2024 Hoyt/Easton Pro/Am | Senior Known Pro Shootdown

Thanks for the coverage. It should be noted that scoring for this is shown and reported in a confusing way for viewers and shooters alike. It would be nice to see the total points before the arrow, with the actual score of the arrow being shot next to it so we know what's happening

Nice to see some different names in the finals.

Really wish you guys wouldn’t always put the winner as the thumbnail of the video.

If you don't want to know who won before you watch, go to the LIVE section of our channel and you can watch the exact same video without knowing the result. A year from now when people go looking for videos of their favorite archers to see them winning tournaments - that's why we use the winners in the thumbnail.

@@CompetitionArcheryMedia ​​⁠​⁠ totally understand your reasoning, and also agree with the commenter above. As a viewer who doesn’t always have time to watch live, I don’t want to know the results before watching. The issue is that these thumbnails show up on our suggested video feed, and it’s often one of the first thumbnails shown after loading the KZbin app since it’s a new upload. So after avoiding social for the weekend I hop on here to watch and I see the thumbnail of the winner. First world problem, but still, would rather see a collage of archers in the shoot down or something.

@@RKeaton From our standpoint, the winner won the right to be the thumbnail. We have already published everywhere who won each division, so it's no secret who won. These videos draw thousands and thousands of views AFTER this week. If I type in 2024 Super Bowl in KZbin, the videos that pop up have the Chiefs in the thumbnail.....If I type in 2023 Wimbledon Men's Championship, Carlos Alcaraz is the thumbnail. That's because they are the winners..... As I've stated...you don't have to watch any of this LIVE when it's originally broadcast. Right now, as you are reading this, you can click on the LIVE tab in our home page menu and go there to watch the finals broadcast without knowing who won. You avoided social media all weekend....all you have to do is keep avoiding it and go to the LIVE section of our menu. We are giving you exactly what you want AND we are giving the winners the thumbnail coverage that they earned.

@@CompetitionArcheryMedia ok I get your standpoint, I agree - the winner 100% deserves the spotlight. I'll just bookmark a direct link to your "Live" tab to avoid thumbnails in the future. Still sucks that I avoid socials and the thumbnail gives away the ending.
