Shooters straddle the shooting line
An end will be composed of 5 arrows with a time limit of 4 minutes
An archer may shoot all five arrows into the same spot on a multi-spot target and they will all still score.
The round will be composed of 12 scoring ends
Each round shall be preceded by two official practice ends
For qualifications: Tie breakers will be determined by who has more 7's. If still tied, highest number of 6's. Still tied, there will be a 1 arrow shootoff or a coin flip depending on availability of archers
For eliminations: Tie breakers will be determined by a 1 arrow shootoff, closest to the center
SCORING:
The scoring area values will be 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
The highest scoring area will be in the X ring, without touching the line (7).
The 6 score will be an X that touches the line.
The line that separates the scoring area shall be entirely in the higher scoring area (touch the line) except for the center area where the center area will be scored as a 7 and if touching the white line, will be scored as a 6. After 6 ends, the bottom shooters change to the top target and the top shooters change to the bottom targets.
An archer who shoots more than five arrows at the target will lose the arrows of higher value in that end. A penalty of one point is assessed for each arrow shot over the prescribed number of arrows
The penalty point comes only after the extra arrow/arrows are shot.

The indoor SYWAT format is the NFAA standard "300 Round," shot at 10 yards for cubs and 20 yards for all other age classes. Archers shoot 12 ends of 5 arrows each for a total of 60 arrows.
Targets are rotated between top and bottom after the 6th end.
Targets are the archer's choice of the NFAA 40 cm (blue) single spot, or the NFAA 5 spot. Scoring on the 40 cm target is 5-4-3-2-1. Xs score 5, but are counted as a tiebreaker.
The 5 spot target is scored 5-4. Xs score as 5, but are counted as a tiebreaker.
SYWAT INDOOR - AGGREGATE/TOUR CHAMPION AWARD
This goes to the top scoring shooter in their respective division and style for the SYWAT Indoor Season. Three SYWAT shoots and the State Tournament are required to be eligible for the SYWAT Tour/Aggregate Award. Your top three SYWAT scores plus the first day of your TFAA State Indoor Championship scores will be added together to determine the SYWAT Aggregate/Tour Champion for each division and style. You can only win for one division and style. The Aggregate/Tour Champion award will be presented at the awards ceremony during the TFAA State Indoor Championship.
SYWAT INDOOR - INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
Each individual SYWAT event is its own tournament. Winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be recorded for individual award purposes. Individual awards will be created and made available for pick-up at the TFAA State Indoor Championship. The individual award is a single award listing the location and place for each individual event, where the individual actually placed. You must place first, second, or third in three (3) or more separate events in order to receive a plaque. The last weekend before the State Tournament is not included in order to get awards ready in time for the tournament.
GLOBETROTTER AWARD
The TFAA Globetrotter Award is presented to the archer who has attended the most SYWAT shoots during a season. [The last shoot included is two weeks prior to State, in order to allow time for acquiring the trophy.] Multiple shoots at a single location (same weekend) count as one. There are two (2) awards annually, one for the indoor season and one for the outdoor season. In the event two or more archers tie for the most shoots attended, the following tiebreaker rules will apply, in order:
1. TFAA membership
2. Different SYWAT locations shot
3. Different TFAA districts shot
4. The furthest distance traveled to shoot
If there are two or more archers tied after these tiebreakers, then there will be no award for that season. If two archers in the same family tie for the award, the award will be issued with both names.
TFAA AWARDS
Top 3 places in each division/style will receive an award regardless of the number of participants.
