PRE- SQUADDING RULES & INFORMATION

 

ALL PRE-SQUADDING SHOOTERS MAY SELECT THE SECTION OF THE TRAP LINE OF THEIR CHOICE

 

  1. Request forms received before or including June 1  will be given equal priority and drawn at random.  All request forms received after this date will be processed by received date.  No request forms will be accepted after August 1.

 

  1. The non-refundable service charge of $2.00 per position, per event, must be paid with your request.  Although every effort will be made to fill bank and time request, we make no guarantee that your request will be filled exactly as requested, and there are no refunds for any reasons. 

 

  1. The use of paper entry cards has been eliminated. Please be sure to have your ATA plastic card when you are at the entry windows.  You will not be able to enter any events without your plastic card.    

 

  1. If you draw squad positions that will not be used for an event, please see squadding personnel or use the self-service terminals to release your position.  Releasing your position allows us to fill holes in open squads, making this tournament more enjoyable for all shooters. A shooter may not draw more than one (1) position per event.

 

  1. You will directly input your entries, including options, at the cashier windows using a touch screen system. Upon paying your entry fees, you will be supplied with a receipt showing your squad, and position along with your class/yardage, options and applicable categories for each event entered. Once you leave the cashier window, your entry cannot be changed for options or squadding.

 

  1. In an effort to avoid unused positions, it is imperative that you either cashier or release all positions that you have pre-squadded for prior to the event.  Anyone that does not cashier or release positions that have been pre-squadded in their name will risk having any or all subsequent pre-squadded positions in their name released by management.  You may call the squadding office at 618-295-2700 EXT 472 if you can not make it to the grounds in time and have your position released

 

  1. A shooter may only draw one position per event.  Any shooters wishing to squad together must fill out only one application indicating the shooters full name, ATA number, and handicap yardage on the line indicating which position that shooter wishes to shoot.  Applications for full or partial squads that do not have each shooter’s information completely and properly filled out will not be honored.  Multiple applications for any individual will be discarded and will not be refunded.  The first application encountered will be processed only.

 

  1. Squadding will be restricted to a maximum of 2 yards on a squad or one yard at 18 yards.

 

  1. The trap line will be divided into sections and each section has several shooting banks within the section.  All pre-squadding shooters may select the section of their choice and we will make every effort to fill your request.
     
  1. There is a request field / area called "Priority" that allows you to mark TIME or SECTION as your priority in case your selection is full.  This will allow the shooter to decide which is more important, time or section.
     
  2. We will be pre-squadding 18 banks that will be divided into 4 sections.  You will be able to request a specific section and they are:  Section 1:  Banks 8-11.  Section 2:  Banks 12-16. Section 3:  Banks 17-21.  Section 4:  Banks 22-25.  All bank locations are the same as in the 2008 Grand.
     
  3. Telephone requests will not be honored.
