Team Round - Recurve
• The rules for the team round in the
recurve categories have not changed.
We will continue to shoot 24 arrows and
the team with the highest total arrows
score will be the winner.
• 7.6.6.2 Athletes eliminated in the ¼ final will
be ranked by number of set points won, and if
tied by the number of cumulative points shot
in the last match. If still tied they will be
declared tied.
New Pairing Chart for WCH (and
possibly for World Cups)
• Top 104 archers qualify for match play.
(See appendix 1)
• Top 8 archers in the ranking round
advance without shooting in the 1/48
and 1/24 Rounds.
BE AWARE OF THIS:
• There are many more shoot-offs in which it is
necessary to measure the distance to the
center. Make sure you carry a measuring
device with you all the time.
• The order of shooting in individual matches
with alternation depends on the total of set
points.
