Rules

R.M.A.C. 100 BENCHREST

SCORING & FORMAT:

  • 2 Qualifying Rounds 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 3 ft. x 4 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 border line shots.
  • All rounds have a 30-minute time limit. In the event every shooter finishes before 30-minute limit we will end the heat.
  • Bench positions will be randomly drawn in advance for the semi-finals. The morning of the final shooters will draw for bench position.
  • There will be 20 benches on each range, so 20 shooters for each heat. We are planning on 7 Pro heats and 3 Sportsman Heats. There will be 20 Finalists in the Pro Class. We will take the top 3 from each squads. This means that the lowest 3rd place score from the 7 Pro heats will not make the finals. The Sportsman class will have 18 finalists (top 6 from each squad).
  • If there is a tie, scoring will revert to the higher number of X’s shot. If there is a tie on 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.
  • There will be a $50.00 fee to challenge a target score. If an error in scoring is found the $50.00 will be given back to the shooter. Shooters may only challenge their own target.
