Arrows at Gold - London 2012 Olympics, Women's Individual Preview

After the team events comes the men's and women's individual competition. Sixty-four archers will take part in a traditional elimination tournament through six rounds on their way towards the finals. Each contest pits two competitors head-to-head in a best-of-five sets match. Each archer will fire an arrow, the winner scoring two points with a point each for a tie. The first to six points wins and progresses on to the next round. If the match is tied 5-5 then a single arrow shoot-off is required whereby the winner is the athlete who hits nearest to the centre of the target.

As with the team event each archer is carded and dice rolls are compared to their real life performance in order to determine the score for each shot.
