Most Improved Archer

The Executive Committee have introduced a NEW AWARD to be introduced in our MILLENIUM year 2000 (partially sponsored by the Warringah Touch Football Club) – Details as follows:-

It is the intention of the Warringah Archers to introduce a new award for which any archer having a rating at the beginning of the year will automatically qualify. 

The objectives of the award are:-

• to recognise the archer who has improved the most, irrespective of how good they were at the beginning of the year
• to allow for the fact that an archer rated 12 can improve in numeric terms more easily than one with a rating of 80.

The calculation is simple and is applied to everyone with a rating as at the beginning of the shooting year;  or from when an archer first obtains a rating. The person with the highest improvement rating wins the award.

Maximum Rating = 120

Improvement Rating = ((120 – Rating at beginning of year) / (120 – Rating at end of year)) * 100
Example:  Archer A goes from a rating of 7 to 22 while Archer B goes from 91 – 95.  Who is “the most improved”?.  Archer A whose rating went up by 15 or Archer B whose rating went up by 4

 
Archer A = ((120 – 7) / (120 – 22)) * 100  = (113 / 98) * 100 = 115%
Archer B = ((120 – 91) / (120 – 95)) * 100 = (29 / 25) * 100 = 116%

In this example, Archer B is the most improved archer because it is harder to increase by 4 at the top end of the rating.

The best part is that you don’t have to worry about it, because all the work will be undertaken by the Executive Committee and the winning archer announced at our Club Presentation later in the year.  All you have to do is SHOOT.
