For those concerned about this...
>From what was explained at Steppes, by the Society and Kingdom Archery
Marshals, in the last few years at Gulf war there have only been less than
half a dozen white diamond archers registered. From the same conversation it
appears they are saying that anyone has the opportunity to yield before
being struck. If a combatant is struck after placing their weapon on their
head and shouting "I yield" then the marshals are more than willing to offer
a fighter who might strike a yielded archer a trip to the Marshals Court.
Like most on field incidents if an archer was yielding and was struck
despite that would need to bring the incident to the attention of the
marshals on the field when the strike occurred. Fighters violating a yield
face the likelihood of loosing their authorization card.

Fighters would also be forewarned to carefully watch archers to make sure
they if they are yielding or not before going for a kill. Now an archer
caught in a position where they could be struck on the field and who did not
want to be struck but failed to yield in the face of a possible pummeling
would of  course want to yield or they should expect to take a hit.
