WINTER AND SUMMER, SHORT/ LONG RANGE, AIRGUN & BENCHREST LEAGUES
Please refer to these Rules and Information on this page before you enter the leagues. Our intention, with this online system, is to simplify the league entry and scoring systems as much as possible and also to make all information available online, to all clubs who enter. We would like to encourage as many club captains to use the online method, of entering the leagues and scores for each round, as possible. Please don't hesitate to contact the League Secretary or Statistics Officer if you have any queries or problems.
GENERAL INFORMATION - RULES FOR ALL LEAGUES
These are general rules for all our leagues. Additional information for Benchrest leagues are shown below.
  1. Averages declared for club shooters, entered into the Account Info page must be taken from the best five of the last six short range targets shot. When entering any long range competition you must change the displayed average, on the league entry form, to show the long range average for that shooter. Benchrest league entrants' averages can be the best available average for first time entry to league.
  2. Entries to the leagues must be made online or entry forms must be with the League Secretary by the given 'Enter By' date to be included in the leagues.
  3. ALL our leagues are SELF-SCORING. ALL shot cards are to be signed by the shooter, witnessed and then verified by the Club Captain or Official who has been appointed as the Club Scorer. Scores are the responsibility of the Club Scorer/Captain and should be entered online directly by the Scorer. Any other club member who enters scores should be designated as a club Official in the club's online account.
  4. All shot cards should be gauged and scoring should, in all cases, be carried out in accordance with NSRA Rules, Section 6, Chapter 8 (Scoring). Short range cards must be scored outwardly with .22 gauge whatever calibre is used. Long range cards must be scored inwardly.
  5. Should there be insufficient entries for any particular competition in the CTSA leagues to create reasonably sized divisions, then that competition may be cancelled. Any fees paid will be reimbursed.
  6. Should Club Captains/Scorers not be able to enter scores online and need to send them by post, email or telephone then scores must be sent to the Statistics Officer, MrMalcolm Hunter (contact details on Contacts Page of this website) by the 'shoot by' date shown in the League Rounds' dates schedule.
  7. Scores to be entered are POINTS DROPPED ex 100 NOT points scored out of 100. e.g. Enter 6, if card score is 94.
  8. Course of fire for ALL leagues: one card, ex 100, per round, per competition to be shot unless individual and team cards shot concurrently.
  9. Cards can be shot and scores can be entered in advance of each round. You do not need to wait until a round has been completed before subsequent rounds are shot or scores entered.
  10. The automatic online system will not allow scores to be entered after the end date for each round. Should there be unavoidable difficulties in getting scores entered before the end of any particular round then please notify the Stats Officer or League Sec in the first instance as it is only they who are able to enter late scores. Extension to 'shoot by' dates of 10 days will normally be granted when requested.
  11. Scores not entered or notified to the Stats Officer or League Sec will be marked as NSR (no score received/recorded).
  12. Scores entered into the online database cannot be edited except by the Stats Officer or League Sec. Should incorrect scores have been entered please notify the Stats Officer or League Secretary in the first instance. Shot cards relative to the score discrepancy may be required for checking before any editing is carried out.
  13. ALL shot cards MUST be held by the Club Captain/Scorer for a month AFTER the last round in any season in case of a query over scoring.
  14. The Statistics Officer will be checking shot cards on a regular, though random, basis. Please send cards directly to him should he request them. Clubs that are unable to supply their shot cards when requested could be subject to disqualification from the league. Any discrepancies in scores found by the stats officer will be adjusted in the database accordingly. Stats officer's decision on scores is final.
  15. Correct stickers MUST be placed on each card shot. If individual and team cards are shot concurrently then both relevant stickers MUST be placed on each card.
  16. Targets used must be the current approved NSRA Pattern for each distance.
  17. Should a shooter be unable to shoot any given round/s for any reason, please contact either the Stats Officer or League Secretary immediately to discuss either an extension to the 'Shoot By' date or a substitution. Substitutes are permitted at any time through any league season, subject to average score and scoring rules set out in NSRA Rules, Section 2, Chapter 7, Paragraph 7.9.7.
