World Archery releases calendar of international blocks for 2025-2027
The calendar of international blocks for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 outdoor seasons has been published by World Archery.
Introduced in 2021, the blocks define when events that contribute points towards the Sanlida World Archery Ranking can and cannot be held, which structures the international calendar and ensures tournaments are balanced over the outdoor season.
From 2025, no new event scheduled during a block will be granted world ranking status.
The new calendar also includes recommended dates for member associations to host national tournaments, set during the block period, which neither clash with first- or second-tier internationals (World Archery Championships, Hyundai Archery World Cup stages or continental championships) nor third-tier world ranking events.
Two-week blocks are set every month and all World Cup stages in 2025-2027 fall in the first week of a blocked period.
