In the event of a tie score, which is the first tiebreaker used?

• A. The greatest number of center shots.
• B. The total time taken to shoot the last shot.
• C. The number of misses.
• D. The total score from outer rings.

Answer: (A)

When scores are tied, the first tiebreaker looks at who hit more center shots. Hitting the center zone more often shows greater precision and control, so it’s a natural way to distinguish shooters who end up with the same total score. Time to shoot the last shot measures speed, not accuracy, so it’s not used first. The number of misses could help later, but a tie-breaker focusing on center hits directly rewards the most accurate shots. The total score from outer rings is already part of the tied score and doesn’t differentiate the competitors on the first pass.
