Team recurve open

Ranking round

All recurve archers, male and female, take part in the initial ranking rounds, leading to their seedings in the respective individual events. Simultaneously, the highest ranking scores posted by each nation in the men's and women's event respectively are added together to create the ranking for the mixed team recurve event. The archers posting those scores then become their country's designated team in the knockout stages of the team recurve event.

Competition bracket

Following the ranking round and seeding, the teams were drawn, by rank, in a single elimination tournament, save for the third place match for bronze for the losing semifinalists.
