Handicap elimination scoring is a method used in archery competitions to even out the playing field between competitors of different skill levels. In this scoring system, each archer is given a handicap score based on their skill level. This handicap score is added to their actual score at the end of the round.
For example, if an archer with a handicap score of 5 shoots a score of 80, their total score for that round would be 85 (80 + 5). Meanwhile, an archer with a handicap score of 0 who shoots a score of 80 would have a total score of 80.
The handicap scores are determined based on an archer's previous performances in competitions or rounds. The idea is to give less experienced or less skilled archers a chance to compete on a more level playing field with more experienced or skilled archers.
As the competition progresses, the archers with the lowest total scores (actual score + handicap score) are eliminated until a winner is determined. This scoring system helps to create a more exciting and competitive environment in archery competitions, and it also allows archers of all skill levels to participate and enjoy the sport.
