WFAC has once again been postponed

Dear Archers,

The situation in the world caused by COVID-19 is still turbulent. Despite the desire of many competitors to participate in the WFAC this year, we have made a joint decision by the IFAA and the FAAE not to hold the tournament in 2021 and postpone it to 2022. Therefore, we announce that WFAC will take place between August 5 and August 13, 2022.

The venue of the WFAC is the same as it was planned earlier – Jõulumäe Recreation Centre, Leina village, Häädemeeste parish, 86504 Pärnu county, Estonia. Competitors who had registered and paid the competition fee to participate in WFAC2020 and now wish to participate in WFAC in the next year do not have to do anything, their participation fee will be retained and carried forward to the next Tournament.

The same applies to accommodation in the competition village. Competitors who have booked and paid for accommodation and wish to participate in WFAC in the next year and stay in the competition village do not have to do anything. Their reservations and payments will be carried over to 2022.

As more than two years have passed since the registration of the competitors at the time of WFAC in year 2022, we ask all competitors to review their age classes by the end of July. In the coming weeks, we will send a link to all competitors by e-mail, where you can correct your registered data and to confirm participation in the competition in 2022.

On behalf of the Tournament Organizers we thank you for your patience and understanding!

WFAC 2020 postponed!

Dear Archers,

As an IFAA-accredited global tournament host, the FAAE considers it necessary to give notice of changes as soon as possible. This situation in the World is unusual for all of us and regardless of the decision made, it cannot be 100% suitable for everyone.

The only reasonable decision is to postpone the tournament (WFAC2020) to the 2021, the dates of July 23rd to July 31st. If a registered participant wishes to withdraw from the tournament altogether, we can refund 30% of the fees paid until Jun 30, 2020. After this date there is no refund!

Registered archers who wish to participate in the tournament in 2021 do not need to take any action, their participation fee will be retained and carried forward to the next year. Till today, we receive requests by mail from different countries with the wish to register for the tournament, change the bow style, book accommodation etc., which shows the high interest of the participants in the tournament.

On behalf of the Tournament Organizers we thank you for your patience and understanding!

About corona

Corona Virus Review # 2

The Estonian government has imposed a number of restrictions over the past 1.5 weeks (cultural and sporting events, schools, some restrictions on movement). The borders of Estonia are not closed, there is a health check at the borders, and there is a guarantee period for those entering the country.

Over the past 1.5 weeks, the number of people infected with Corona virus in Estonia has increased, while the daily increase in the number of people infected with the virus has slowed down. The number of hospitalized people in Estonia is small, 17 people, 4 of whom have been healed and 4 are in critical condition, we have no fatalities.

Analyzing news from China and Italy shows a slowdown in the spread of the virus. We cannot guarantee that the WFAC2020 will take place or vice versa that it will not. The organizers will continue the preparations for the Tournament. We believe the situation in Europe has returned to normal in the summer and we do not need to announce the tournament will be canceled.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Tournament Participants,

Global news channels daily reflect the state of the Corona virus in various countries. There is relatively little information about the Corona virus in international news channels concerning Estonia.

In this regard, we consider it necessary to share some explanations about the situation in Estonia.

Today, March 13, the Estonian government declared a state of emergency in the country, which will last until May 1st. The emergency situation involves various activities aimed at stopping the spread of the virus, mainly to prevent the spread of the virus across the state border into Estonia. There are currently 40 infected people in Estonia whose contacts and people they have been in contact with are known and isolated. People’s awareness of how to prevent the spread of the virus is quite high.

The organizing committee believes that the WFAC will take place on time. When new circumstances of the Corona virus occur in Estonia, we will publish them immediately on the Tournament website.

At the same time, we announce that we have begun the activities and materials production needed to run the Tournament. In connection with the above, from March 15th all changes related to bow styles, names of competitors, etc. will be subject to a fee of € 20. This fee is not related to the refund of the entry fee!

The fee for making these changes will be paid on the spot at the venue, in cash upon registration.
