SUMMER LEAGUE RULES Revised March 2010
A team roster will consist of no more than twelve shooters, with all shooters being current club members.
2. A shooter may shoot for only one team in each night of the league.
Team rosters must be signed up with the league secretary on or before the fourth night of league shooting.
Shooting fees will be $40.00 per team regardless of the number of shooters or if the team is a "NO SHOW" and forfeits that shoot.
The team captain is responsible for collecting the fees and sign-up his team to shoot.
After sign-up, the team must be ready to shoot when it is called out.
Only members on the team's roster are allowed to shoot.
A team must put at least four shooters on the line or forfeit. If a team is one shooter short, the fifth score will be the average of the four shooters shooting (dropping any fractions) minus four targets.
If a team forfeits more than once in a half, the team loses all points earned in the half.
Any team that forfeits must have fees paid ($40.00) for the night of the forfeit before the team shoots their next league shoot.
Practice rounds may be awarded for forfeits.
The first night of the league, teams that were in the league last year will start at the yardage they finished at last year. New teams will start at the 20 yard line. On the first night of the league, the shooters may be listed on the score sheet in any order determined by the team captain.
Trap designation for a team will be the first trap available based on the order of score sheet submission. There is no priority for league or practice. If a team's score sheet is removed after its original submission and resubmitted, it will be placed at the end of the order.
After the first night of shooting, the teams will shoot at their assigned yardage with the team's highest average shooter on position one, the second highest average shooter on position two, etc. All shooters averages will be determined by their total targets broken for the year divided by the number of rounds shot (total running average).
Any new shooter on any given night of the season will be listed in any order after all shooters with established average have been listed. No shooter without an established average will be allowed to shoot in the shoot-off. Established average requires the shooting of at least three league rounds to qualify for the shoot-off.

A trophy for league High Gun and Second High Gun. In order to qualify for this trophy, a shooter must have participated in 80% of the rounds each half of the league season. When computing 80% of the league rounds any resulting fraction of a league round will be dropped (Example: A shooter's team shoots 13 rounds per half. 80% of 13 rounds = 10.4 rounds. The fraction is dropped and to be eligible, the shooter must have participated in 8 rounds of each half of the league season). All averages will be figured for the whole league season of shooting.
