3. Schedule
This isn’t a rule test – but an operational one.
The 2025 Hyundai World Archery Championships in Gwangju (Korea) will feature six days of arena matches, meaning more archery in front of the crowd (and cameras) than ever before. At the same time, the eliminations field will host the very early stages of competition for other categories.
It’s a massive change for international events – which normally only operate one field at a time.
But with travel and hosting costs increasing, keeping the length of tournaments as short as possible to ensure teams can compete. Antalya features an overlapping Saturday, when compound finals will run concurrently with the last recurve eliminations.
Competition starts on Wednesday, rather than Tuesday.
The test: Overlapping schedules.
