Originally, we used the existing classification system which was a mistake on my part as there are so many who landed in Master Class, and realistically belong in a lower class. By looking at a shooter’s scoring average posted by the NSCA, you can determine how a shooter ranks against others in the game. So, we take their scoring average based mostly on 100-bird events divide it by 10 as our game is really 10 mini tournaments. over 10 stations and apply the deficit. We reserve the right to adjust the handicaps as the game develops. The handicaps are as follows: n Those with averages, 90% and above are considered SCRATCH PLAYERS… no handicap. n Those between 85 and 89 will be in the A division which will be allotted a two-point advantage. n Those between 75 and 84 will comprise of the B division will be allotted a four-point advantage. can be called in any order they wish. No limit on a specific target, however no target can be shot twice as a pair. You cannot call 2 on report 2. n Those between 65 and 74 will comprise the C division and will be allotted six-point advantage. n All others below 65 will be allotted 8 and will comprise the EIGHT BALL division.
9. In a 100-bird format, squads will be made up of 5 competitors of any classification lower division shooters will apply the given handicap per station added to their actual score. Each member of a squad will rotate in shooting order every stand and shoot first 2 times and shoot last 2 times during the 10 station round. Shooting every position 2 times per round. Shooting order will be random drawing straws etc.
The score card used in this event will be designed to not only account for the station score, but the pairs chosen.
If your NSCA published average has decimals and is not a round number, you will always round up. i.e.: 74.2= 75 average. We will reserve the right to alter or adjust the qualification scores for each division as the game progresses. If you regularly shoot in the below 50%, we will not be able to handicap this game to your advantage.
