2010 U.S. Helice Team Selection Procedure
 
For 2010 USHA events, each Saturday and each Sunday event will be a 'qualifying event.'  Members with the lowest scores based on the point system (placing, event entry qualifier weight as outlined on the USHA website) of 5 events will be named to the United States Helice Team.
 
The events will be listed on the USHA website. 
 
The United States Helice team will consist of 5 men, 5 women, 1 junior boy, 1 junior girl.  The amount of funding and entitlements to be provided by USHA shall be based on Association available funds and at the sole discretion of the USHA Directors.  The team will represent the United States in the Match of Nations event at the World Helice Championships.  (June 10-14, 2009--Portugal (Ovar))

Premise:  Establishes a “selection process” format and series that enables shooters equal opportunity to qualify for one of the established berths on the USHA annually sponsored UNITED STATES HELICE TEAM. The number of berths shall be established by USHA annually prior to the first “selection match” of the announced shooting year.

            (5) Men: ---------------(3) Ranked and (2) Alternates

            (5) Women: ------------(3) Ranked and (2) Alternates

Additionally, USHA shall provide funding to assist with travel expenses for the top three (3) ranked Men and Women who elect to compete for the UNITED STATES at the FITASC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP annual event. The amount of funding to be provided by USHA shall be based on Association available funds and at the sole discretion of the USHA Directors.

The actual shooting year end date is based on the FITASC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP event schedule.  The first qualifying event for the 2010 team is the June 2009 event in Stockton, CA.

: USHA does reserve the right to add/delete events as deemed appropriate.

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, 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.
