Many different events go to make up a boomerang competition.
They are usually held on a large field that is marked at various distances from a central point. The central bullseye consists of a 10metre radius circle divided up into five concentric 2metre scoring circles. Throwers take turns throwing from the centre and various scores are recorded. In all events there are minimum distance requirements, usually a boomerang must travel at least 20metres on the outward flight to qualify. Over thirty countries worldwide regularly compete in boomerang competitions.
