Archery Intervarsities - Archer Eligability - IMPORTANT!!!

Aryzel

I discovered that one of the UCD archers who shot in maynooth, is doing a post-doc and is not elibable to shoot. His score has been removed from the intervarsity results, but thankfully it doesn't seriously impact the results, UCD is still 3rd.

But i want to get all colleges to confirm that all the archers that have shot at DCU and Maynooth this year are infact eligable to be counted. Go to the UCD site immediately and check that the people that scored for you are students or on their years grace. I want all colleges to confirm that everyone was ok, or to tell me about any mistakes ASAP.

You are eligable to shoot for a college if:
1) You are currently enroled in a full time course in the college
2) You can shoot for your college on your years grace if you were enroled in a full time course in that college as of 1st Jan 2004.
3) Your years grace can have been defered for a year, for a valid reason, such as you spend the year in Australia.

If there are any questions, get me on 087 645 2077 or dermotDOTmaddenATgmailDOTcom

I want to get this sorted before christmas.

A post-doc is not a student, its a full time job, typically after your masters or phd

I can think of another person that might fall under this purge of non students....

Anyways, DIT are in the clear. We have a team of undergraduates with only one person who isn't, and she's on a years grace.

Were UCD clear on the rules and tried to chance their arm or were they ignorant of the rules or was it a case of him not telling them the full truth?

Oh btw Aryzel, well done on the 524. Thats some good shooting!

Transfer students aren't eligable in that case? By transfer I mean Foreign Exchange sorta thing...

I'm not speaking for/about DCU archers just DCU students in general. There are many people who may be over for a year/a semester/other.

Yeah we got us some Erasmus students(i.e foreign students who spend a semester in UL as undergrads), I take it as they are enrollled in the uni full time, there is no problem with them shooting for UL in intervarsities?



Thanks

Yeah I guess they would be technically. Student card, undergrad etc.

I've a question: if there was an archer who was an apprentice doing an off the job phase (FAS phase) in DIT, (they would be a DIT student, would be full time, have a student card and be entitled to join any sports clubs etc) but would they be eligible to shoot at Intervarsities?
The off the job phase is about 14weeks btw.

We're all ok anyway. We have one postgrad, one on a years grace and all the rest are undergrads

Aryzel

I think with UCD it was just a misunderstanding, but his score shouldn't have been counted, therefore it won't be. Also bare in mind the same thing will apply if people are discovered to have shot as a beginner when they were advanced, their score will be discounted.

Erasmus students are in a full time course in your college, basically they are undergrads, so no problem with them shooting.

Work experience while part of a full time course, is still part of the full time course, therefore no problem with them shooting.

Good, cos they make up around half of my farking team

halenger

But a masters/phd is actually ok, yeah? (Research etc isn't really a course, perse)

Aryzel

full time masters and phd's are full time courses therefore they are fine. posts-docs are not though, a post-doc is a job

I have one.
We have no apprentices so why worry. If we get one this or next year then discuss it.

Aryzel

Is it a FAS apprenticeship and they spend a few months studing at DIT during it? Is the apprenticeship associated with DIT or anything?

I suppose that while they are at DIT they are are attending a full time course at DIT so should be able to shoot for DIT. Much the same as erasums students in a college for a semester.
