WINNING
THE GAME
In the event of a tied score the archer with
the highest number of 10s (including inner
10s) is declared the victor. If that number is
also equal the one with the greater number
of inner 10s is the winner. Alternatively – or
subsequently – a shoot-off can be used to
separate the competitors who have tied.
• Archers must adhere to all official rules in terms of the equipment they use
in the performance of their sport, with the main emphasis being on them
using no equipment or accessories that would give an unfair advantage
over an opponent.
• Athletes may not raise the bow arm until the signal to start is given and
RULES OF penalties can be given – in the form of points forfeits – if the bow is drawn
after the official practice has been closed.
ARCHERY • An arrow cannot be re-shot under any circumstances. The arrow may be
considered not to have been shot if it falls from the bow or misfires, or if
the target blows or falls over. Extra time would be given in such
circumstances.
• An arrow that rebounds or hangs from the target will still score based on
the mark it makes on the target face. Arrows that stick – Robin Hood-style
– in the nock of another shall score the same as the arrow in which they are
embedded.
RULES OF • If equipment is damaged, appeals can be made to the judge for such
ARCHERY equipment to be replaced or fixed, and any time allowances will be at the
judge’s discretion.
