GENERAL RULES DURING SCORING 

6.9   SCORING

6.9.1   No arrows in the target or butt may be touched until all the arrows have been scored.

6.9.2   On all targets, arrows may be scored and drawn in the prescribed manner after each pair of archers have shot, in order to minimise arrow damage.  The Target Captain and both Scorers must go to the target to record the score.

6.9.3   Arrows passing through the target face but remaining in the butt, may be pushed back by the Target Captain or Vice-Captain, who did not shoot the arrow, and scored accordingly.

6.9.4   Skids or glances off the ground into the target, shall not be counted.

6.9.5   Bounce-outs believed to have hit the scoring area, shall be re-shot.

6.9.6   Arrows believed to have passed through the scoring area but not retained in the butt, shall be re-shot with a marked arrow.

6.9.7       In the event of a tie for any award, the archers concerned will break the tie by shooting off over 3 targets.  If the tie is not then broken, they will continue until one wins a target.  If the archers concerned agree, they may shoot a "sudden death" from the first target.

6.9.8       An archer who shoots arrows in excess of the prescribed number, shall lose the score of the arrow or arrows of the highest value.

6.9.9       An archer who shoots from the wrong marker or at the wrong target, will loose the score of that arrow.  The arrow may not be re-shot.

6.9.10     In the event of a miss-shot arrow, an archer may shoot another provided the miss-shot arrow can be reached with the bow from the archers position at the marker.

6.9.11     An arrow hitting another and remaining embedded in that arrow, shall have the same scoring value as that arrow. Arrows being deflected by other arrows shall be scored by their position.

6.9.12   Where a line having a specific width, separates one scoring area from another on the face, the line is in the lower scoring area.  Where there is no line, the arrow must cut the higher scoring area to score the higher value.

6.9.13   The number of times that an archer may draw an arrow before releasing it, shall be limited to four.  If the arrow is not then shot, it shall be scored a miss.

               The only exception to this rule will be where a dangerous situation exists. Determination of such will be at the Target Captains discretion or his alternate if it is the Target Captain in question.

6.9.14   The Field Captain may at his discretion, replace a target that becomes difficult to score accurately, with a new target.
