Archery World Cup Stage-3: New Rules Announced
Archery is changing things up!
The Archery World Cup is trying out new rules to make things faster and clearer.
One big change is fewer arrows in the first round, and another is that hitting the bullseye's 'X' will give you 11 points instead of 10.
This means archers will have to be extra accurate.
Some archers are practicing more aggressively to score those extra points.
While some archers think the changes are exciting, others are unsure about switching between the new and old formats.
Overall, the goal is to make competitions more exciting and reduce ties.
The Archery World Cup Stage-3 will feature experimental rule changes.
The number of arrows in the qualification round is reduced from 72 to 60.
An arrow hitting the 'X' ring will score 11 points instead of 10.
Archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das are practicing with the new rules.
The changes aim to make the competition faster and reduce ties.
