Event APR
Each accepted scorecard produces an Event APR for that round—derived from arrow score distribution on a common 70 m / 122 cm reference, with format and condition adjustments where required.
APR
Archery Performance Ratings
One performance scale for competitive archery—Event APR from each scorecard, published ratings on the leaderboard, and full documentation at ratings.nez-sports.com.

Production snapshot
Current statistics and sample analytics from the APR database at ratings.nez-sports.com.
How APR works
A practical split between “how good was this round?” and “how strong is this archer over time?”
Published rating
Leaderboard ratings combine Event APR values over time with recency decay and a Glicko-style update (including rating deviation). The published number reflects current form, not a single event.
What APR is not
APR does not replace World Archery classification, national team selection, or coaching judgment. It is a transparent performance index built from submitted results on defined rounds.

- What is APR?
- The Archery Performance Rating is a single number for your competitive shooting level. Every qualifying score is translated to a common reference—arrow average on a 122 cm WA face at 70 m, multiplied by 100. An APR of 850 means 8.5 per arrow on that reference; every 10 APR points is about 0.1 per arrow.
- How is this different from a national ranking?
- National rankings are often positional at specific selection events. APR is performance-based and absolute—it compares what you actually shot, adjusted for round format and event weight, across countries and years.
- What is Event APR vs. the leaderboard rating?
- Event APR is the ingredient from one scorecard. The published leaderboard rating aggregates many Event APR values over time with recency decay and uncertainty (±RD)—similar in spirit to a Glicko-style rating system.
- Is APR official?
- APR is developed by NEZ Sports as a research and analytics tool. It is not affiliated with World Archery, USA Archery, or any governing body.
