Information to Coaches
In 2009 there were many competitions where archers were either confused or just did not know the rules or regulations currently in place. This resulted in many delays being encountered during competitions which caused frustration to the competitors and organisers alike. Because of this the FITA Judges and Coaches Committees have agreed it would be useful to introduce some "drops" on issues concerning coaches, procedures and rules, and make judges procedures understandable to them, and not least, so the coaches know what to expect from the judges. Ken BEARMAN, FITA Coaches Committee Chairman We hereby intend to start a series of small inputs in order to be helpful to coaches and enhance their knowledge on rules and procedures to avoid extraordinary stress on their archers. We are of course also open to questions that might be asked. Morten B. WILMANN, FITA Judges Committee Chairman 11. Compound Team – Two Target Faces per Team The fact that the new Compound Team round requires two target faces per team has led to some questions on how to shoot; and what if, etc. First of all, the team members may decide how to shoot, left and/or right, but in an end of 6 arrows, there must be three arrows in each of the two faces. The principle is the same for the Mixed Team competition (though two arrows in each face). If a team member misses the scoring zone or aims incorrectly and there is suddenly four arrows in one face and two arrows in the other face, as for example: Left 10-9-9-8 and Right 10-9; the rules say that only the three lowest arrows of that face (the left one) will have their value recorded, and the highest score becomes a miss. In this example the scores would be as follows: M-9-9-8-10-9 = 45 points. If one plans to be "smart" and shoot three arrows in the right face and thereby seven arrows in total, one is only fooling himself. There will never be higher scores by making another mistake. Let's use the same example and add one more arrow: Left 10-9-9-8 and Right 10-9-9. Then the scores would be M-9-9-8-10-9-9, but of course only six arrows would be scored in an end. The lowest six values would count: 9-9-9-9-8-M = 44 points. There cannot be any issue in a compound team shoot-off, as only using one target face for the three arrows is used—one arrow shot by each archer (as usual). World Archery Communication
