4 Scoring: 1) An arrow shot before or after the specified time, or out of sequence, will be considered as being part of that end and will cause the athlete to lose the highest scoring arrow of that end, which will be scored as a miss. 2) In the event of an equipment failure the athlete will call a judge while stepping back from the shooting line. Extra time may be given to make the necessary repairs. 3) Scoring will take place after each end of five arrows: 4) Scorers will enter on scorecards the value of each arrow in descending order. 5) An arrow will be scored according to the position of the shaft in the target face. If the shaft of an arrow touches two colors, or touches any dividing lines between two scoring zones, that arrow will score the higher value of the two zones involved. 6) Neither the arrows nor the target face will be touched until the value of all the arrows on that target butt have been recorded. 7) If more than the required number of arrows should be found in the target butt or on the floor near the target butt or in the shooting lanes, only the five lowest in value will be scored. 8) When five spot faces are used, arrows may be shot in any order, but if more than one arrow is shot into the same scoring area, both (or all) arrows count as part of that end, but only the lowest value arrow will score. The other arrow, or arrows, in the same spot will be scored as a miss, or as misses. Any arrow missing the target face will be scored as a miss. 9) All arrow holes in the scoring zone will be marked every time when arrows are scored and drawn from the target face. 10) Arrows embedded in the butt and not showing on the face can only be scored by a Judge. 11) An arrow hitting: a) The target butt and rebounding, will score according to the mark it makes on the target face, provided that all other arrow holes have been marked and an unmarked hole or mark can be identified; b) Another arrow in the nock and remaining embedded in it, will score the same value as the arrow struck; c) Another arrow, and deflecting into the target face will score as it lies in the target face; d) Another arrow, and then rebounding, will score the value of the struck arrow, provided the damaged arrow can be identified; and e) A target face other than an athlete's own target face, will be considered part of that end and will score as a miss. 12) For ties occurring in all rounds: Greatest number of 5X s, greatest number of 5's; greatest number of 4's; and after this athletes still tying will be declared equal. 13) Scoring System: 40 cm Single - 5X, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 5 Spot 5x, 5, 4 60 cm and 40 cm color 10X, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or M for Miss
