The 1998 All-Around World Championship encompassed six events, two styles (Traditional and Open) and Index and Elimination shooting over three days to determine the best in the world.
The picture above shows Mark Hullen (left) and Lhanie Clark shooting 4" balloons @ 8'. Although men and women are often on the line at the same time, they compete in separate divisions.
 
Dinah Elrich completing a string of Double Balloons while Larry Jelinek keeps time. As you can see from the timer close-up, Dinah shot a .547 on the left, and .773 on the right (a .226 cross-over). Having shot a successful string (both balloons hit), the time entered on the score card for this round would be a .773 (the time on the last balloon).
