Scoring Rules

Rules will follow the USA Clay Target League State Tournament Rules which are as follows:

Team Competition Tiebreaking

If a tiebreaker is required for an event, the highest round score from each team will be used to break the tie. Subsequent score comparisons will be used if the highest score is tied up to the 5th score. In the event of a continued tie the reverse run tie breaker criteria will be used starting with the highest round score.

Individual Competition Tiebreaking

The longest reverse run score will start from the last target of the final round and count backwards until a missed target is reached to determine the tiebreaker score. If the reverse run(s) are tied, a shoot off will occur.

Individual Shoot-Off (TRAP ONLY-FOR AWARD PLACEMENTS)

All shoot-off qualifying individuals will be required to report to the designated shoot off area in front of the clubhouse at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the shoot off.

Each student athlete is responsible to pick up their own shells after the Session is complete. Names will be picked out of a hat for competition station order and positions.

The following station starting assignments will be drawn from a hat to determine the rotation of athletes for the shoot-off.

•     2 athletes – stations 2 and 4

•     3 athletes – stations 2, 3, and 4

•     4 athletes – stations 2, 3, 4, and 5

•     5 athletes – stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

(If more than 5 athletes are involved in the tie, they will be divided as equally as possible into two or more squads as needed.)

Shoot-Off Procedure

•     Round 1: 2 targets at each station from the 20-yard line, reverse run tie breaker if necessary. If athletes remain tied, then proceed to Round 2.

•     Round 2: 2 targets at each station from the 24-yard line, reverse run tie breaker if necessary. If athletes remain tied, then proceed to Round 3.

•     Round 3: 2 targets at each station from the 27-yard line, reverse run tie breaker if necessary. If athletes remain tied, then proceed to Round 4.

•     Round 4: Sudden victory, the shoot off ends when one of the final 2 athletes suffers a “Lost” target and the remaining athlete breaks the final target     in a given round.

In the event of competitors remaining after the 4th round, target speed will be increased and competition will remain on the 27-yard line until competition concludes.
