Starred Shoots – A Statement from the SARPA Management Committee

The Management Committee would like to bring the following to the attention of all members and competition shooters.

All of the events on the 2010 calendar are organised and hosted by S.A.R.P.A. affiliated clubs.

Each individual club is solely and wholly responsible for the shoots that they host. This includes all aspects of safety, course format, marshalling, scoring and prizes.

Unless otherwise noted clubs generally organise competitions in accordance with UKAHFT and BFTA rules. If however a competitor has an issue with the way a shoot is run particularly with regard to safety, course format or marshalling then we would ask that they politely bring the matter to the attention of the host club at the time. If the issue is not raised at the time then the matter ‘dies’.  In turn SARPA expects every club to demonstrate a genuine willingness to discuss and if necessary address competitors concerns. After all we all want to improve our common sport and we can all learn from one another.

SARPA FT and HFT Championships

These events are open only to fully paid up members of SARPA. The Committee considers that there are sufficient fun and starred events throughout the 2010-2011 season to cater for non-SARPA members who may also be new to the sport, informal shooters, or invited guests of clubs.  

Top Scot Trophies

In 2008-2009 season there was a ‘Dead Heat’ between the top two shooters in the FT Top Scot competition. As a result the Management Committee feel it would be beneficial to highlight the following competition criteria before the 2010-2011 season begins.

- To qualify for a placing in the final end of season Top Scot League a competitor must complete a minimum of 6 starred shoots.

- If a competitor attends more than 6 starred shoots then his/her top six scores will be taken as the qualifying scores in the end of season Top Scot League.

- At every shoot the results “on the day” will be used. If there is a tie then a shoot off will be used to decide the final placings.

- Once the final placings have been decided points will be allocated as shown below.

• 1st               10 points
• 2nd               9 points
• 3rd                8 points
• 4th                7 points
• 5th                 6 points
• 6th                 5 points
• 7th                 4 points
• 6th                 3 points
• 8th                 2 points
• 9th                 1 point

If the end of season the points system still results in a ‘Dead Heat’ the affected competitors will be placed according to the greatest number of starred competitions won.

If the ‘Dead Heat’ still remains then the greatest number of second places and finally third places will be used to decide the outcome.
