The World Crossbow Shooting Association Inc. (WCSA) Officials Page was setup primarily for all WCSA listed Officials so that they can keep up to date with activities and news in the Crossbow world. But it is open to anyone interested in Officials activities.

The list of current WCSA Officials are posted on this page. They may be contacted via me by sending an email to officials@worldcrossbow.com

WCSA Officials Online Seminar - 2020

WCSA conducted its Online Officials Seminar in June 2020. We had a great response to the idea and certainly something we can look at doing again. From the seminar we now have 7 new International Officials Candidates from Portugal, Sweden and Australia. I welcome you all to the Officials family.

COJ Report

Extracts of the Rule Book:

I have made an extract of the WCSA Rules into separate sections for each of the specific shooting events (ie Target, Forest, etc). This will allow you to carry 1 chapter of the rules instead of the whole rule book when attending an event. Whilst this works remember there needs to be at least 1 copy of the full rule book at each tournament. I suggest that should be the Chairman of Judges responsibility.
