Oxfordshire Rifle Association

The Summer Small-bore Season will start in early May. Each match period is two weeks. The first round must be completed by 16th May 2011, and then after that it's one round to be completed in each of the following match periods (except for those teams shooting ten rounds, where round 10 must also be shot in the final match period).

Round No.	One	Two	Three	Four	Five
Last Shooting Day	16th May	30th May	13th June	27th June	11th July

Round No.	Six	Seven	Eight	Nine	Ten
Last Shooting Day	25th July	8th August	22nd August	5th September

Round No.	One	Two	Three	Four	Five	Six
Last Shooting Day	30th May	27th June	25th July	22nd August	5th September

Cards must be despatched to the divisional umpire as soon as possible after the completion of the shoot, but in any case, must reach the umpire by the second Saturday morning following the last day of shooting.

Cards must be shot in round order but may be fired as far in advance as you wish. Cards for the 100y pairs competition may be shot individually or concurrently with the Dewar competition. If cards are shot concurrently, please ensure that the final shooting dates for each competition are adhered to. i.e. if round 1 of the 100yds league is shot concurrently with round 1 of the Dewar, then round 2 of the 100yd league may be shot concurrently with rounds 2, 3 or 4 of the Dewar, but not with round 5.

In view of the increasing difficulties with the postal system it is advisable to keep well in advance with all shooting and send more than one sets of targets at a time. This will also save a little on postage costs. Clubs are advised to get a Certificate of Posting from the post office when sending cards to scorers. On request, these are supplied free of charge by the Post Office whenever packages are handed over at the Post Office counter.

Every round counts, even any BYE rounds. Where a league contains a BYE round two points will be awarded providing a complete set of cards are shot and returned for the aggregate. This is because all cards shot count towards:-

Any ties are decided on the Aggregate of ALL 9/10 rounds. Final league positions could also depend on the aggregate of all 9/10 rounds (certainly in the top divisions).

If you have a problem with any of your teams or league cards, please contact the relevant divisional umpire immediately (by phone or e-mail) - most problems can be sorted out very quickly. Those that can't will be referred to the League Secretary for a final decision.
