The ITAA is proud to hold this 2019 JOAD State Championship.  This tournament is a chance for JOAD club members to compete against other JOAD archers from across Illinois and those traveling in from other states.  Choose a venue and a date to show off your stuff!

Registration is now Closed.  The registration links are at the bottom to view the sign-ups.  Contact Tony to be put on the waiting list.

The format for the state championship is a JOAD 600 Round.  In the northern venue, there will also be a head-to-head elimination tournament using the 600 Round results for seeding.

This is 60 arrows at a standard 4-color World Archery target (40cm or 60cm, depending on your category).   Awards will be given at the northern venue after the completion of competition.  Awards will be mailed out for those not present.

    • Payments are online for the northern venue, and Cash or Check on site for the southern venue.
      • The discounts for the northern venue will be handled as a refund after registration.
      • Cancellations up to 5th 10th will receive a full refund less 20%.  After Feb 10th there will be no refunds.
    • There is a family maximum fee of $75 ($112 for late registrations).  Family discounts on ITAA Event Fees are described at the link.
    • “Final two weeks” here means “final two weeks before registration closes” (which is one week before the event).
  • Arrive 1 hour before your start time for equipment inspection.
  • Arrow size must be 23/64 inches or smaller in diameter.  (Note: 2317s are too large, and cannot be used.)
  • The USA Archery dress code will be enforced.
  • Out of state shooters are welcome and eligible for medals.
  • This event is Star FITA sanctioned, which means that scores shot here are eligible for national and world record recognition
  • For more information about what to expect at an ITAA event, read this helpful tournament primer.
  • The shooting line has a maximum of number of spaces (But it’s a lot.  I dare you to fill it).  After that, registration will be closed and a waiting list will be created.
  • For indoor shooting at a single 60cm target face, multiple archers may use the same target face.  So you may be sharing a face with an archer on the other AB/CD line.
  • A double-line 600 round takes around 3 hours shooting time to complete.  With early arrival for check-in, shooting, and tear-down, plan on the 600 Round to require around 5 hours of time in your day.  For the northern venue, the elimination round tournament will add several more hours of archery action.

The JOAD State Indoor Championship will be requiring membership in a JOAD club for participation. 

All shooters will be eligible for medals regardless of registry method.

USA Archery Age Categories for 2019:
If you were born in 2007 or more recently, you are a Bowman

JOAD Team Competition

This event also awards a team championship for the best team performance.

The JOAD Team Championship this year will awarded to the club with the highest score from the sum of:

  • Any 2 Compound shooters
  • Any 2 Recurve shooters
  • Any 1 Barebow shooter

So there are 5 scoring slots, regardless of JOAD age or gender.  We will take the highest scores, so you don’t have to designate specific shooters ahead of time.

We will be asking for your JOAD club name during registration to set up our team score keeping.  The Rcherz.com site has some quirks regarding entering club affiliations that can delay displaying your club on the event list.  As long as you’ve typed it into the registration form, we can retrieve it later when we go over the lists. We will follow up with entrants later if we cannot determine your JOAD club.

Northern Venue Elimination Round

At the northern venue, once the morning’s 600 Round is completed and scores tabulated, there will be a per-equipment elimination round tournament.  We will use the 600 Round scores as the seeds.  Like we have done in the past, we will combine the ages together and create an elimination tournament with 5 categories:

  • All Barebow
  • Compound Female
  • Compound Male
  • Recurve Female
  • Recurve Male

Awards will be given in each of these categories.

Iowa-Illinois Dual-State Championship

2016 was the inaugural year for the Iowa-Illinois dual-state championship, and we’re continuing the tradition.  This dual-state-medalsaward is won by having the highest combined score in your category of both the Illinois JOAD State Indoor and Iowa JOAD State Indoor championships.

The Iowa State JOAD Indoor Championships is February 16th, 2018.  The winter calendar this year makes the Dual State event tricky.  But it’s continuing!
