Cto Spain
After the preliminary phase, which took place over the months of April, May and June in Cáceres, Madrid and Valladolid, respectively, the best teams in each category obtained their ticket to the long-awaited final phase, which each season becomes the most lively competition of the season. Far from the formalities of other competitions, in which the excitement fades during the development of the qualifying phases and their corresponding knockout phases, in this competition the teams face two days full of exciting clashes.
On Saturday, the men’s and women’s teams (in the morning session), as well as the mixed teams (in the afternoon session), compete in their respective preliminary rounds, in which the teams from each category compete against each other, all against all, to establish the classification that will make up the final elimination bracket.
These will take place in the last session on Saturday (those corresponding to the mixed categories) and on Sunday morning (men’s and women’s team eliminatory rounds), as an appetizer for the attractive finals for the gold medals, which will be contested individually and in the spectacular alternating shooting format that we are used to enjoying in the broadcasts of the best international competitions.
Punctuation system.
Cto Spain
For those less versed in the subject, this competition calls for the two main types of bow, the recurve bow (the one that participates in the Olympic Games) and the compound bow, each with its particularities in terms of the development of the competition.
In the case of compound bow teams, they shoot at a distance of 50 meters at a target of 80 cm in diameter, in which the scoring zone goes from 5 to 10. The teams compete in the cumulative scoring system, over four rounds in which each athlete on the team shoots two arrows, the team that accumulates the most points after the established total number of rounds winning (24 arrows in the male and female teams, made up of three athletes and 16 in the mixed teams, made up of one archer and one archer).
In the case of recurve archery teams, they shoot at a distance of 70 meters at a 122 cm target, in which the scoring zone goes from 1 to 10. In recurve archery, matches are resolved by means of set points. In each set, each athlete from each team shoots two arrows, and the team that accumulates the most points with its 4 or 6 arrows (mixed or male/female) wins the set. The team that wins a set takes two points, while, if there is a tie, each team shares one set point. With these premises, the first team to add five set points wins the match.
In both compound and recurve bows, if after the four scheduled rounds the two teams are tied (with accumulated points in compound bows or 4 set points in recurve bows), the winner is decided in a tiebreaker in which each athlete from each team shoots an arrow, with the team that scores the most points with their arrows winning, or the one with the arrow closest to the center in case they are still tied.
It is highly recommended to attend the mesmerizing choreography that the teams offer us during the competition. There can only be one athlete from each team on the shooting line, who must leave his place to his partner in a coordinated manner, after launching his arrows, in order not to incur penalties.
In this competition, strategy and synchronization between team members is essential to achieve victory, which increases the excitement of the competition. For all these reasons, Valencia will witness a great archery festival, which will feature several of the best national athletes, in a festive atmosphere that will not leave anyone indifferent.
