The match after 600
Mathias Fullerton was the only archer to score 600 in Swiss Open qualification in Lausanne. He then left the quarter-finals with 149. Tim Jevsnik, his opponent, scored 150. Fullerton’s earlier performance was still a qualification result; winning that stage and winning a quarter-final are separate outcomes. To follow Jevsnik’s route to the trophy, the relevant comparison shifts from the size of 600 to the one-point margin in their match. That match’s scores decided which of the two advanced.[1]
Jevsnik won the next round 150-149 as well, this time eliminating Mike Schloesser. The world’s first- and second-ranked archers had lost to the world number eight by identical margins. Those two scorecards establish Jevsnik’s advantage in these elimination matches. They also show how close his opponents remained. The world ranking positions describe one hierarchy; the two one-point gaps describe two individual contests. Both matches still had to be won.[1]
A lower score, a larger margin
Fabrizio Aloisi was waiting in the final. Jevsnik won 149-147: he scored one point less than in either of the previous two rounds, yet his winning margin grew from one point to two. That is the revealing detail in the trophy’s arithmetic. Following only the winner’s own score does not tell us whether the final was closer. We also need the opponent’s total. Jevsnik’s 149 in the final is the same 149 Fullerton scored in defeat in the quarter-final, with a different opposing score.[1]
Schloesser’s 150 in the bronze-medal match also needs its round attached. He had scored 149 against Jevsnik’s 150 in the semi-final; his bronze match was against Priyansh. Those results do not tell us what the archers felt under pressure. Lausanne offers a narrower, more useful distinction: a qualification total, a match score and a margin over an opponent are three different pieces of information. Jevsnik’s title came from exceeding the opposing total in each round, even when his own total changed.[1]
