few years archery has been one of the few sports that has grown in popularity with the festival and is currently the 2nd largest represented sport. I would like to see this growth continued and for archery to be the biggest. Cheers Ian | ||

| Solely shooting a 720 round for BUSA would be a bit self-defeating. The majority of students haven't ever shot one before, which means the round can quickly descend into utter chaos. A H2H round isn't really a great way to choose the best archer either, as is evident from the most recent world championships. I think, if a 720+H2H round is run through BUSA, it would be best done in addition to the normal tournament round (be it an Albion/Windsor or FITA's). | ||

| If you made everyone shoot the same distance the level would eventually even out, as it has in the rest of the world. In France for example many gents (recurves obviously) choose to shoot under 40lbs bows because they never need to reach 90m, which is a poundage any lady can reach without distroying herself. Is there something I don't understand? Why do people not want to make busa a 720+h2h? And more confusing, why would you make it a FITA instead? Anyway...

| What about novice teams? I think BUSA would be happy to give medals for separate teams if the SMG presented a convincing case for it - which would need to show that there are enough numbers to warrant it. BUSA won't give out medals if there are only a handful of competitors in a category (apparently compound is a bit dodgy on numbers - which is why longbow/barebow have no chance). The SMG would first need to be convinced that it's a good idea... I'm beginning to think that a FITA would be fairer genderwise than an Albion/Windsor - I did some stats based on tournament results, which seemed to show that the gap between men and women isn't as big as the GNAS classification tables (which GNAS admit are out of date) would imply. Plus at the uni level, 90m is likely to hamper men more than 70m is women :) | ||

However my understanding of the situation was that there was no way BUSA would give us more medals. | ||

If you moved Ladies to an Albion, the scores for a bowman would become 809 (Gents) 746 (Ladies) MB 883 (Gents) 840 (Ladies). Judge for yourself if this is a fairer option. . . . | ||

| I believe its easier for a woman to shoot 900 than a man on their current respective rounds. To look at the winners bias isnt fair as that club entered top quality archers in each. If you look at the proportion of women near 900 then look at the men you see what i mean. The round difference give a good 50 point advantage to the women. And if a guy argues with me, let him do so after shooting an albion and a windsor and showing his score. | ||

| If I'm going to compete against teams with girls why should they get to shoot 40yards whilst I shoot 80yards?? I would like to at least think I could put a few points on my score switching from an Albion to a Windsor.... In the past it certainly hasn't been the case that the teams have a 50% split. Lets make it fair, I don't really understand why ASW thinks the current system is fair??? | ||

| Far right hand side of gents line was indoor range, as far as I was aware. From experience of shooting ladies fitas at various points along lilleshall range, the only thing I've ever noticed is the flags seem to go in opposite directions somewhere in the middle! But as whenever I've shot there's usually a tailwind, I'm not sure how much difference it would make? | ||

| team that won busa was 2 gents 2 girls anyway so where the bias? it could be that at the top end the girls are heaven forbid as good as or a little better than the gents at busa? also change the venue and u make it fairer. everyone knows the beloved lileshall is easir to shoot on the right hand side of the field. It is a tired argument. If u want to win busa outdoors average 900 gents or ladies and if there is an advantage having females on the team ( and there is not unless they are good) get some females! take it the comment about busses and trains was made in ignorance of what has happened today in london. | ||

| Topic - H2H | ||
| You could shoot a 60m H2H round, which is the accepted round for cadets. BUSA wouldn't disappprove. I initially thought about doing this for ours but since it wasn't a registered tournament, I went for 50m on a smaller face, since there is no issue of anyone reaching that distance. We had 13 bosses out, two per boss, shooting in 6-arrow ends, single detail. We finished the ranking round in around 2-2.5 hours, with a break halfway. If you were shooting two details, on big target faces, four per boss, 6-arrow ends, at 60m and 70m, I'd estimate it'd take around 4 hours to do the ranking round. And if you shot matches in 6-arrow ends up to the finals, they'd probably take around 2 hours all up. Easily done in a single day. If several of these were held around the different leagues, and the top-4 from each league (M, W, NM, NW) went through to the championship, that could work. | ||

| Another constraint BUSA apply is that the round must be an official round, hence we couldn't have a 50m head to head. I'm not really in favour of making novices shoot 70m all day (although, perhaps it might be okay), also I think with the size of the field taking a full cut would be more appropriate (but back to time constraint again). | ||

| Hmm actually, if it were a h2h shot at 70m, would not that favour men? Mixed teams does seem like an unwanted headache caused by penny pinching. I still think a fita would take too long to shoot though. | ||

| I agree with Dave Wilsons sentiments, the teams are far biased towards women archers and something needs to be done. If it were the other way around, favouring men, you can bet that some big noise would be made and busa would listen. Reverse sexism? The proposed 70m and 50m h2h does sound like fun though, I would love to be part of that. | ||

| I know I've talked about this before but I'm still not convinced it's not the best idea so... "720 followed by head to heads" 70m for all seniors and 50m for the novices. H2H top 16 gents recurve, top 8 ladies recurve, top 8 gents compound and top 8 ladies compound, finally top 8 recurve gents novice and 8 recurve ladies novice. sounds like a lot but when a top 8 takes 4 bosses the first round you could probably fit everyone at the same time. It means everyone gets to shoot the 720, the H2H is a lot of fun and you only shoot a slow 6 dozen. It is the round used in the olympics and, as far as I know, the FITA star round is considered outdated in the rest of europe. So if you want an intenationally respected, fun, inclusive, not too time consuming round... the 720 H2H is the only choice. | ||

| Okay back to grinding my axe. At the moment the team event in BUSA outdoors is highly favourable to those with more girls in there team. As BUSA won't give us more medals so we can have seperate ladies/gents teams (does anyone know why they won't give us more medals?) and I don't think we should change the round (A FITA would take an easy 12+ hours, and we can't afford a second day at lillishall). What do people think of setting a quota on the team event? Say 2 girls and 2 guys per team? At least then it would be fair. | ||
