ASSA Championship Location and Schedule
Fellow Competitors:
As you are well aware, the 2020 outdoor smallbore season has been in constant upheaval due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, which has resulted in the cancellation of the majority of competitions at local, state and national levels.
For the past several weeks, ASSA has been closely monitoring the latest information on the COVID-19 impact, modifications to state and federal health recommendations and the recent reopening of facilities and businesses across multiple states.
In parallel to monitoring COVID-19, ASSA has also been working with The Cardinal Center to address an issue that directly impacts our ability to conduct match operations on site which included registration, scoring and display of fired targets.
As a result, we will need to relocate the 2020 ASSA National Smallbore Championships to the Chief Wa -Ke'-De range in Bristol, IN.
This has NOT been a decision that was taken lightly. We have had lengthy discussions to evaluate all options and this is, at this time, the best path forward to conduct our 2020 championship.
In order to also mitigate the COVID-19 impact, the championship dates have also been modified to the following:
Along with the challenges of this move, ASSA has been working with both past and new sponsors in support of the match. As we have previously noted, our community of suppliers and sponsors have also been significantly financially impacted and are doing their best to continue their support. We, collectively as competitors, need to also understand their position and continue to support them to the best of our abilities also for they are part of the smallbore community.
For those competitors who have already registered for the championships but cannot attend due to the date/location change, ASSA will provide a full refund of your entry fees upon receipt of your email request.
On behalf of the entire organization, thank you for your understanding and consideration during these unprecedented times. We look forward to seeing you on the range in the near future.
Best Regards,
ASSA
