General: Elimination rounds are based on competition in 'poules'. Each 'poule' plays on adjacent butts. The tournament will be arranged so that archers change lanes and shooting sides regularly. There are no byes, but 'poules' can be incomplete. In all elimination rounds each competitor will shoot 5 matches (5 x 12 = 60 arrows), competing against all other competitors in the 'poule'. (Round robin). Promotion to the next round is according to 'poule ranking' as well as on 'score ranking'. After each 'set' the two competitors determine the scores. In case of doubt judges will give a decisive verdict based on FITA regulations. Scores are to be recorded on the personal scorecards by a lane-agent or by the archer himself. Competitors are to check the correct recording of the scores before removing the arrows from the target. In all elimination rounds archers shall remove their arrows from the target themselves, unless different arrangements are agreed with the judges. The progressive score of an archer is displayed by the lane-agent at a flip score in front of the butt.
Dropout: After a dropout due to a technical defect only the current 'end’ can be continued. The archer has to be back on the shooting line before 'end of shooting'; missed scores in preceding 'ends' will be recorded as 'miss'.
Ties: In case of a 'winners tie' and/or a 'pretenders tie', a shoot-off type A (possibly followed by a shoot-off type B) will determine the competitors for the next round.
PRELIMINARY ELIMINATION ROUNDS (ROUND 0) FOR COMPOUND MEN ONLY
The Face2Face Archery Tournament format is designed on a maximum of 8 'poules' per category; 48 archers shooting together on 8x3= 24 butts. In the 2006 edition of the F2F however 96 archers start in the compound men category with two preliminary rounds of 8 'poules' each and continues in the 1st elimination round with 48 archers. The 16 winners and 16 second-bests unquestionably proceed to round 1, while 16 others proceed on 'score ranking' over the whole category. 1st ELIMINATION ROUND (ROUND 1)
Number of competitors: 48. Competitors are partitioned into 8 'poules', to be determined by drawing lots in a directed procedure. Until the 2nd elimination round competitors of the same team shall not be placed in one 'poule' (depending on the number of team members). At the end of round 1 in each 'poule' the 'poule ranking' determines the winner and second-best, who will unquestionable qualify for the next round. Besides these 8 winners and 8 second-bests, 8 competitors will qualify for the next round according to 'score ranking'. 2nd ELIMINATION ROUND (ROUND 2)
Number of competitors: 24 (8 winners, 8 second-bests, 8 on 'score ranking' from round 1). Competitors are partitioned into 4 'poules', determined by a fixed schedule. This schedule implies an equal number of winners, second-bests and best on 'score ranking' from round 1 in each 'poule'. At the end of round 2 'poule ranking' determines the 4 winners and 4 second-bests who unquestionably qualify for round 3, 'score ranking' determines 4 other competitors to proceed to the next round. 3rd ELIMINATION ROUND (ROUND 3)
Number of competitors: 12 (4 winners, 4 second-bests, 4 on 'score ranking' from round 2). Competitors are divided into 2 'poules', determined by a fixed schedule. This schedule implies an equal division of winners, second-bests and best on 'score ranking' from round 2 in both 'poules'. At the end of round 3 in both 'poules' the 'poule ranking' determines the winner and second-best to qualify for the semi-finals. SEMI-FINALS
Number of competitors: 4 (2 winners and 2 second-bests from round 3). In the semi-finals the winners of the two 'poules' in the preceding 3rd selection round will compete against the second-bests of the other 'poule'. (Two matches, the one after the other).
Shooting procedure: Competitors will shoot alternately, one arrow at a time. Compulsory order of shooting at the 'target face': Top-Middle-Bottom. Wrong target= score M (nil). Shooting time allowed per arrow: 20 (green) + 10 (yellow) = 30 seconds. One archer starts the odd sets, the other archer starts the even sets. The judge will draw lots to decide who starts the odd sets. Competitors remain behind the shooting line. The (semi-) finalists need 2 sets of arrows. After each end judges decide on the scores. These judgements are decisive and directly shown to competitors and spectators. The competitor who wins 4 sets ('best of seven') proceeds to the final for place 1 and 2, the loser will compete in the final for place 3. FINALS
Number of competitors: 4 (2 winners and 2 losers from the semi-finals). Winners of the semi-finals for place 1 and 2, losers of the semi-finals for place 3. The procedure of shooting is according to the procedure of shooting in the semi-finals. ('Best of seven'). Finally
If situations should arise for which no provisions are made in these regulations, the tournament board (1 member of the tournament organization + chairman-judge) will decide how to act. In other cases the organizing committee of the tournament makes a decision. Disclaimer
