1. The Zones In fact, there are eleven scoring zones; with the 10 ring being divided into 2 zones, the inner zone being called the X ring. The X ring still scores 10 points, but any arrow scored in this area is indicated on the scorecard using an X. The Xs are later added and used as tie-breakers in all competitions except for Match Play. It should be noted that the X Ring is used in all competitions except for Indoor for Compound. In this competition the X ring is used as the 10 ring only and the remainder of the yellow scoring zone scores 9 points. For recurve and standard bow archers shooting indoors, the normal ten ring scores 10. The indoor three-spot target is also limited to the inner blue zone. For all events if you have a miss, this is indicated on the scorecard with an M. Outdoor rounds consist of a number of ends at either the same or different distances, with either 6 or 3 arrows shot in an end. Indoor rounds consist of 20-ends with three arrows shot in an end. A break is usually allowed after the first 30 arrows. For outdoor rounds there are a specific number of ends shot for each distance. There can be up to 4 distances shot for a round. A round may also see different target face sizes used at different distances. To score, the archer calls out the value of their arrows in descending order of score for that end. They should be called in two groups of three arrows, such as X, 10, 9, (pause) 8, 8, 6. These scores are then written by the scorer onto the scorecard in the area provided. The score total for that end is then added up (i.e. 51) and written in the area provided. Usually a running progressive total is being used so the end score is then added to the progressive score. This process is continued until all arrows for the archers on the target are scored. The arrows can then be removed from the target butt. Prior to all arrows being scored, the target face and arrows must not be touched or moved in any way. Under no circumstances should another archers arrows be withdrawn without their prior consent. During tournaments, scoring is usually done by Double Scoring, this is where two score cards are used and two archers on the target score all the arrows. The two scorers should compare the end total for each archer and resolve any discrepancies before any arrows are removed from the target butt. If arrows have been removed from the target butt and an error is found it cannot be corrected. The lowest arrow value will stand. At the completion of the competition the archer must sign the scorecard to confirm the value of the arrows. When double scoring the archer should check to confirm that both of the scorecards match; if they dont the lower score will be used. You would need to sign your scorecard, and witness your fellow archers scorecard.
