Field Day on the Hill

Format

The first day of the shoot, Saturday, is the individuals round. Archers shoot the entire 24 target marked course for score, three arrows per target, and compete against other archers in their division. (Junior, senior, and master men and women compete together.) First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded Saturday.

Scoring is 6-5-4-3-2-1: 6 points for the inner gold ring, 5 for the outer gold ring, and so on. See the picture above. We will use 6-count, then 5-count, to resolve ties.

The individual round results are then used as a qualifying score for the team round on Sunday. Mixed teams (1 compound, 1 recurve, and 1 barebow, or our best approximation of that mix) shoot the 24 target course for score, one arrow per team member per target (for three arrows per team) and awards will be given to the top three teams.

The tournament will generate as many teams as participation allows, and will use the qualification scores to balance the teams so that they all have a fair chance at winning the team round. Enough top qualifying archers will be selected to fill out all the teams Saturday, then the teams will be matched and announced Sunday morning. You will know if you qualify for a team by Saturday, but you will not know who your team members are until Sunday morning.
