Here is the format of the event!
Here is a refresher on the format for the compound archery:
The match will be competed in five rounds, each round having three arrows each for the para-athletes.
At the end of five rounds (15 arrows in total for each archer), the archer with most points wins the game.
In case of a tie, we go to a tie-breaker shoot and if the score remains the same even then, the arrow that is closest to the center is deemed the winning shot.
