How is the performance of the shooters measured?
Matches are determined by individual head-to-head duels. Each shooter fires 40 shots, and the athlete with the higher ring count wins the point for their team.
What happens if two shooters have the same score?
If a pair finishes with identical ring counts, the winner is decided by a single shoot-off shot. Kiano Waibel successfully used this method to secure a point for Titting against Marie-Christin Thurner.
