Who decides the score of an arrow?

• Scoring takes place after each end. Values are called in descending order and written on two scorecards, one of which may be electronic.
• Questions about an arrow must be put to a judge before any arrow is drawn.
• A mistake on the card may be corrected before the arrows are drawn if everyone on the target agrees and initials it.
• Scorer and archer both sign the card. The archer is responsible for their own card.
• If two paper cards differ on an arrow, the lower value stands.
• If a signed total is lower than the true total, the lower total stands. If it is higher, the true total is used.
• In finals shot in turn, the archers do not walk to the target. Each names an agent who checks the scores and pulls the arrows.
• The director of shooting controls timing and safety.
• Appeals: through the team manager, in writing with a fee, to the jury of appeal. A judge's decision on an arrow's value, and on a team-round yellow card, cannot be appealed.

Archers scoring each other, with a judge only for disputes, lets a field of hundreds be scored at once. Making the archer answer for the card keeps everyone careful.
