Team Match
The top for individual scores from each team will count as the clubs team score. An individual may fire more than one discipline each week and that person’s top score can be used for the team score, however only one score may be used.
Handicap score, if a team has fewer than four shooters then a team will automatically receive a score for one additional shooter, this score will be tabulated by averaging the top three shooters and then multiply that score by 75%. This handicap is good for one additional shooter only, the score does not count towards any individual shooter, it shall only county towards the team result for that week and the team’s season total. For example if the top shooters have an average of 390 you would multiply by 75% for a 292 score added to the team result.
Match results will be reported to team captains/contacts and individual unaffiliated competitors weekly. Via e-mail and can be seen directly at www.PlattsburghRodandGun.com, individual shooters make sure the league has your e-mail address.
To be eligible for final end of the season ranking a shooter must fire in a minimum of
50% of the league matches.
