They will qualify based on their performances at the Tournaments of Nimes and Las Vegas.   A combined ranking will be established based on the results of the Tournament of Nimes and the results after the 60 arrows shot on Friday and Saturday at the Tournament of Las Vegas. This combined ranking will only include the archers taking part in bothTournaments (mandatory rule).   The Indoor Challenge will be held in the form of quarterfinals, semifinals and finals matches shot on Saturday 20 February 2010 according to the FITA rules for international indoor archery (exception for arrows diameter).With a total value of more than 15,000 USD (on top of the usual awards offered by both tournaments), an attractive prize-money will be awarded across the four divisions.   Among the archery community, there is some wish to have one day an Indoor World Cup opened to anyone. Thanks to the initiative of the Nimes and Las Vegas organisers, the Indoor World Archery Challenge 2010 is a great step forward!   Download the rules and information on the Indoor World Archery Challenge 2010 here.   For any more information please contact directly the Nimes and Las Vegas organisers on http://www.arcclubdenimes.com/tournoi-europeen/fr/ and www.fieldarchery.com.   FITA Communication
