Team Events

*1. Teams will consist of three shooters.  Each member of the team must be in a different class.

*2. Teams will be allowed to shoot together and discuss yardage, however range finders are still illegal.

*3. If team members are shooting separately, team entry fees ($30 per team) are to be paid when first team member shoots.

*4. Individuals may be members of more than one team.  However no two team members may be on more than one team together.

*5. Each team will be competing at each T.H.E. event to accumulate points for placement in the top three positions at that event.

1st place finish worth 3 points

2nd place finish worth 2 points

3rd place finish worth 1 point

*6. The team accumulating the most placement points during the regular shooting season (ending with the final State Championship) will be named team of the year.  The winning team members will each matching display awards, entry fee to the World Championship Team money event, and recognition of the team on the official T.H.E. website. Awards will be given at the T.H.E. awards banquet in July.

*7.  In case of a tie for Team of the Year points is to occur.  Ties will be broken as follows:

1st - highest number of 1st place finishes.

2nd - highest number of 2nd place finishes.

3rd - a sudden death shoot off at World in July.

*8. In an effort to phase in the new team competition and give time for awareness of the event to grow, qualification for a team to compete the World Championship Money Event will progressively grow over the next few years.  For 2008, a team must only compete in at least one T.H.E. event prior to the World event.  In 2009, teams will have to compete in at least three events prior to World.  In 2010 and beyond, teams will have to compete in 5 events each year to qualify.

*9. All team members’ equipment and skill level must match the class requirements in which they are competing as a team member.

*10. All members of a team must compete in an individual T.H.E. class round prior to shooting his/her team round.

*11. Team members are not required to shoot the same class in both their individual and team rounds.

*12. Individuals competing on more than one team may change classes from one team to another.

*13. Each team must have a team name, which is to be written at the top of each team members score cards.

*14. Teams should try to have a non-team member keep score.  Score keepers may be a swapped team from another team, a range official, or any other non-team member attending the event. (If this score keeper has not shot his/her individual round then they should be allowed to shoot each shot before the team begans to discuss yardage.)

In the case that a team has tried to find a chaperon and can not find one available, then with the host range permission they may compete in the team round at this event.  (Teams please don't let this turn into a problem, if another team accusses your team of cheating then just invite them to shoot the next event with you.)  

*15. A progressive purse will be accumulated throughout the entire T.H.E. regular season as a portion of the prize for the team money event at the T.H.E. World Championship.  For each round shot during regular season, $2 from each team round will go into the progressive purse.  All teams wishing to compete for the progressive purse will pay a $60 team entry at the World event.  50% of the World Team entry fees will also be added to the purse.

*16. Payout of the purse will be the same as for any other T.H.E. money event.
