MATCH RULES

General

Archers shall be assigned a target, and only arrows on that target, shot by the assigned archer will be counted for score.
No more than two competitors may shoot on each target at one time.
When more than one archer is shooting at the same target, the arrows must be identifiable to each archer by either color or other markings.

Shooting Distance:

Archers will shoot straddling a shooting line marked 15 yards from the targets.

Targets:

Only 80 cm FITA-face (80 cm in diameter) five color, ten-ring target may be used.

Arrows:

All arrows must have target or field points only (no broad heads) and must be shot from bows using only the fingers with no sights. Easton 1820 Genesis arrows are recommended.

Practice:

Archers may practice for as many arrows or any amount of time the instructor allows. The instructor must declare that the scoring has begun before the first arrows are shot for score.

Time Control:

Archers are allowed 2 minutes for 5 arrows. Instructor will announce when there are 30 seconds remaining if any archer has not shot all their arrows.

Scoring:

Archers will shoot 6 ends of 5 arrows each for a total of 30 arrows, 10ring scoring, with a total of 300 points possible.
Scorers will enter the value of each arrow in descending order on scorecards as called out by the competitor to whom the arrow belongs.
Any arrow that hits outside of the scoring rings or misses the target will be scored with the letter “M” for miss.
Scoring should be witnessed by at least two other competitors or the archery instructor.
Other competitors on the same target will check the value of each arrow called out, and in case of disagreement, they will call the instructor or judge.
An arrow will be scored according to the position of the shaft on the target face. If the shaft touches two colors or touches any dividing line between two scoring zones, the arrow will score the higher value of the two zones involved.
Neither arrow nor the target face should be touched until all the arrows on that target face have been recorded.

Tie Scores:

In the event of a tie score, the participant with the greater number of
highest scoring arrows will be the winner. Count the number of 10-point scoring arrows. If still tied, count the number of 9-point scoring arrows and continue until
the tie is broken.
