The elite tournament features exactly 32 competitors divided evenly across four distinct categories: compound women, compound men, recurve women, and recurve men, with eight athletes in each division. According to municipal officials, participants secure their spots by accumulating ranking points across the various stages of the international circuit held throughout the 2026 season. The winners of each division will be crowned the ultimate champions of the circuit.
