Classification – Each shooter must be classified by the TSTA Classification Committee. Your ATA card must be averaged and up to date. Shooters will be classified according to their known ability, which may exclude abnormally low scores. Five standard ATA classes will be used for singles and doubles.

Shooters who do not have a total of 1,000 16-yard targets registered with the ATA in the current and previous two years shall be placed in Class B or higher at the discretion of the Committee.

Shooters who do not have a total of 500 doubles targets registered with the ATA in the current and previous two years shall be placed in Class B or higher at the discretion of the Committee.

Junior and adult males who do not have a total of 1,000 handicap targets registered with the ATA in the current and previous two years shall be assigned penalty yardage of 23 yards or their handicap card yardage, whichever is greater. Penalty yardage for ladies, veterans, senior veterans, and sub-juniors who do not meet target requirements will be 20 yards or their handicap card yardage, whichever is greater.

Special Categories – All ladies, juniors, sub-juniors, veterans and senior veterans must declare their special category at the time of their entry. Without such declaration at the time of their entry, the shooter will not be allowed to compete for the applicable special category trophy. No shooter will be allowed to declare a special category after the first shot is fired in the event by the contestant. No exceptions to this rule are allowed per ATA rules.

Yardage Groups (4) – 19-21, 22-23, 24-25, 26-27 yards.
Early registration - Classification, squadding and cashiering services will be available at the clubhouse on Wednesday from noon until 5 p.m. Shooters may also squad in advance on PreSquad.com at no charge. Watch the PreSquad.com website for the opening and closing dates for this service.

Daily fees are $2.00 ATA and $2.00 TSTA, including Fun Day.

Re-Squadding – There will be a $10.00 re-squadding fee for shooters who miss their squad or who change squads after paying for entry. Re-squadding will be to the same trap(s) as the original squad.

Entry & Refunds – Refunds of entry fees, daily fees and options must be requested prior to the beginning of the event. Positively no refunds of any money will be made after the first squad in the event begins shooting, regardless of the time or day the event is to be completed. Shooters wishing to shoot for “targets only” will be charged the full entry fee stated for the event. All entry and options must be paid for in full at the time of entry. Juniors and sub-junior shooters will be charged the same entry fees as all other contestants.

Added Money – Added money in this program will be awarded with the corresponding trophies and will not be divided.

Option and Added Money Payoff – Payoffs will be available at a reasonable time after each event except Event 9. Payoffs for Event 9 will be made by check mailed after the shoot. No scores that affect payoffs will be changed after payoffs begin.

Trophies – No shooter may win more than one trophy per event. ATA rules will govern the awarding of ATA trophies. If a shooter’s score qualifies for more than one trophy, management reserves the right to determine the priority of each trophy to expedite determining winners and commencing shootoffs. Any shooter whose score might qualify him or her for more than one trophy may notify management of his/her preference BEFORE winners are determined at the end of the event. A shooter may not fall back from a class to a category trophy or vice versa if he/she is unsuccessful in the shoot-off.� However, a shooter may shoot off for event champion or place trophies and fall back to a class or category trophy.

Class Move-ups – Shooters who win or tie for a state or open class trophy in a singles or doubles event will move up a class for the next similar event. This rule will also apply to any shooter with the high score in his/her class and who elects to take a category trophy.

Shootoffs and Carryovers – Ties in Events 1, 3, 4 and 6 will be carried over to the next similar event. Ties in all other events will be shot off as soon as possible after the last event of the day. Shooters involved in ties have the responsibility to ascertain when and how their tie will be settled. Shooters not answering shootoff call will forfeit.

Attendance Pins and Other Awards – Each entrant will be awarded a Tennessee State Shoot attendance pin while supplies last.� Shooters who break 100 or 200 straight from scratch will be awarded a special TSTA pin on the first occasion only.

Shells – One vendor to have the exclusive right to sell popular brands of shells on the grounds. All ammunition must conform to ATA rules and will be subject to inspection. Using illegal loads will result in disqualification and reporting to the ATA.

Empties – Shooters are requested to catch their empties and keep them or dispose of them in containers provided. Empty shells on the ground are the property of the TCTC.

Traps & Targets – 12 PAT traps and White Flyer “New York” style orange targets will be used for program events.

Practice – Practice tickets or tokens will be $4.00 per 25 targets

Food – Lunch and snacks will be available on the grounds.

Business Meeting – The annual business meeting of members of the TSTA will be held in the clubhouse at 8:00 am Sunday morning prior to the Doubles Championship.

Enforcement of Rules – ATA rules will govern this shoot. Shooters who violate ATA or posted TCTC safety rules will be disqualified and will forfeit their right to trophies and money. Management reserves the right to refuse entry or eject any shooter or other person who interferes with the harmony of the shoot. Any person who consumes an alcoholic beverage in any quantity will not be permitted to shoot practice, event or shootoff targets the remainder of that day.� In accordance with ATA and TCTC rules, eye and ear protection are mandatory for all shooters.

Changes – Management reserves the right to change or cancel any part of this program because of weather, power failure or other sufficient cause.
