How do I register a Weighted Average (WA):
An registered archer must have competed in a minimum of (4) ABO / 3-Di sanctioned tournaments within a revolving 12 month period.
From these sanctioned tournaments the best (4) scores (S) are taken and the following calculation is applied:
S1 being the Oldest
S4 being your Most Recent (MR)
Most Recent may not be older than 90 Days
Weighted Average (WA)
(S1 x 0,15%) + (S2 x 0,20%) + (S3 x 0,30%) + (S4 x 0,35%)
