The single-arrow shoot-off is still used indoors.

Following some confusion over the rules regarding tiebreaks at indoor archery tournaments, World Archery has issued the following clarification:

“The decision made by World Archery’s board in 2017 and that came into effect on 1 April 2018 to add a second shoot-off if both recurve archers shoot a 10 or both compound archers shoot an X10 only applies to outdoor events.”

“Indoor competitions are still run using the single-arrow, closest-to-the-middle tiebreak. The only reason for a second tiebreak to take place is if a judge cannot discern a difference between the two arrows’ distance from the centre after measurement.”

The indoor single-arrow shoot-off relates to rule 14.5.2.2 in book three of World Archery’s Constitution and Rulebook.

En prévision des Jeux Européens (European Games) qui se dérouleront à Minsk, au Belarus, du 21 au 30 juin 2019 et des Championnats du Monde Indoor de 2020, dont les dates et lieu ne sont pas encore connus, les critères de sélection pour ces deux évènements ont été fixés par la RBA et sont disponibles ici.
