European Archery Championships

Competition Format

• The European Archery Championship is a modern archery sport. The World Archery Federation governs the modern competitive archery.
• Participants perform in two categories: Seniors and Juniors. The players aged below 18 compete in junior level.
• The competition can be held both indoors and outdoors.
• There is a specific distance for indoors competition while for outside, it may vary. There are two sets of rules according to the rounds performed: the Metric Rounds ( World Archery rules) and the Imperial Rounds (Grand National Archery Society rules).
• The inner ring is termed as the "X ring". The competitor who shot closest to the X ring wins. 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 the higher point.
