From the site:
"Archery Tournament History
In February 1956, the President of the Robin Hood Festival Association of Sherwood, Oregon issued an archery challenge to the yeomen of Nottingham, England. The archers would come from the entire Northwestern part of the United States. In order to cement their bond with the people of Nottingham, England, Sherwood sent 50 redwood oak trees as a living memorial.
In March 1956, England accepted the challenge and immediately started working out the details. The rounds would be a double American 810. Each round would be 90 arrows at the distance of 60, 50 and 40 yards, and would follow the F.I.T.A. equipment rules.
In July 1956, a picture of the silver Tiffany bowl trophy donated by the Robin Hood Festival Association donated to the International Robin Hood Match was sent to Nottingham, England, along with rules on how they were going to communicate during the shoot. Both competitions were to happen on the same day, but due to time differences, England was shooting eight hours later. This was the first competition. The Mayor of Sherwood has sent a challenge every year since."
