How is the

Round Robin seeded

and how is it

going to run?

 

For the Round Robin, flights to be determined based on Qualification Ranking Round score. All archers regardless of age, gender or bow type will be ranked together based on their qualifying score.

Following the Qualification round, the top 48 scoring archers will enter the Round Robin Round.

There will be up to 8 Flights of 6 archers each. Archers within their flight will shoot a match against all others in their flight for a total of 5 matches per flight.

  • The round robin matches will utilize 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.

  • When utilizing the Set System, the first archer to 6 or more set points wins that match. If still tied after 5 sets, then one arrow closest to center arrow shoot-off determines the winner of that match.

  • Compound cumulative scoring system is not used.

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

  • 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.

  • Qualification Round and Round Robin match play will be shot on the  Vertical 3 Spot target.  Any shoot-offs will be into the center target spot.

  • The archer who wins the most matches in their flight is the Iron Archer winner of that flight.

Tie Breaker Format:

  • After 5 matches, If 2 or more archers in the same flight are tied with match wins, then they will shoot an additional three arrow set end tie breaker against each other to determine that Iron Archer Flight winner.

  • If tied in highest score the archer with the closest arrow to the middle wins.

  • If still tied in closest arrow distance, the second closest arrow to the middle wins.

  • If still tied in closest arrow distance, the third closest arrow to the middle wins.

  • If still tied, a the tied archers will shoot a one arrow shoot off until the tie is resolved.
