Tournament Scoring Guide

Imperial scoring (Archery GB five zone scoring)

• The target is a 122cm face and is divided into 5 coloured scoring zone.
• Points for each zone (9, 7, 5, 3, 1) increase from the center outwards.
• If an arrow is touching a line that separates zones (line cutter), the higher scoring zone is recorded.
• Scores are recorded on a score sheet (as shown in the example) with the highest scoring arrow recorded first.
• An arrow that does not score is called a miss and is marked ‘M’.
• Arrows are shot in ends of six and arrows can only be touched or removed from the target after all archers accept the recorded values.
• Once scores are written down, the arrow values can only be changed by a judge before the arrows have been removed from the target.

Metric scoring (World Archery ten zone scoring)

• The targets are 122cm and 80cm faces and are both divided into 10 scoring zones, 2 zones in each of the 5 coloured zone.
• Points for each zone increase from the center outwards, from 10 to 1.
• The inner zone scores 10 but has a further inner ring which is recorded as an 'X'.
