Entry fees: Individuals: €120 per Archer. Teams: free of charge. Officials: free of charge. Participation in the Mixed Teams event is free of charge. The entry fee includes daily transport to and from fields/hotel. Transport timetable will be available. Participants who decide to book their accommodation in other hotels (non-official) will have to pay a double entry fee, and the OC will not be responsible for providing transportation from those hotels to the venue. Furthermore they have to register at accreditation at the latest the day before the official practice; if they do not register the day before, no changes will be made to the entry list. It is likely that they will not be allowed to compete if registration was not completed on time.

Awards Ceremony: You are requested to bring your National anthem (on a CD) and your Country’s Flag (90cm x 120cm approx). Club Archers Participation Not only National Team archers can participate in a Grand Prix, but also Club archers. National teams will have priority during the preliminary entry phase. After the preliminary entry deadline all Club members could register. The Club archers can participate only in the individual competition, not in team competition and in mixed team. Registrations must be done through their National Federations and the entries can be accepted by the Organizing Committee until the total capacity of the field has been reached. Field, hotel and buses will be available for disable persons. Prepayment: Booking will be considered valid as soon as a minimum 50% payment has been received by the Organising Committee. You will be asked to present the prepayment receipts at the check-in. Full payments have to be made at the registration of the Tournament. VISA Application for obtaining entry visas (for the countries that need such a visa) is the responsibility of the participating teams. The process for obtaining a visa requires each individual to submit an application through a Cyprus Embassy or Cyprus Consulate. This is a process that MUST be done by the applicant – the organizing committee cannot do it for you! It cannot be emphasized enough to start the application process early. LETTER OF INVITATION All countries that need Letter of Invitation by the Cyprus Archery Federation for use in their application process are requested to ask this in time. Please fill out the Visa Support / Official Invitation Form as soon as possible and send it in. As long as the Organizing Committee gets no different information, the Letter of Invitation will be send by fax and/or email. OPENING CEREMONY Opening ceremony will be held on Monday, 4th June 2012.
