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.

—Marianne Williamson (b. 1953)
“To the extent to which genius can be conjoined with a merely good human being, Haydn possessed genius. He never exceeds the limits that morality sets for the intellect; he only composes music which has “no past.””
