So what exactly is a ranking round in archery?
Archery begins with a ranking round, in which archers shoot 72 arrows at a target 70 meters away in 12 rounds. Each archer has two minutes to fire off six arrows. 720 is the perfect possible score.
After being ranked, the archers then compete in pairs, with the first-ranked archer facing the 64th-ranked archer and so on.
