Tournament Director / ASA Liaison – James Hornbuckle – try to get out inform on rules changes, had several combined classes, class name changes, etc. same yardages. Name changes on kids classes to mimic S3DA to cut down on confusion.
SOY confusion – we will try to write out something to help with the confusion between BHA SOY, NZ SOY, CZ SOY, SZ SOY, AL ASA SOY and ASA SOY. Need help explaining this to shooters.
ASA same as last year, 17+ qualifiers, AL SOY top 3 scores from 3 different qualifier locations count for SOY. Must pay for Qualifier for it to count. You can shoot as many Qualifiers as you want to pay for but only the top 3 scores from 3 different locations count.
Qualifier pricing is $25 = $15 Club + $5 payout + $5 ASA
Scores must be sent in no later than Wednesday after the shoot and must be legible.
Also, please cash any checks promptly.
Social Media – Charmen McAlpine – need information on shoots, I have dates but not times, qualifiers, etc. If you want me to share it then you have to send it to me.
