The Iron Archers Tournament Series consists of two FITA I, 600 rounds and  round robin match play on the 3rd date.

How is the Round Robin seeded and how is it going to run?

• Qualifying awards will be given to the top three archers per category based on the total of the two - 600 rounds.  Awards are plaques.

• Only the best 600 round will be used for ranking for the round robin.  As a result you can miss one of the 600 rounds for whatever reason.

• For the Round Robin, there will be three flights of 8 archers each based on the qualifying scores. 3 flights x 8 archers = 24 archers

  • An Iron Archer winner from each flight will be determined by the greatest point total of a single qualifying round, plus match points, plus bonus points.  Winning a match is worth 2 bonus points.  There will be seven round robin matches.  A 12 arrow match is 4 ends of 3 arrows. All archers within a flight will play all the other archers in that flight.

  • All archers regardless of age, gender or bow type will be seeded based on their best qualifying score. 

  • The top 8 scorers will be in one flight, the middle 8 scorers in the second flight and the lower 8 scorers in the third flight.  This approach should keep the match play competitive since similar shooters will be matched. 

  • Remember that compound will be shooting the inner ten and recurve the outer ten, regardless of their opponent's bow type.

  • Round Robin match play will be shot on the 3 vertical spot target so there is no top or bottom advantage.
