Competition Format

The Archery World Cup is a modern competitive archery tournament of the international stature, governed by the World Archery Federation.
Participants perform under two divisions- Seniors and Juniors. The one aged below 18, compete in Juniors.
The competition can be held both indoors and outdoors.
There is a specific distance for indoor events while for outside, it may vary. There are two sets of rules according to the rounds- Metric Rounds (WA, World Archery rules) and the Imperial Rounds (GNAS, Grand National Archery Society rules).
Archers score each end and their scores are calculated by summing their arrow’s score. An arrow that has just touched a scoring boundary line called the "Line Breaker" or "Line Cutter" is given higher points.
The archers compete in four different stages that are held in four different countries. Best eight archers from each category advance to the finals.
