Field Target Competitions
Scoring and Grading in SWEFTA – 2011 update
1. Marking the cards
1.1.1. Competitors will mark their shooting partner’s card, and vice versa, unless there is an independent marker marking both cards.
1.1.2. Every target knocked down counts as 1 and will be marked X on the card. A hit on the faceplate counts as a miss, to be marked as O on the card.
1.1.3. Changes to the card and mistakes rectified must remain visible and must be initialled by a third person, not the shooting partner. This can be a marshal or someone on the next lane.
1.1.4. Cards must be handed in before 1530 on the day of the shoot. Cards not handed in will be deemed to include just one hit, and scored accordingly.
1.1.5. Cards that show signs of alteration not properly amended as in 1.1.3 above will be treated as not handed in.
2. Partners
2.1.1. Shooters must not shoot with the same partner on two successive occasions save for accompanying a minor.
2.1.2. Partners must be from another club.
2.1.3. The partner’s name must be written clearly on the score card.
3. Scoring
3.1.1. All scores at FT shoots will be shown as a percentage of the top score achieved on the day.
3.1.2. Some targets will be defined by the host club as eliminators; in the event of tied scores the competitor with the greater number of eliminators will be ranked the higher, but the percentages remain as scored.
3.1.3. Each competitor’s scores (as percentages) will accumulate through the league season.
3.1.4. Your best six scores will count towards grading position. (EGM decision 02-01-2011)
3.1.5. Your best six scores will count towards league position.
4. Shooting two rounds
4.1.1. Competitors can shoot the FT course twice, once with a PCP and once with a piston rifle. Only the first round can be accepted for grading and counting towards their club score; the card must be marked accordingly and the stats office informed so that the start sheet can also be marked.
5. Grading
5.1.1. Shooters are graded into four grades, AA, A, B and C.
5.1.2. Novice shooters will initially go into C grade and will be regraded after they have completed three shoots. Whatever scores they have achieved will migrate with them to their allocated grade.
5.1.3. Novice shooters who have not done three shoots by the end of the season will have those probationary scores carried over to the next season.
5.1.4. Shooters arriving in the SWEFTA region with an existing grade from either their previous region or a national BFTA grade will go into that grade. If they have different grades locally and nationally then the higher grade takes priority and they will be placed into that grade. They will not be regraded after their first three shoots.
5.1.5. All shooters will be assessed for regrading at the end of the season. Shooters who have not completed three shoots in the current season will remain in their previous grade.
5.1.6. Depending on the average score they will be placed in the relevant grade for the next season.
5.1.7. The break points between grades are:
Under 55% C grade
Under 70% B grade
Under 80% A grade
Above AA grade
5.1.8. Shooters can elect to shoot in a higher grade, and will remain in that grade for the rest of the season.
6. Club championship
6.1. FT Competition
6.1.1. The FT scores at each league shoot will be rank ordered within club. The top three scores from each club will be totalled.
6.1.2. Actual scores are used, not percentages.
6.1.3. After each round, the club totals will accumulate.
6.1.4. The FT championship will be awarded to the club with the highest accumulated number of targets knocked down at the end of the season.
6.2. Hunter Competition
6.2.1. For the purpose of determining the Hunter championship, all recoiling scores will be uplifted by additional points, one point per ten targets on the course, rounded up to the nearest whole number.
6.2.2. The adjusted scores will be rank ordered within club. The top three scores from each club will be totalled.
6.2.3. Actual scores are used, not percentages.
6.2.4. After each round, the club totals will accumulate.
6.2.5. The Hunter championship will be awarded to the club with the highest number of points.

8. National Grading
8.1.1. Shooters are entitled to have their scores forwarded to BFTA for national grading purposes. Each shooter must elect for this to be done; it will not be done automatically. The option is to have all scores or no scores forwarded; once the decision has been made to forward scores, they must all be forwarded.
8.1.2. This election stands for only one season at a time and must be renewed at the start of every new season.
8.1.3. Please inform the scores secretary if you wish to have your scores forwarded.

10.1.3. Reserves will be allocated after the eighth round to make up any vacant places, based upon the next ranked score from the shoot where the vacancy occurs.
10.1.4. A separate rule sheet exists for the Showdown competition.
11. Trophies
11.1.1. Trophies will be awarded to the first, second and third placed shooters in each of the four grades, plus the piston class, provided that no trophy will be awarded to a shooter who has taken part in fewer than six shoots during the season.
