SYWAT OUTDOOR - AGGREGATE/HIGH SCORE AWARD

This goes to the top scoring Archer in their respective division and style for the SYWAT Outdoor Field Season. Three SYWAT shoots and the State Tournament are required to be eligible for the SYWAT Aggregate/Highest Score Award. Your top three SYWAT scores plus your total TFAA State Field Championship score will be added together to determine the SYWAT Aggregate/Highest Score Award for each division and style. The first day of the Southern Sectional Outdoor can count as one score (Only the first day due to 2nd day being mixed with an Animal round).

Shoot as many SYWAT events as you wish, only your top scores will be used. If you shoot two times at a weekly event, only the top score from that event is used. You can only win for one division and style. The Aggregate/Highest Score Award will be presented at the awards ceremony during the TFAA State Field Championship.

SYWAT OUTDOOR - INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

Each individual SYWAT event is its own tournament. Winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are recorded for individual award purposes.  Individual awards will be created and made available for pick-up at the TFAA State Field Championship.

The individual award is a single award listing the location and place for each SYWAT where the individual placed either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in three (3) or more separate SYWAT's in order to qualify and receive an Award.

Shoot as many SYWAT events as you wish, only your top scores will be used. You can shoot the same location on the same weekend multiple times but only the highest score will count towards the SYWAT awards.

As normal, the last weekend before the State Tournament is not included for qualification in order to get awards created in time for delivery to the State Tournament.

GLOBETROTTER AWARD

The TFAA Globetrotter Award is presented to the archer who has attended the most SYWAT shoots during a season. [The last shoot included is two weeks prior to State, in order to allow time for acquiring the trophy.] Multiple shoots at a single location (same weekend) count as one.  There are two (2) awards annually, one for the indoor season and one for the outdoor season.  In the event two or more archers tie for the most shoots attended, the following tiebreaker rules will apply, in order:

  1. TFAA membership
  2. Different SYWAT locations shot
  3. Different TFAA districts shot
  4. The furthest distance traveled to shoot

If there are two or more archers tied after these tiebreakers, then there will be no award for that season.  If two archers in the same family tie for the award, one award will be issued with both names.
