WA 720 ranking rounds followed by Mixed* Team Head to Head Round Robins:

Compound Open Division

Groups of two person teams will be created on the day utilizing entrants ranking scores (size
of groups will be determined by the number of entries in each division).

Within a group teams will shoot standard 16 arrow matches in a round robin format against
each other and gain two points for a win or one point for a draw. (Please note that shootoffs
will not occur in these rounds).

A cut will then be performed taking the top scoring teams into a second group stage. This
group will then shoot another set of standard 16 arrow matches in a round robin format
against each other and gain two points for a win or one point for a draw. (Please note that
shootoffs will not occur in these rounds).

Following this second round of matches the top 4 teams will be ranked and enter into
shootup format. I.e. the team ranked 4th will shoot against the team ranked 3th, the winner of
that match will shoot against the team ranked 2rd etc. until a winner is declared

All Archers will shoot on 80cm spot targets at 50m and will have 80 seconds to shoot 4 arrows
in standard team format. Alternating shooting format will be used for the finals matches

General Notes

We reserve the right to change the size of groups within each category as well as the
number of rounds of matches due to the number of entrants. (this will be published
before archers start shooting)

Teams will be determined following the closure of the ranking round. As an initial trial of
this tournament teams will be determined using the results of the ranking round, the
process for this may vary dependent on number of entrants in each category.

*While we will endeavor to have mixed gender teams as much as possible, in order to enable
everyone to compete, teams of the same gender may be put together based on entry
numbers

 

Awards and Prize Money 

Prize money will be awarded to all categories and will be proportional to the number of entrants in each category
