Archery Olympic Round - Sets

Sets

As of April 2010 the sets system will be used instead of the 12-arrow match. Elimination rounds will made up of up to 3 sets of 6 arrows, and the finals will be made up of up to 5 sets of 3 arrows. If a competitor wins a set they receive two points; if the set is drawn the competitors receive one point each. If a competitor has not won a majority of the sets (2 in a 3 set match and 3 in a 5 set match) the outcome will be decided by a single arrow shoot-off with the competitor closest to the middle being declared the winner.

Famous quotes containing the word sets:

    The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A continual feast of commendation is only to be obtained by merit or by wealth: many are therefore obliged to content themselves with single morsels, and recompense the infrequency of their enjoyment by excess and riot, whenever fortune sets the banquet before them.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
