Dear Archers,

Although the IFAA is proud that their sanctioned tournaments are mostly free of incidents, some unfortunate events are a cause of concern and the World Council did request that the IFAA Executive sets up a Code of Conduct for our competitors and enforce this code in future IFAA sanctioned tournaments.

From now on the code as set out below, will be included in all IFAA sanctioned tournaments as part of the registration information which is issued to each participant.

Regards,

IFAA Executive

INTERNATIONAL FIELD ARCHERY ASSOCIATION
