8 August 2008 - New Archery Results Statistics System

New Archery Results Statistics System Beijing – 8 August 2008   FITA is delighted to launch some features for results statistics of each archer on time for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. As of now, media and fans will be able to access: the history of head-to-head matches of two archers or two teams the history of all the matches of one archer or one team an interactive way to look at results brackets Please refer to our statistic sections to access these new features (or click above).   For now, these features only apply to the recurve category and for major FITA events that took place since the Athens 2004 Olympic Games—this means World Championships, World Cup, Beijing 2007 Test Event, Continental Games and Championships. These features were developed by FITA’s service provider Meteksan Events. The database of results will be extended to other events and category in due time.   We believe that history of head-to-head matches between two athletes or two teams is an important feature in order to analyse the next match between these competitors.   Please kindly note that the PDF results published on the FITA website (results section) are still the ones to refer to in case of discrepancies or incomplete data.   FITA hopes that these new statistics tool will enhance the experience of fans and media covering archery during the Olympic Games and other events.   FITA Communication
