General rules

The original concept should be kept.

 -Meaning competitions are organized inside the circle of 700km as agreed previous years.(See map from past minutes) Founding countries should not be outside this circle.(HUN,CRO,SLO)

-No more competitions organized than can be placed in international calendar without crashing other events

-CEC is considered as international competition, meaning that national calendar is adjusted to CEC and not vice versa. This is up to each organizing countries Association to watch and ensure.

-to organize a CEC round archers from the planned organizer country shall be present on more than half of the organized rounds in other countries in at least two consecutive years.

-Costs must be kept down when it comes to travelling, number of nights on place and registration fees. Two day tournaments should start later on Saturday allowing athletes to arrive even if started same day in the morning (recommended start of registration 10.00 and first shot 13.00) this way 1 night in hotel can be a kept even at 2 days tournament.

– For 2023 fallowing entry fees are set: EUR 20-25 for the legs, and maximum 30 Euro for final leg.

– Every competition must be registered at WA, for WA target categories (Compound,Recurve, Barebow)

-Tents for archers and equipment, if possible needs to be provided by organizer to raise quality of CEC
