Saturday Night Mixed Equipment Team Round (This event is counting towards awards):

·      The Saturday Mixed Team Shootdown is conducted in front of the spectators in an arena area

·      There must be at least 2 Teams to constitute a competition for award

·      Each school may participate with one team of 3 archers

·      Schools select their own teams

·      The teams will have three different types of bows:

o   At least 1 compound bow (only one Open and/or one Hunter per team)

o   At least 1 Olympic and/or Barebow (only one of each)

o   At least one female archer on each team

·      2 Stakes will be set, one at a 45-yard max and one at a 30-yard max (known distance)

·      All compound bows will shoot from the 45-yard max stake and all recurve/barebow will shoot from the 30-yard max stake

• Back stake archers will shoot first followed by the front stake archers.  Teams must shoot 3 arrows in 4 minutes from the signal to start.  This allows teams with 2 compound bows time to finish shooting if there are teams with 2 recurve type bows shooting from the close stake
• Each team will shoot one arrow per archer at 5 targets in rotation
• Teams decide by coin toss or other method which side they will shoot from and will continue to shoot from that side throughout the event
• Start will be a “shotgun” start
• Teams that start on targets other than #1 will rotate out and queue up, waiting their turn for target #1 so they may shoot the remainder of the targets
• 5 pairs of targets will be set so that there are 10 teams shooting simultaneously providing for double scoring
• Aggregate scoring will be used to determine winners.  First total score, then number of bonus rings. If there is a tie in score and bonus rings for 1^st place there will be a 1-arrow, closest to the bottom 12 shoot-off to determine the winner. Each team member will shoot one arrow in rotation and the score and distance of the closest arrow to the center of the lower 12 will be measured.  The team with the highest score or the arrow closest to the center of the lower 12, in case of a tie score and tie in bonus rings, will be the winner.

Changes to composition of teams may be submitted up to 1 hour prior to competition.
