WTA’s TWILIGHT LEAGUE RULES

  1. WTA Officers reserve the right to refuse entry from or eject anyone from the league and/or grounds, if, in the opinion of WTA Officers, he or she is posing a safety threat, is acting in an unsportsmanlike manner, using profane or rude language, or is interfering with the shoot in any way.
  1. Shooters are classified by Cashier and WTA Officers after the 6th shoot. Generally, the following classifications will be used, based on a shooter’s average score at the end of the 6th shoot. However, “known ability” will also be considered. Any shooter with 500 ATA registered singles targets in the current or previous year are classified based on the higher average on those targets or the league scores. Any overall league class winner or tie from last year will shoot one class higher this year. It is a shooter’s responsibility to make sure their classification is correct.

A – 48 and over B – 46 and under 48 C – 44 and under 46 D – under 44

  1. Shooting begins at 4:30 pm with the last sign- up at 7:00 pm.
  1. Trophies are determined by WTA Officials. Only one per shooter. A shooter that loses or forfeits a shoot-off for a trophy may drop back to a lower trophy.
  1. The top seven (of ten) scores shot by each shooter are used when determining winners. SEVEN scores must be posted in order for a shooter to qualify for trophies.
  1. The top five scores shot weekly by each team will decide team standings.

10. A shooter may “make up” a missed shoot the following week only. Make up scores will count toward individual trophies only (not team trophies).

11. Should WTA Officials cancel a shoot due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, a make-up shoot for that night will be scheduled or not at the WTA’s discretion. All scores shot prior to the official notification to shooters of cancellation, will be binding and will not be made up.
