Accuracy is the simplest of events to throw. It uses the the bullseye for scoring and the 20 meter circle for ensuring that the minimum throw distance is reached. The event is completed in 10 rounds, with one throw per round from the bullseye. Throws are scored by where the boomerang lands, no catching is involved. 10 points is awarded for landing completely in the bullseye, 8 point for the 4 meter circle on down to no points for being outside the scoring rings. If the boomerang lands on a line, say the bullseye (10 points) and the four meter ring (8 points) the points are averaged and throw in this case would be awarded 9 points.

Accuracy 100 Rules

Circles

  • Contested on circles of 20m radius (which also contains 2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, and 10m radius circles).

Points awarded

  • Most points for 10 throws wins

Required for score

  • 20m range flight.
  • Legal throw from inside the 2m circle.
  • Boomerangs must come to rest without touching or hitting anything except the ground.

Tandem Throwing (Optional)

  • Tandem throwing pairs: Two (2) throwers throw within a 3 second time period. The second thrower must throw within 3 seconds of the first throw, or his throw is disqualified.
  • Throwing order is to be determined by throwers.
  • In the event of an odd number of throwers, circle judge will assign a non-scoring second thrower to the last thrower.

Tandem Throwing Interference

  • If a boomerang hits the thrower, the score recorded is 0. If a boomerang hits the tandem partner, the tandem partner receives a score of 0 for that throw, and the thrower must take a mandatory tandem re-throw.

Scoring

  • Points scored according to where the boomerang comes to rest after a legal throw of at least 20m flight range:
    • Inside the 2m circle: 10 points
    • Inside the 4m circle: 8 points
    • Inside the 6m circle: 6 points
    • Inside the 8m circle: 4 points
    • Inside the 10m circle: 2 points
  • If the boomerang is completely within a single area not touching any lines, the score of that area is awarded.
  • If any part of the boomerang is over any part of a line, the score is the average score of the areas adjacent to the line.
  • Official score is the total of 10 (or more) throws.
  • If a thrower scores a perfect score of 100 points, he will continue to throw until a throw with a score of less than 10 points is obtained.

Round

  • The event includes 1 round of 5 turns for each thrower. All throws are scored (no optional throws).
  • Contestants throw in groups of 3, 4, or 5.
  • During each turn, the thrower throws 2 times. After he throws once, his score is recorded. Then he throws for the second time to complete the turn.
  • The second throw of the turn is after the center judge says the thrower can throw. The thrower has 15 seconds to make the second throw. – At the signal of the center judge, it becomes the next throwers turn. The thrower has 15 seconds to make the first throw.
  • Throwers in each group complete their 10 throws in rotation before the next group begins its round.

Warm Up

  • No practice throws once the warm up is over.
  • First group may warm up outside the active circle for approximately 5 minutes before the event starts.
  • Each remaining group of throwers may warm up outside the active circles during the first 4 throws of the preceding group.
  • All practice takes place in designated areas away from the active circles.

Re-throws

  • Re-throws are made at the end of the round for the throwers’ group and spaced like his other throws. For example, if the re-throw is from the second group the first group must make a non-scoring throw prior to the official re-throw.
  • Re-throws must be made in tandem, even if only one thrower is re-throwing. The score from the tandem thrower is not scored.

  • May be competitors.
  • 1 center judge.
