AN EQUITABLE POINT SYSTEM FOR THE 
YORK ROUND. 
By O. L. Hertig, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
The present allotment of points to the various 
ranges of the York round is as follows: 
Points. 
Total score . 2 
Total hits . 2 
Score at 100 yards. 1 
Hits at 100 yards. 1 
Score at 80 yards. 1 
Hits at 80 yards. 1 
Score at 60 yards.•. I 
Hits at 60 yards. 1 
Total . 10 
The York round, as most of us know, consists 
of 72 arrows at 100 yards, 48 at 80 yards and 24 
at 60 yards; 144 in all. 
A glance at the above apportionment of points 
reveals a decided lack of balance and a manifest 
lack of justice to the longer ranges. 
The result of 24 arrows at the short 60 yards 
is given the same value as the result of 72 ar¬ 
rows at 100 yards. Not to mention the 48 at 
80 yards. 
The absurdity of this is self evident. Surely 
no lover of the longer archery ranges could have 
had anything to do with the perpetration of such 
a joke. I imagine that some wise old 60 yard 
expert put one over on his fellow archers in the 
formulation of the present point system. 
I like the point idea, for it presents a number 
of very fascinating uncertainties that do surely 
add zest to the sport; but the apportioning of 
points should be equitable. 
I hope I may not tax the patience of the older 
members of the association when I present the 
following as a more sensible and more rational 
system: 
Points. 
Total score . 6 
Total hits . 6 
Score at 100 yards.•. 3 
Hits at 100 yards. 3 
Score at 80 yards. 2 
Hits at 80 yards. 2 
Score at 60 yards. 1 
Hits at 60 yards. 1 
Total . 24 
Does the above not seem to be a well balanced 
proposition? It surely does to me. There is only 
one defect: The 60 and 80 yard ranges still have 
an advantage over the 100-yard, inasmuch as it 
would be difficult to assign to a given number 
of arrows a specified value for a specified dis¬ 
tance. 
As it is, each 24 arrows figure for one point 
for score and one for hits, and when it comes to 
the value of total score and hits, I reckon on a 
basis of 144 arrows or six times 24; hence the 
allotment of six points for total score and six for 
total hits. 
The National Association has abolished the 
point system from the American round decisions. 
This is right, but in the York round such a 
variety of conditions presents itself that the point 
system adds an undeniable charm to the game. 
Let the York be decided by a just point system. 
Let the American be decided by total score; but 
let him, whose combined score of the two rounds 
with hits added, reaches the largest total, be 
awarded the title of National Champion.
