Divisions
There will be only 3 divisions on offer as per classifications.

Whichever rating is the highest will be used. It is the responsibility of registrants to ensure that they enter the correct division.
Division Numbers
Division Numbers: 1st/2nd/3rd award placings only will apply to those divisions that have a minimum of 5 archers.
If 2 archers compete, 1st place only will be awarded, if 3 archers compete, 1st & 2nd will be awarded.
Please refer to the tables below on this page to ascertain which division you will compete in.
How do I Look up my Ranking for the Event?
Firstly, your handicap insn’t your rating, so please don’t use that as a reference for your event division.
If you hold both an Archery Australia rating and an Archery NSW rating, you must reference whichever rating is higher. For example, if your 50+ rating is higher than your Open rating, then the higher rating must be used. Similarly, if your RGB rating differs from your National rating, you must use the higher of the two.
So head along to Archers Diary and look up your RGB Rankings or your National Rankings and reference the highest value of your class/rating combination.
