DIRECTORS TROPHY RULE CHANGE

I would just like to inform you of a change to the rules of the Directors Trophy which is the collective team scores from all six Intercounties shoots.

This suggestion was discussed last year but we felt that we would give the competition a year and then tweak it as necessary.

The Regional Committee have decided that this year’s event will be run as follows;

Rather than only Senior shooters scores counting to the overall team score, this year team totals will be decided from the top scoring EIGHT shooters of persons  who are entered as part of the official team from that county. The top eight scores can be taken from any of the four category classes e.g. Seniors, Ladies, Juniors & Vets. In the disciplines of FITASC & ABT the number will be the top SIX shooters scores.

Hopefully this will encourage Counties to field more individuals in Ladies, Juniors & Vets teams even if they do not have enough entrants to compete for the Intercounties trophies.

I would like to stress that this rule change in no way effects the Intercounties team scoring system of best 6 Senior scores from 8 count, or 2 Ladies scores from 4 etc, this system will remain in place and be run the same way as normal as a standalone competition.

Can I please ask you to make your Team Captains & Managers aware of this change?

If you need any clarification of this rule change please contact me.
