Like any other Olympic discipline, the scores in clay target shooting competitions are regulated by the corresponding international federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to the Olympic disciplines of clay target shooting (Skeet, Trap and Double Trap), the ISSF<\/a> (International Shooting Sport Federation) is responsible for setting the rules on scores and classification through the Technical Regulations for Clay Target Shooting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In today\u2019s article, we\u2019re going to go over all the theory behind scoring so that you can refer to this post whenever you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope it helps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start with, the ISSF will appoint a member of the classification jury as the Chief of Referees, who will be responsible for ensuring that the scoring procedures are followed and who will run the Classification Office, which will be responsible for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scoring is done officially on each range for each round of 25 targets in Trap and<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skeet or 15 doubles in Double Trap events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual scoring will be carried out on each court by two Assistant Referees. One of them will record the results on a permanent official scorecard and the other will record the results on a manual or electronic scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, the referees may enter the scores on a manual or electronic scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For ranges with manual scoreboards, three Assistant Referees must be appointed, each task with using their individual scoreboard to keep track of the scores called by the Referee. They will be positioned as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the conclusion of each round the results must be compared and the correct<\/p>\n\n\n\n scores entered upon the official scorecard before it is delivered to the Classification<\/p>\n\n\n\n Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On ranges with electronic scoreboards, the Referee will control the scoreboards and two Assistant Referees will be appointed and positioned as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If at any stage the visible scoreboard should display an incorrect score, the Referee must immediately stop the shooting and with minimum delay take whatever action is required to correct it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, for any reason, it is not possible to correct the display, the following action will be taken:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, at the end of the round, the individual results will be compared and announced aloud. If the athlete agrees, the athlete and the referee will sign the scorecard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In individual events, the results of each round must be recorded legibly on official scorecards and the total of the Qualification rounds, the Final and any Shoot-offs must be recorded, and the scores ranked in descending order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In team events, the cores of each team member must be recorded, and the number of all targets hit by the team members of each team in each of the Qualification Rounds must be totaled and the team\u2019s scores ranked in descending order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to tie-breaks, we have to start by talking about the \u201ccount back rule\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any ties to be broken by this method must be decided as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, some competitions have finals while others do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, for team ties, rankings must be decided by the combined score of the team members in the last round of targets, then by the next to the last round, etc. until the tie is broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the tie is not broken (i.e., all the combined scores of the team members are the same, in all rounds) then ties must be decided by counting backward, from the combined score of the team members of the last target of the last round (and if necessary, the next to the last target or the next to the last round etc.). The team with the lower combined score of the last target will be given the lower ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope that we\u2019ve cleared up any questions you might have had about classifications and scores at clay target shooting competitions in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSCORING AND CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE IN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
