GREENVILLE – On January 6 the Tri-Village Archery Club hosted their 3rd Annual TV Archery Open Invitational at the Darke County Fairgrounds in the Youth building. There was a total of eight schools in attendance at this Invitational: Tri-Village (OH), Northeastern (IN), Tri-County North (OH), Union City (IN), Kauffman Academy(OH), Southern Wells(IN), Nativity Catholic School (IN), and Columbus South High School (OH). During the Invitational there were a total of 10 flights which started at 9 am and the last flight was at 6pm. Each flight allowed 28 students to shoot during that allotted time frame. The invitational allowed for 280 spots to be filled and we had a total of 243 shoot during the day.
During an archery meet the students will participate as an individual and as a team. To have a team score you must have at least 12 students with at least 4 students of the opposite gender and a maximum of 24 students per team. Only the top 12 students score counts towards the team score. So, an example would be 12 students in which 4 students are boys and 8 students are girls or vice versa. Some of the schools in attendance did not compete as teams their students competed on the individual level. If one or more students has the same score the results are then determined by how many tens each student got and so forth. A perfect score for a student would be all tens and a score of 300. A perfect team score would then be a 3600.
The results of the invitational are broken down into Elementary (4-5 grade), Middle (6-8 grade), and High School (9-12 grades) age groups and then individually into boys and girls. The final results of the tournament were as follows:
