Scoring and Format
100-Yard Bench

  • A 2 card qualifier will be shot at a distance of 100 Yards.

​​

  • Targets are to be set at exactly 100 yards from the front line of benches.

​​

  • 1 Final Round at 100 Yards.

​​

  • 25 targets. One shot allowed per scorable target. Target cards are 4 ft. x 3 ft. in size.

​​

  • If multiple shots are taken on the same target ring, the highest score will be taken. A -10 penalty will be assessed for any additional shots over 25 in the designated target area.

​​

  • Best edge scoring will be used in the scoring of targets. Plugs will be used to determine borderline shots.

​​

  • All rounds have a 30-minute time limit. In the event every shooter finishes before the 30-minute limit we will end the heat.

​​

  • Bench positions will be randomly drawn in advance for the semi-finals. On the morning of the final shooters will draw for bench position.

​​​​

  • If there is a tie, scoring will revert to the higher number of X’s shot. If there is a tie on the number of X’s the scoring will revert to the highest number of 10’s, then 9’s, then 8’s, etc. until a winner is declared. If in the almost impossible circumstance that both cards are shot exactly the same, there will be a tie, and prize money will be split accordingly for the finals. For finals qualification, there will be a coin flip to determine which shooter will advance in that situation.

​​

  • A .35 caliber plug will be used for scoring.
