Rules
From the IHAA
The 2021 World Grand Prix has two linked events running in parallel:
– wGP Team Championships (for national teams and iHBA teams)
– wGP tri-event postal matches (for all individuals)
The wGP will be organised through the year in three stages:
– Stage 1 = April, May, June 2021
– Stage 2 = June, July, August 2021
– Stage 3 = August, September, October 2021
The wGP Team Championships is similar to the 2020wGP competition. It is open to national teams in one of 3 age categories (open, youth and junior) with team entry via national governing bodies who are affiliated to the IHAA (CFMA in
Canada). National iHBA teams or multinational iHBA teams managed by the IHAA, will also take part in the wGP Team Championships.
The IHAA will be sharing running updates at the end of each competition stage for how the teams in each age category are ranking against each other. At the end of the competition, final results and medals will be awarded for age categories and overall rankings.
The wGP tri-event postal matches are for all individuals, regardless of affiliation. You can enter the tri-event postals for each of the three stages throughout the year. After each stage has closed, the IHAA will post individual combined results according to the normal postal match categories (senior, young rider, junior & children, and iHBA) and recognize the winners in each category.

Team Event
We will be selecting up to 9 athletes to represent Canada and compete in the 3 stages of the WGP competition.
3 athletes will be selected to compete in each stage. If more than 3 athletes would like to participate, we will then compare current national rankings to select the three competitors. Selections for each stage will be announced on the first day of the stage. Visit our ranking page (Coming Soon) for a current list of national rankings.
The selection is open to all Canadian horse archers regardless of affiliation.
