The course is only for those National Associations that do not have an Officiating Program and do not accredit their own National Judges.

The accreditation is for a nominal 4 year period.
Accredited National Judges must remain as active judges within their National Association and will be required to demonstrate this each year.

Oceania Challenge 2025
2025-04-01 - 2025-05-31
Dear Member Associations,
Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
After listening to the feedback I received from last years Oceania Challenge we have moved the months to April/May.
Many said they were having to change their bow set ups from winter to summer for this shoot.
As April/May is in our summer months I hope this will work better for our archers.
I have made some changes to the results spreadsheet. This is to help manage the amount of time that is spent on organising the results and to keep the wording consistent. You will find that there is now drop down boxes with country codes, class, division and gender with the round box already being filled in. I welcome your feedback on the new spreadsheet.
The results will need to be received no later than Sunday 15th June 2025 @5pm NZ Time
I would also like to ask that clubs please provide a postal address for certificates to be posted. This will again speed up the process of having certificates sent to those that have won them.
Any questions, please send me an email.
kind regards
Patsy
Secretary General

The Target Championships will be decided on the combined results of the two WA 72-arrow rounds, which will also be used as the ranking round for all Match play events. Both Individual and 3-person team match play events will be held. Youth events are designed to accommodate younger archers with distances appropriate to their skill levels, and with helpers to assist with scoring for the younger archers.
The Target and Clout Championships and the Matchplay events will be held at Rongomai Park, Te Irirangi Drive, East Tamaki.
The Field Championships will be decided on the combined results from two field rounds: a 24 target WA unmarked 3D round, and a WA 24 target marked round. The venue is Massey Archery Club, 167 Annett Road, Kūmeu.
We will host the banquet and prize giving awards in the evening of the Finals Day, and we hope you can join us in celebrating our athletes’ and clubs’ successes.
Please encourage your archery friends and your supporters to join you this year at the 81st National Outdoor Championships and to participate at whatever level you all enjoy. We also invite overseas archers to join us at this event. We look forward to seeing you in Easter 2025.
