Procedures And Rules For The Calling And Scoring Of Targets

The shooter, upon his or her turn at the stand ,will follow a series of commands and protocol prior to calling for the bird.

All safety regulations and shot size for the ammunition will be commensurate with the governing rules set forth by the NSCA.

1. Shooters enter stand upon direction by the scorer at that station

2. Scorer will call “time.” From that moment the shooter has 15 seconds to audibly call out the chosen pair by which the scorer will hand write the targets chosen on the score card then audibly repeating the pair chosen. Upon confirmation from the shooter that they called the correct pairs chosen the trapper will call out “trapper ready.” The shooter will have a reasonable time to call pull. This will be repeated for every pair. The trapper must call the targets out as hit or miss then log the score on the card. Hitting the 2-3 combo will be scored as a 5 hitting the 2 but missing the 3 will be scored as a 2 and so on.

3. Upon completion of the five allotted pairs the trapper /scorer must tally the actual target score and log the results. When all five competitors have completed the station and shot all five pairs, the results are compared, and the high scores get the station points for 1st 2nd and 3rd place at each station. The trapper will log the station score in the appropriate column on the tournament provided score card.

4. When all 10 stations are completed the shooter with the most station points advances to the playoff.

5. All pairs for now will be presented as report pairs.

6. The scorer will be required to call out the pair and verbalize and the shot result (dead or loss).

7. The score card will be designed to account for the station score, and the actual targets chosen of the pair shot.

8. Any pair chosen can be repeated as many times as the shooter wishes and
