Course Design - MAAC Rules.

To make it more clear to all.

The number of reducers to be used on League Matches must not exceed 55% of the number of targets.

We are using 15 lanes each containing 2 targets. The first round is 30 targets then we shoot lanes 1 till 10 for the extra 20 targets to complete 50 targets.

55% is 28 targets hence we need to have at least 1 reducer target per lane that will amount to 25 reduced targets which is within specification.

For nationals can have up to 70% reduced targets that is equivalent to 35 targets.

Now for reducer sizes.
30mm up to 40 meters - Free style targets
20mm up to 30 meters - Free style targets
15mm up to 20 meters - Free style targets
20mm up to 20 meters - for Standing and Kneeling
30mm up to 30 meters - for Standing and Kneeling

Positional Targets can be up to 40 meters.

Beyond 40 meters all targets must be 40mm for free style.
Beyond 30 meters all positional targets up to 40 meters must be 40mm.

The number of positional shots (standing or kneeling) must not exceed 20% which is 10 targets for a league competition. For nationals and international events this can go up to 30% or 15 targets.

Example how to set up with 15 targets for a course of 50 targets.
Lane 1
1 - Positional - Reducer 20mm - Range up to 20m
2- Free style - 40mm - Range beyond 40m

Lane 2
3 - Free style - Reducer 30mm - Range up to 40m
4 - Positional - 40 mm - Range between 30 and 40m

Lane 3
5 - Free Style - Reducer 15mm - Range up to 20m
6 - Positional - Reducer 30mm - Range up to 30m

Lane 4
7- Free Style - 40mm - Range beyond 40m
8- Positional - Reducer 20mm - Range up to 20m

Lane 5
9 - Positional - 40mm - Range between 30 and 40m
10 - Free Style - Reducer 15mm - Range till 20m

Lane 6
11 -Free Style - Reducer 20mm - Range till 30m
12- Free Style - 40mm - Range between 40 and 50m

Lane 7

Lane 10
19 - Free Style -Reducer 30mm - Range till 40m
20 - Free Style - 40mm - Range beyond 40m

Lane 11
21 - Free Style - 40mm - Range beyond 40m
22- Free Style -Reducer 30mm - Range till 40m

Lane 12
23 -Free Style - Reducer 20mm - Range till 30m
24 - Free Style- 40mm - Range till 50m

Lane 13
25 - Free Style - 40mm - Range between 40 and 50m
26 - Free Style -Reducer 30mm - Range till 40m

Lane 14
27 - Free Style - Reducer 20mm - Range till 30m
28 - Free Style - 40mm - Range till 50m

Lane 15
29 - Free Style - Reducer 15mm - Range till 20m
30 - Free Style- 40mm - Range till 50m

Hence in round 1 you will shoot lanes 1 to 15 total 30 targets out of which
16 are reduced (since lane 3 both are reduced) - 5 are positional -
In round 2 you shoot lanes 1 till 10 for total of 20 targets out of which
11 are reduced - 5 are positional.
This amounts to 27 Reduced (in spec) and 10 positional (in spec) out of 50 targets.

Hope this is clear.

2011-2012 Field Target Season.

This next FT season will see some changes and will be conducted according to the NEW MAAC FT Core Rules that was just finalized this week. MAAC FT Core Rules

The season will be composed of MAAC FT league and MAAC FT Nationals.

League Matches.
There will be a number of FT Competitions (6+) as part of the league series.
Each Match will be logged and each competitor score will be recorded. The best 6 scores will be added to decide the 2011-2012 league winner on the last Match. This is to give every one the possibility to participate even if cannot attend all the Matches.

For each match the competitor will also be graded and an average grade will be automatically settled upon 6 matches irrespective of the number of matches the shooter attended.
The gradings are as follows :
Grade A shooters 80% Plus
Grade B shooters 70 - 79 %
Grade C shooter 60 - 69%
Grade D shooter up to 59%

Grading is required to promote better this sport and give chance to every one.
Because if the number of entries to a competition are adequate then prices can be set for grades and classes. Each Competition will have 2 standard classes PCP and Spring, other classes can be included.

Nationals.
The Nationals will be the peak of the MAAC FT season, this will be set on 2 or 3 matches that can be done in separate weekends. For one to qualify for the Malta team 2012, he/she must have at least took part in 3 league matches during the year. Others who did not participate this minimum may participate but only for the price and not the Malta Team Colors. The National Scores plus the best 3 scores from the League will be added for the TOP 5 Ranking irrespective of entry class.
