Award Entitlement
.... shall be based upon the following criteria, in order of numerical priority

A Member who places 1st through 3rd in a majority of Trophy Matches during the year, shall be declared the winner of their placement standing, with appropriate points awarded for first, second and third placement.
Award Point totals shall be used to determine winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each Division or Class competed in.
Ties in Award Points shall require affected shooters to compete in a "mano a mano" man against man on double steel pepper poppers at 10 yards. Draw and shoot down your popper first, 3 out of 5 runs determines the winner.
Awards are also available for Classes within each Division, providing that a minimum of four (4) shooters of the same class compete within any division.
