After completing the preliminary phase, which took place throughout the months of April, May and June in Cáceres, Madrid and Valladolid, respectively, the best teams in each category obtained the ticket for the long-awaited final phase, which each season becomes the most lively competition of the season. In this competition the teams face two days full of exciting confrontations.

This is a competition framed in the Competition Support Program (PAC_CV), launched by the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation The event is organised by the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) with the aim of attracting top-level competitions in various disciplines to the Valencian Community. This ninth edition will host 27 events, 12 of which are international and 15 national. In total, it is expected that around 18,000 athletes will compete in the Valencian Community thanks to this sports programme.

During the day 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 phases, in which the teams of each category face each other, all against all, to establish the classification that will make up the final qualifying table.

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 alternate shooting format. This competition brings together the two main types of bow, the recurve bow (Olympic mode) and the compound boweach one with its particularities in terms of the development of the competition.

In the case of compound bow teams, they shoot a distance of 50 meters on a target of 80cm diameterin which the scoring zone ranges from 5 to 10. The competition is based on the accumulated scoring system, over four rounds in which each athlete on the team shoots two arrows, with the team that accumulates the most points after the total winning. of dates established (24 arrows in the men’s and women’s teams, made up of three athletes and 16 in the mixed teams, made up of an archer and a woman archer).

In the case of teams recurve bowif you take away the a distance of 70 meters on a 122 cm target., in which the scoring zone goes from 1 to 10. In recurve bow, confrontations are resolved by means of set points. In each set, each athlete from each team shoots two arrows, with the team that accumulates the most points with its 4 or 6 arrows (mixed or male and female) winning the set. The team that wins a set takes two points, while if they tie, each team shares one set point. With these premises, the first team to add five set points is the winner in 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 first-hand the hypnotizing choreography that the teams offer us during the competition, and that is that there can only be one athlete from each team on the shooting line, who must give way to his partner in a coordinated manner, after shoot your arrows, so as 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.
