At each of these events, one 30 target event shall be
designated a “selection match” and the shooters scores for that match shall
be recorded and maintained by the USHA secretary. At the larger multiple day
meets, the “selection match” shall be held on Saturday.
Shooters must be a member in good standing of USHA and
must compete in a minimum of five (5) “selection matches” to compete for
berths on the US HELICE TEAM. “Qualifying points” shall be earned based on
the shooter’s event scores and thus finishing position relative to other
competing participants at each of the “qualifying matches” ( ie: 1 point
for first position, 2 points for second position, 3 points for third, etc.
). Shooters who tie for a finishing position at a “selection match” shall
each receive their respective earned “qualifying points”. Additionally,
there shall be an “Event Weight Factor” which shall be added to all
“Qualifying Points” based on the following schedule:
Twenty or less participants:
Add 0.50 points
Twenty one to thirty
participants: Add 0.45 points
Thirty one to forty participants: Add 0.40
points
Forty one to fifty participants: Add
0.35 points
Fifty one to sixty participants: Add
0.30 points
Sixty one to seventy
participants: Add 0.25 points
Seventy one to eighty participants:
Add 0.20 points
Eighty one to ninety participants:
Add 0.15 points
Ninety one to hundred participants:
Add 0.10 points
Over one hundred participants: Add 0.05
points
A “participant” shall mean those individuals only who
are eligible and elect to compete in the “Selection Match”.
At the end of the yearly selection period, typically
March or April, the shooters with the lowest five (5) event aggregate
“qualifying points plus applicable event weight factors” shall be offered
established berths on the US HELICE TEAM for that calendar year. If any of
the shooters decline subject berth, the next shooter “in line” shall be
offered a berth until the pre-determined number of team members is
established.
Records: Hosting clubs shall be
responsible to forward timely and accurate records to the USHA for
“qualifying match” results. USHA shall be responsible to record and publish
“standings” on the USHA web site in order for competitors to be able to
determine relative ranking and position.
Programs: In order for the “qualifying
match” to be sanctioned by USHA, the event must be conducted per established
USHA rules and regulations and receive USHA approval prior to event
advertising/publication. This includes shooting from a common distance,
common ring size and common target speed/setting (allowing for weather
conditions). USHA referees must preside. All USHA decisions regarding event
eligibility shall be final.
USHA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY/REVISE THIS
SELECTION PROCESS FOR JUST CAUSE AS DEEMED APPROPIATE BY USHA.
