How is the

Round Robin seeded

and how is it

going to run?

 

For the Round Robin, flights to be determined based on qualifying rank points.

Number of  flights depending upon interest.

If 1-3 flights, then the match play will shoot AB, one line.

If more than 3 flights, then match play will shoot AB/CD, two lines

  • Match points will be  based on the World Archery "Set Points" system. Best of 5 Sets. Each set is 3 arrows.  Based on end score, the winner gets 2 pts, if tied each gets 1 pt. for that set.

  • First to 6 or more set points wins that match. If still tied after 5 sets, then one arrow closest to center arrow determines the winner of that match.

  • All archers regardless of age, gender or bow type will be seeded based on their best qualifying score.  Youth and recurve archers MAY be formed into youth and/or recurve flights based upon participation.

  • The top scorers will be in one flight, the middle  scorers in the second flight and the lower  scorers in the third flight, etc.  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.  Any shoot-offs will be into the center target spot.

  • Winner of each flight will be determined by the most match wins.  If tied, there will be a one arrow shoot-off.
