Bow or crossbow - Target throwing
Spell balls, throwing weapons, or javelins
1v1 events are standard single-elimination tournament format.
Target events are from a fenced area against static targets of decreasing size. An ammunition limit and time limit will be in affect so both speed and accuracy are important.

The top 8 people in each event will earn points to determine the Olympians.
1st = 9pts ¤ 2nd = 7pts ¤ 3rd = 5pts ¤ 4th = 3pts ¤ 5th-8th = 1pt
The War and Cultural Olympians are determined by a simple total of points.
The Grand Olympian is the highest combined score that earned points in both categories.
To determine cultural entry placing, the entries will be judged by a panel of at least 5 judges. Each judge will assign a score of 1-5 using increments of 1/10th of a point. To determine the item's score, the high and low judges will be dropped and the remaining judges scores will be averaged. Only a persons highest scoring entry in each event will be used to determine placing.

If you can't make the event, entries can be shipped directly to the site, UPS and USPS are both reliable in this area. Be sure to include return postage and a copy of the registration form.
