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:

    Nothing sets a person up more than having something turn out just the way it’s supposed to be, like falling into a Swiss snowdrift and seeing a big dog come up with a little cask of brandy round its neck.
    Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    The poem has a social effect of some kind whether or not the poet wills it to have. It has kinetic force, it sets in motion ... [ellipsis in source] elements in the reader that would otherwise be stagnant.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The vain man does not wish so much to be prominent as to feel himself prominent; he therefore disdains none of the expedients for self-deception and self-outwitting. It is not the opinion of others that he sets his heart on, but his opinion of their opinion.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
