| FITA rules 2007 Here for information the present rules on timing and tied scores
When an athlete or a group of athletes are causing undue delay for that group or for other groups, the Judge observing this will warn the athlete or group verbally after which he and/or a fellow Judge may time the athlete, or group throughout the remainder of that round of the competition.
• In that case a time limit of four (4) minutes per target will be allowed from the time the athlete takes his position at the shooting peg, which he must do as soon as possible after the shooting position becomes available;
• A Judge, having observed an athlete exceed the time limit despite the above procedure, will caution him by a signed note on the scorecard, indicating the time and date of the warning;
• At the second and all subsequent warnings during that stage of the competition, the athlete's highest scoring arrow at the target will be forfeited;
In the event of a tie in score, the ranking of the results will be determined in the following order:
Greatest number of 5's (including inner 5’s);
Greatest number of X's (inner 5's);
After this athletes still tying will be declared equal. |
