IASAC CONTEST RULES

1. Scorekeeper And Flight: Any combination of Youth/Senior, Female Adult, or Male Adult may make up a flight. At least 3 people must be on a flight with a maximum of 5. A participant in the flight may act as scorekeeper if no other person is available. Cubs may throw alone so as to complete their special contest consisting of the closer distances or may compete with other classes. This is at the flight's discretion. The contestants are to rotate in a "Round Robin" fashion.

2.The purpose of the score sheet: is to simplify the burden on the event organizer while expanding as much as possible, the divisions in which atlatlists, male and female, young and old, can compete and earn a place of recognition for their efforts on the INTERNATIONAL ATLATL SOCIETY Web Site.

3. Classes: Scores will be posted as follows: Age groups & scores for web site posting are:
Top 24 scores for CUB BOYS: 5-11 years.
Top 24 scores for CUB GIRLS: 5-11 years.
Top 24 scores for YOUTH BOYS: 12-15 years of age.
Top 24 scores for YOUTH GIRLS: 12-15 years of age.
Top 24 scores for SENIOR MEN: 64 years of age.
Top 24 scores for SENIOR WOMEN: 64 years of age or older.
Top 48 scores for ADULT MEN: 16-63 years of age.
Top 48 scores for ADULT WOMEN: 16-63 years of age minimum 40 points.

4. The score sheet requires age and sex, city and state or city and or country.

5. Target Set Up: The score sheet determines the distances from where each atlatlist throws, according to class. Atlatl events vary in size. A small event could set up one target for all to use by staking out all distances, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, and 22 meters at one target. It is suggested that a larger events should set up as many as three or more targets.

6. Open & Primitive Classes: The score sheet must note equipment usage (Primitive vs Open) purely for statistical curiosity. Current local and international competitions indicate primitive equipment is used by the majority of top atlatlists. "Primitive Class" is limited to natural materials deemed available and used by ancient atlatlists world wide to include plants, wood, bone, stone, and cooper, antler, horn, hide, and sinew. Plastics, composites, all other metals are to be considered "Open Class". Modern adhesives, glues, colorings, and dyes are exceptions and may be used in either class. Max dart shaft size is 20 mm.

7. The Scorekeeper is the ultimate authority for contest rule interpretation. The event organizer is the ultimate authority over participant conduct. The IAS offers the IASAC for the use of the event organizer and the enjoyment of those atlatlists attending the event. The IAS will not, under any circumstances, act as a dispute resolution service between event organizers, scorekeepers, and participants.

8. Event organizers are encouraged to advertise the IASAC contest as part of their media campaigns in their local media outlets, and post a notice of their event on the IAS web site at least 10 days in advance, and send the original score sheets to IAS within 10 days of the completion of the event. For target sources, IASAC contest rules, and IASAC score sheets: (IAS Web Site Address to be provided) (IAS e-mail address to be provided)

9. The Three (3) Darts thrown from each distance are to be thrown consecutively, unless a contestant only has one dart available, he or she may throw the dart and retrieve it to continue competing.

10. Dart Accumulation On The Target: especially at close ranges, previously thrown darts may effectively block the following thrower(s) from the target center. The contestants reserve the right to request that previously thrown darts be scored and pulled from the target at any distance.

11. Foot Fault: If an atlatlist, during the throwing motion steps beyond the distance stake or line, the score for that throw is disallowed. (a line or stake may be used. If a stake is used, the contestant may not take a step advancing beyond this stake.

12. Robin Hood: If a thrown dart sticks into a dart already in the target, the dart thrown is allowed the same point as the dart already in the target, regardless if the dart sticks in the opponent's dart or not. However a dart will be scored if it hits the target.

13. Bounce outs: If a dart bounces out of the target, the score keeper will allow the point observed by the scorekeeper and/or other flight members. If a consensus can't be reached, the scorekeeper will allow a 2nd throw.

14. Misfire: A dart that does not travel twice the dart's length from the stake or throwing line is considered a misfire. The scorekeeper shall allow a 2nd throw.

15. Line cut: To award the higher score, the scorekeeper must determine that the dart's shaft is actually touching a border line. Hole size/paper rips or tears do not count. The dart is scored by where the shaft is located on the target.

16. The Target: The point count from the outside in is 1 through 10. The inner 10 circle is to be considered an X. Score the inner 10 circle hit as an X or 10 X.
