Dear Archers & Club Officials
Colombo Archery Classic 2020 – Stage 1
The current Covid Pandemic has created many challenges to our Archery community. However, taking the current environment into account we have put together a unique Archery Tournament for Archers to experience competitive Archery. This will be a different tournament to the traditional archery tournaments we are used to and will be conducted over five days within an environment to minimize health risks to the participants.
The Stage 1 of the Innaugural Colombo Archery Classic organized by the CAS Archery Club will be held from the 14th to 18th of December 2020 at the Colombo Archery Centre. This will involve Archers shooting at different time slots which will be allocated based on a draw. The priority of the draw will be based in the order in which the Tournament entries are received.
In these challenging times, we are compelled to exercise caution to ensure the health and well being of participants and their families and such safety conditions will be strictly adhered to at all times.
The Colombo Archery Centre has ten shooting lanes. However, for the tournament at any given time there will be only five Archers shooting along with only one support person per Archer being allowed within the Archery Centre premises.
The Archer and support person will be required to immediately leave the Colombo Archery Centre premises no sooner shooting is complete and will be required to always maintain atleast 1 meter distance with others.
The body temperature of all persons including Archers will be checked when entering the Colombo Archery Centre and entry will not be permitted if there are any health concerns. We will be disinfecting the premises after each shooting session
