All entries are to be submitted and paid for via Sport 80. A waiting list will open as soon as the event is filled. If a space opens up for you, you will be sent a link to accept and pay for your space. You will have 48 hours to do so before your space is offered to the next archer on the list.

Archers who graduated in summer 2024 and are no longer students will be eligible to represent their former university. Archers must be able to show proof of Archery GB membership on request, including county and regional affiliation.
NEUAL events are primarily “closed events”, exclusively for student archers. Entry will first be opened to students. If you book a student ticket you may be asked to provide evidence that you are a student. If you cannot satisfy the tournament organiser that you are a current student your entry may be cancelled without appeal.
Assistance.
It is the responsibility of the individual archer and club captain to ensure that the organisers are aware of any special requirements a participant may have.
If you require an agent, it is the archer’s responsibility to provide this. If you are unable to organise an agent, please contact the tournament organiser.
Data collection.
In accordance with GDPR, NEUAL has a lawful basis to process user data. We have a legitimate interest in collecting, using, and sharing archers’ data with tournament organisers, scoring systems, and other competitors, clubs, counties, regional, and national bodies. Some information may also be published in documents or lists relating to the event, and at a schedule decided by the organisers. These include your name, gender (AGAB and GI), bow style, date of birth, round, disability information, email address, contact numbers, club, county, region, and any AGB-assigned codes for this information.

In the unusual event that NEUAL cancels an event, all entries will be refunded. Refunds will be made to the original payment method. If an entry is cancelled for any reason, the Sport 80 processing fee (4.8%) and Stripe processing fee (1.5% +20p) cannot be refunded.

Conduct.
NEUAL strives to have a welcoming and friendly atmosphere at all levels of competition, and for everyone to leave having enjoyed their day’s competition. We welcome encouragement and cheering in support of athletes, in a respectful sporting manner. Examples of poor sporting manner include the purposeful wrong calling of arrows, and shouting loudly when an opponent is at full draw. If you feel anyone is behaving in an inappropriate manner, inform either the chair of judges (CoJ), or the tournament organiser (TO). Both the CoJ and TO are empowered to ask people to change their behaviour or leave the venue.
