This year we have a new competition to offer our archers, the Mearns Archers face to face competition.
The face to face competition format allows archers who shoot similar scores to
shoot against each other in a Round Robin tournament.
Archers will be placed into a division of up to 6 people, irrespective of age,
gender or bow style, just those who have been shooting similar scores to each other.
Within your division you will have a face-to-face competition with each other
archer in your division. (See the table below for more details).The competition will have a maximum of 10 divisions
The divisions will be made up of archers shooting similar scores at indoor target rounds, irrespective of bow style!
Archers are grouped by ability so there will be no separation of bow categories age or sex
except possibly in the top divisions.
To find the groupings for the divisions all entries require best 2 scores from:
Portsmouth, WA18 or 30 arrows shot at a club (shot at 20 yards distance on 60cm FITA face) and witnessed by a club official
Or
IFAA indoor round score or 30 arrows shot at 20 yards distance at IFAA indoor target (40cm) and witnessed by club official
Competition format:
Practice – All archers will have 2 ends of practice. Archers 1,2,3&4 prior to round 1 match,
archers 5&6 prior to round 2 match. (practice is unlimited arrows in the 2 minute time period)
At the end of shooting all matches, archers in each division will be ranked by match points
gained with the top 3 gaining awards.
Round Robin Match format:
3 sets (ends) of 3 arrows shot at 20 yards on a 60cm FITA face (3 spot face will be available)
In each division the 6 archers will shoot against each other in a round robin match sequence as
per the chart below. There will be 2 matches simultaneously on each boss. Archers competing
against each other will shoot at the same time, one on the left target and one on the right.
Shooting will follow the normal AB-CD alternating sequence. Standard FITA timing of 2 min for 3
arrows will be used
Scoring for each set will be:
win 2 points
draw 1 point
loss 0 points
Highest point score after 3 sets is the winner. Match points will similarly be
win 2 points, draw 1 point, loss 0 points
If there are less than 6 archers in a division, bye matches will still be shot and scored.
Tie breaks – archers with equal match points will take part in a one end shoot off followed, if
required, by a one arrow, closest to centre, shoot off
