Compatitions

There are six basic types of tournaments.  The double fita, fita, 1200 round, and the 900 round.  These types of tournaments are the tournament where its the archer vs. every other archer.  The other two types of tournaments are team rounds and OR's (Olympic Rounds).   These are the tournaments where one or a group archers go head to head with another.  Lets start with the one vs. all tournaments.  The double fita is a scoring system where each archer shoots six arrows six times, each once at one of the four distances you shoot.  Lets break this down a little more.  Each arrow has a max value of 10 points, which after six arrows accumulates to 60 points.  There are then six ends in every round so you can get a max score of 360.  You shoot this at your to farthest distances the first day.  The second day, you shoot three arrows twelve time, which accumulates also to 360.  Again you shoot this twice the second day.  If you do the math or 360 times four is 1440.  This double fita round is also referred to as a fourteen forty round, because of the max possible score.  Come back next week to learn about the next type of tournament the regular fita.
