USA Archery Announces 2013 Event Schedule
COLORADO SPRINGS—USA Archery has announced its event schedule for 2013. The year will kick off with the 44th
U.S.
National Indoor Championships and 2013 JOAD National Indoor Championships. This national championships event, held at 11 locations across the country, will allow archers to compete for national titles in senior, youth and JOAD divisions. USA Archeryʼs U.S. Archery Team Qualifier Series kicks off the 2013 outdoor season in April with the AAE Arizona Cup— a World Ranking Event—in Phoenix. The circuit then heads to Texas A&M; University later that month for the Texas Shootout,
which will also host the World
Games Team Trials for compound archers. In late May, archers head east for the
Easton Foundations Gator Cup in Newberry, Fla., and senior archers will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the World Archery Championships Team. The U.S. National Field Championships and World Games Team Trials for recurve and barebow shooters will take place in Texas in June. The SoCal Showdown, held at the U.S.
Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., will be held in late June, and will play host to the World Archery Youth Championships Team Trials. From there, archers from across the country will head to Hamilton, Ohio, for the 129th
National
Target Championships and U.S. Open/ Easton JOAD Nationals, which will be held in early July.
The outdoor seasonʼs domestic events will wrap up with the World Archery Para Championships Team Trials, which will be held in Chula Vista in late August. ■
NCAA Considers Tweaks To Tennis
Championships Rules Supported by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the NCAA will consider the following tweaks to rules for its 2013
tennis championships: ■ Eliminating warm-ups with opponents before singles and doubles matches;
■ Reducing time between singles and doubles matches from 10 minutes to five minutes; and
■ Shortening changeovers from 90 to 60 seconds. The NCAA also would invite four teams to the finals site, rather than 16, shortening the tournament from 12 to eight days, effec- tive in 2014.
All changes require approval from the
NCAA Division 1 Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. ■
