ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP  - 2010 COMPETITION STRUCTURE & SCORING SYSTEM 

Like almost every rifle club, the activities, and the results of such activities, go towards an annual prize.  The SSAA Sydney Branch centrefire rifle meet results contribute to the annual club championship.  Details of this championship are specified as follows...

SCRG has 2 annual championships running concurrently:
        - Unsupported Championship (includes courses IMC, VMC, AMC and 3PRB, or variants there of)
        - Supported Championship (for the Tactical Match Course).

Most meets have more than 1 match scheduled per day.  Each match will have those results count towards the respective annual club championship.  Results from all such matches/meets are recorded in the club championship progress ladder, and is available online via www.aihpa.com/Clubs/Sydney

All rifle specs will be run at each meet, and for the championship.  Competitors may use the same spec for every match at all meets, or change rifle specs to any combination for each different match - it is up to the shooter.  Competitors are responsible for ensuring the correct spec is noted on the scoresheets at each meet, before signing, so the results will count towards the right place.

Scoring/Results for the Annual Club Championship - Unsupported matches:
As there are many different unsupported (no rests) matches with varying degrees of difficulty and different “possible” scores (eg. 3PRB is out of 250, AMC is out of 300, VMC out of 400 and IMC out of 500) the results of a shooter from each match will be mathematically multiplied or divided to give a result out of 500.

Unsupported scoring example equations of the 500 base point system
- International Match Course (IMC) out of 500.  The raw score is out of 500, so that score stands for the championship.
- Vintage Match Course (VMC) out of 400.  The championship score is based on the equation of "score"/400*500.
- Australian Match Course (AMC) out of 300.  The championship score is based on the equation of "score"/300*500.
- 3PRB Match Course (3PRB) out of 250.  The championship score is based on the equation of "score"/250*500.

Note, if strings are added to any of the above, then dividing the possible score is increased by the addition of that additional string possible score amount.

Scoring/Results for the Annual Club Championship - Supported matches (Tactical Match Course):
Tactical Match Scoring: This match is fixed 20shot match, and the match is "open spec" for rifles, so championship tally results shall be based on the raw score out of 200.

Dec 2009 – SCRG XMAS Shoot.
The last Kokoda Track Memorial Shield shoot.
Annual Championships (final)

This December (final 2009) shoot was changed at the last minute, from an IMC to a VMC.  All shooting was restricted to 200m, due to the Australian Open Golf Championships being held at the NSW Golf Club almost next door to the ANZAC range.  The day was almost perfect weather, and the day ran very well consider the complexity of the new range use and bi-operation arrangements.  We are obviously successfully building the new arrangements into our program and procedures for complete transparency to the shooters on the day, allowing us to get on with the job of shooting…what we should be doing, and doing well.

The Vintage Match Course (VMC) was well run, with an extra 200 sitting string to make up the proposed 50 shot day.  The winners for this match were:

At the close of the VMC, while our HUGE BBQ feast (Steaks, beef and chicken sausages, lamb kebabs, the list goes on) was being prepared, we shot the old Silverdale Clay Knockout match, for fun.

The optical shooters shot first, and placed as follows:
            1st Brad Avard
            2nd Mark Guest
            3rd Bill Vlachos

Iron sights shot next, and after 2 relays of shooting offs, the final string placed shooters as follows:
            1st Matt Avard
            2nd Graham Smith
            3rd John Fabian
            Other finalist special mention to our young female shooter Toni-Ann.

After range packup, we headed to the clubhouse for our Xmas BBQ, and annual presentation.  We had a prize table packed with lots of goodies, which were awarded to the annual championships winners by spec, then filtered down to the place getters.  People had to be present to claim a prize (those that support, win).

Special thanks to John Waters, for organising the BBQ and meat, doing the cooking, and the generous donation of around $80 of ammo boxes, etc for the prize table.  Also special thanks to Graham Smith who donated other merchandise for the prize table, along with David Waters who put up some shirts and sweaters he brought back from Camp Perry last year.

Great thanks to all who continue to pitch in and help the SCRG when needed, Richard Ruppas and Roger Gleeson (who also helped with the days scoring), Craig Mahoney for his drink supplies, ute use, RO duties, etc, Edwyn and Eddy for their great job of catering the coleslaw, mega cheap bread rolls, Ian Bertenshaw for helping with catering, trailer towing, repairs, setup and packup, Dick Bennett (eagle eye) for always helping and being early, Al, Norm, Norm, all the supporters of the meets, the list goes on...

Finally, 2 of the biggest thanks of all.  Firstly to Matt Avard, who regularly drives the furthest of most shooters and continues to help out tirelessly at every meet, is absolutely committed to making these meets possible and run as well as they can.  Last, and certainly not lease, the very person who helped to allow our meets to happen in the first place, and who continues to fight for the meets to remain a fixture on the SSAA calendar, at his own expense of wits, time and courage, is the tireless Peter Cuddy (hats off to Peter – who will have the first Honour Shield shoot in his name).
