Archery is an optional activity for both men and women in the Commonwealth Games, which debuted in 1982 in Brisbane with 11 countries sending participants. The archery program will be held at the Archery Park in Glasgow from 7 August-10 August 2014. Of the total number of medals available in the games, the majority will be awarded to athletes who place high in the individual events they enter. However, if an athlete places high enough in the team event to qualify for the finals, then they will also receive a share of their country's medal quota for that event. The best example of this is the case of England, who sent only female archers to the Calgary games in 1988 but won three gold medals - one each in the women's team free game, the women's team recurve, and the woman's individual recurve. England also won the silver medal in the women's team open game. So even though they didn't place high enough to qualify for the final match, they still received a share of their country's medal quota for that event. Another example is the case of New Zealand.
