For the 2005 US Helice Team selection process, events have been preliminary scheduled for the following locations: USHA does reserve the right to add/delete events as deemed appropriate.

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.
