2. World Archery Judge’s Training Aid – 2013 What is the Team Match Play?  The team match play differs from the individual match play by having three archers acting as one unit, shooting one by one within a short time frame, and who are depending on each other as “a team”.  The team match play consists of 4 ends of 6 arrows, two by each archer, and with cumulative scores for both recurve and compound.  16 teams proceed from the Qualification to the Elimination round. The team match play starts from the Elimination Round.

This routine is then repeated to finish the 6 arrows end.  In the Elimination Round the teams shoot simultaneously, while in the Finals Round they shoot alternately (World Championships)
