Opening remarks by VP 3D
The meeting was called to order at 15:07.
Jude felt that it was important that the group get together to discuss
items more than once per year. She
would like to have 3 meetings per year.
She is dedicated to the growth of 3D, and it is the FCA 3D committee’s
mandate to lead for changes and though the process will long, the committee
provides the leadership for the programme.

Issues
a)
2008 Outdoor 3D Nationals
Mano Navarro reported that the O/C has been working well and planning.
They working on obtaining a title sponsor right now and will ensure that
the logo will be bilingual, once the sponsor is obtained.
They are waiting for the snow melt.
There are still some problems with the O/C website but it is being worked
on.
b)
2009 3D Outdoor Nationals in
Daniel reported that Amos
will be applying to host the 3D nationals and Trois-Rivières for indoors in
2009.
c)
2009 Indoor 3D Nationals
The proposal from Trois-Rivières should be ready to submit in time for the April
1 deadline. There should be news in
time for the FCA Board meeting in
d)
Rules changes for 2008
Proposal 1.1
TABLED
3D chaperones will be
discussed in August. Cubs & pre-cubs
shoot with their parents. At the
2008 indoor nationals, Jude plans to put cubs and pre-cubs in groups with the
same distances and not have parents shooting at the same time during the event.
Youth will shoot at a different time for indoors, with 3 lines.
It will be an experiment.
ACTION:
Note to Dauphin Archery Club - On the formal 3D registration form would
it be appropriate to state whether or not the participant would shoot with
children, as a special request.
Proposal 2.1
PASSED
Everyone will have to have shot all the same courses.
Spectators and archers alike enjoyed the new format in Utopia, ON.

Conditional divisions minus the peewee divisions and all youth are grouped

and this was altered in the revised proposal below.

3.4.9.2
The Peewee Class will be offered as a non-competitive class and is exempt from
this rule.
A 3D class will be designated as “Conditional” if the combined number of
non-Guest male and female participants in the class is less than
ten (10) for three (3) consecutive years. Where
feasible, organizers should combine male and female classes if there are fewer
than ten (10) competitors in either.
Once a class is designated as “Conditional,” it will be shown as such on the
pre-registration form for the Nationals. Any pre-registrants who select a
Conditional class will be required to select an alternate non-Conditional class
in which they wish to register in case fewer than ten
(10) people pre-register for the class which is their first choice.
Pre-registrants may indicate that they wish to withdraw their registration for a
full refund if the Conditional class which is their first choice is not offered.
The organising committee will declare whether a Conditional class will be
offered that year depending on whether ten (10) or more pre-registrations have
been received for the class by a deadline three (3) weeks in advance of the
start of the event.
This rule applies independently to Indoor 3D Championships and the 3D Outdoor
Championships.
NB:
At this point in the meeting, the ABAM representative left the meeting.
Proposal 8.1
PASSED WITH AMENDMENT IN RED
