Chrysler Clays

Rules, Regulations
and
other trivial information that might be of interest

League:
The league will consist of 300 targets, 50 targets will be shot every other week.

Location:
The league will shoot at Detroit Sportsman’s Congress every other Tuesday evening starting at 4:00pm. You will be able to begin your rounds as late as 8:00pm.

Cost:
Your league dues pay for the banquet/refreshments, prizes, trophies, and your first hat and name tag. (there is a $1.00 fine for each if you forget your hat or name tag)

The skeet rounds are paid to Detroit Sportsmen’s Congress. We are required to pay for all twelve rounds on the first night. The DSC will hold our punch cards and subtract the rounds as we shoot them. The DSC opens up for the Chrysler Skeet League only, every other Tuesday, but their regular hours for make-up rounds and practice are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You will be able to shoot any unused punches at the banquet or before the end of the league. Any unused punches will be forfeited after the banquet. (if you are a DSC member your punches will not be forfeited)

Teams:
The teams will be two shooters and the team partners will be randomly drawn on the first night of league
.

Handicaps & Classifications:
Handicaps and classifications will begin with the first target. Upon completion of the first 100 targets you will be classified for individual standings as follows:

(these are not National Sheet Shooting Association classifications)

Team handicap for the first 50 targets will be calculated from the first 50 targets.

Team handicap for the first 100 targets will be calculated from the first 100 targets.

Team handicap for the first 150 targets will be calculated from the first 150 targets.

Team handicap for the first 200 targets will be calculated from the first 200 targets.

After the first 200 targets are shot the team handicap is indexed and calculated by going back to the current 200 targets. (there is an example at the end)

Team handicaps for the shoot-off are the average handicap for the entire 300 targets.

If past members do not shoot the first 50 targets and do not make them up, their classification will remain the same as the last league.

Posting Scores:
All rounds should be shot on league night at the DSC; it is the shooters responsibility to post their score on the sheet at the head table in the range building on league night.

Make-Up Rounds:
If you can not shoot on league night, make up rounds can be shot at the DSC or any other skeet range and the shooter is responsible to call in the scores before noon of the following shoot. If the targets are not shot, you will be penalized by subtracting 2 targets from your average. (It is not necessary to turn in a copy of your score sheet) The DSC does not keep track of scores or call them in; the shooters must make sure the scores get posted!

Shooting Ahead:
If you know that you will not be able to shoot on league night, you may shoot ahead. Identify the rounds as, shot ahead, either on the score sheet or if you call them in. There is no limit to how far ahead you may shoot.

Scoring:
The teams will receive 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 points for a loss. The team with the most points in their division will be "Division Champions" and will be in the shoot-off for "League Champions".

Shoot-Off:
All of the "Division Champions" will shoot-off against each other and the winner will be the "League Champions". The Shoot-Off will be 50 targets, shot on the banquet night.

First 50 Targets:
If past members do not shoot the first 50 targets and can not shoot make-up rounds, they will be scored by using their last league average minus two targets. If past members do not shoot the first 50 targets and do not make them up, their classification will remain the same as the last league that their scores were taken from. New shooters must shoot the first 50 targets. If you can not shoot the first night of league, you may shoot ahead or shoot make-up rounds, but the rounds must be shot to remain in the league, because the new shooters do not a history that can be used.

Safety:
Eye and ear protection must be worn.

No field loads. Target loads only. Reloads are allowed as long as they are target loads.

Always keep your action open.

Be muzzle conscious.

Have Fun!


 

Handicap Explanation:
(The well known Hovatter Handicapping System)

The team score is subtracted from a perfect score and the difference is multiplied by 95% and divided by the number of team rounds used for the calculation.

Example:

50 targets    100 targets    150 targets    200 targets
member 1 21   20 22 19
member 2 + 15 + 19 + 18 + 14
team score 36 39 40 33
                 
possible 50 100 150 200
team score -  36 -  75  -  115 -  148
14 25 35 52
constant x 95% x 95% x 95% x 95%
13.3 23.8 33.3 49.4
divide by ¸  1 ¸  2 ¸  3 ¸  4
handicap 13.3 11.9 11.1 12.4

After the first 200 targets are shot the team handicap is indexed and calculated by going back to the current 200 targets.
