CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE:
A. The original or first request for an OFFICIAL PSAA Classification Card for a member of PSAA is made by the secretary of the members club or association and is free. Information is furnished on an OFFICIAL PSAA Temporary Card form.
B. Information that must be furnished for any OFFICIAL PSAA Classification Card is: full name with middle initial (no nickname please), complete address including Zip Code. Indicate the correct division whether Barebow, Freestyle, Unlimited, Bowhunter Barebow, Bowhunter Freestyle, Bowhunter Unlimited or a Professional Division, indicate the Class (AA, A, B) and if male, female, or youth. If a youth, a birthdate is also required.
C. The Single highest score recorded shall determine an archers classification. Unclassed youth archers shall begin at the shortest yardages when shooting to get classified in the Field games.
D. The Classification Card issued to you will be a permanent card. All classes of all divisions and the breakdown of scores to attain all the classes will be listed on the card. This one card will include field/hunter, bowhunter (animal), target and indoor shooting. THIS IS A PERMANENT CARD.
1. When you jump to a higher class, the attendant at the Host Club desk will punch out or mark the higher class. Your card is now up to date immediately for your next shoot. You will be given a postcard which should be filled out and mailed by you to the Classification Officer for change of your records.
2. When a youth jumps from Cadet to Junior or from Junior to Intermediate in the PSAA Field Games, one of the following things will occur:
a. Cadets A and B jump to Junior B.
b. Cadets AA jump to Junior A.
c. Juniors A and B jump to Intermediate B.
d. Juniors AA jump to Intermediate A.
E. The Central Classification Officer handles requests for all the classification cards issued by the PSAA. This includes the Field, Target, Indoor, and Bowhunter Rounds.
F. Individuals may not be reduced in class unless he or she has not shot a score in the class presently held for a period of one calendar year and then may be lowered one class and only upon request of the members Club Officers and approved by them. When the request is approved, application for a new Official PSAA Classification Card shall be made in the regular manner. The new Classification Card will be issued at a cost of $1.00.
G. An archer may be moved into a higher class by the vote of any club or association for which he or she is a member, if there is sufficient reason to believe said member is underclassified.
H. If this permanent card is lost, if a change of address is required, or if it becomes ragged and a new or duplicate card is called for, the cost will be one-half the cost of the original card. (For PSAA members this will be $1.00). The procedure will be to send the old card or appropriate information and the correct fee to the Classification Officer and a new card will be made out and sent to the archer.
I. All subsequent jumps will be punched or marked at the Host Club desk at no charge to the archer.
J. All shoots or tournaments sponsored by PSAA will require PRESENTATION OF THE OFFICIAL PSAA Classification Card in order to compete for class awards. Official PSAA Classification Cards must be signed by the individual. A place for signature is provided on each card. If an archer cannot produce a valid class card at the PSAA State shoot, he or she must compete in the AA class. However at PSAA Regional shoots, the shooter can get classified and be considered a competitor in that class for that shoot.
K. Member Clubs sponsoring shoots shall request that all archers shooting for class awards use the Official PSAA Classification Card.
