English term or phrase: Bow Open Trial
Je ne sais pas comment rendre "Open trial".
Est-ce une compétition ouverte ?

Qualifications pour le concours de tir à l'arc
Explanation:
In this case trial corresponds to "qualifications".

I think that in your case and based on the format of tennis tournaments, anybody can enter the preliminary tournament and the winners are awarded some place in the "real" tournament

7 trial

(sports) a preliminary competition to determine qualifications; "the trials for the semifinals began yesterday"

ok : Nouvelle proposition :
Sélection d'un chef de nage ouverte à tous

Bow is for bowman : The person seated on the first seat is called the bowman, or just 'bow' from :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_rowing#The_crew

ce qui s'appelle en francais le chef de nage :
http://un2sun4.unige.ch/docs/Glossaire.pdf

Ensuite "open" signifie ouvert a tous le monde

Finalement, "trial" est ici pour : the act of undergoing testing; "he survived the great test of battle"; "candidates must compete in a trial of skill"
http://www.wordreference.com/definition/trial

Je pense donc qu'ils recherchent un chef de nage, que tous le monde est bienvenu de se présenter et qu'il y aura un test d'entrée
