Handicaps:

Handicap System for 2 card competition.

Last for official card scores

Add scores together excluding dot count
Divide by 4
If the result is not a whole number then make up to next whole number.
Add to each of the 2 competition card.
Add the results (i.e. score plus handicap) from both cards to get the competition score.

Count-back for tie break.

For count back purposes the stickers sent out should have the number 1 & number 2 on them and should be shot in that order as that is how the count back will be done but in reverse order i.e. highest last card in order of score then dots then tens, if needed count back goes back to first card. If scores cannot be separated then placed equal and share the prize.
e.g.

If 197.15 with shooter1 = 100.8 & 97.7 & shooter 2 = 100.7 & 97.8 then shooter 2 wins.

However if shooter 1 = 100.8 & 97.7 shooter 2 = 100.8 & 97.7 but shooter 2 has an 8 on the second card then shooter 1 wins

To be fair, because it is a handicap shoot, you would have to include the handicap in each cards total score.

Ok got the stickers done! make sure I have your address and you have posted the money to me to be in to enter.

Just A reminder for those taking part in this postal that you should place your sticker across the back of a diagram on your target so that a bullet will go through it.

While we neglected to state this requirement in the rules for this postal shoot, it is normal practice for TSNZ postals and assumed that shooters would be familiar with the practice so that was our bad not to make that statment.

The idea of placing the stickers in this way is that it gives the organisers confidence that participants haven't just shot a series of targets and picked out the best to send in, we don't expect that any participants would do such a thing, however by placing the sticker on you target so that it will get "shot" provides you the shooter to some extent, protection from any such accusation.

Most of all, enjoy you shooting, good luck and thanks for taking the time to enter.
