IBS 1000 YARD SHOOTER
OF THE YEAR PROGRAM – 2010 (unchanged from 2009)
1000 yard Shooter of the Year Program
1) IBS registered match must have 2 or more
competitors (shooters).
2) IBS 1000 yard Shooter of
the Year (SOY) honors will be based solely on the points accumulated at the
first 10 sanctioned IBS 1000 yard matches per IBS 1000 yard club per year.
There is no limit as to the number of clubs a shooter may accumulate SOY points
at, as long as they are the first 10 matches sanctioned by the IBS per club during
the calendar year. The total matches a shooter may use to accumulate Shooter of
the Year points will be the 18 matches at which they earned the most SOY points
from the above matches shot in plus the National Championships.
3) The total number of
shooters in a class will be divided as evenly as possible into relays.
A shooter is defined as a person who has paid the entry fee and filled out and
signed the registration form, a copy of which is to be sent to the IBS after
each Match. To be counted in the total shooters for relay and match points, the
shooter must be sitting at the bench they were assigned when the “commence fire
command” is given.
4) In the case where there
is only one relay the winner of that relay must shoot another target that would
be scored as their shoot off target.
5) It is the responsibility
of the individual 1000 yard clubs to submit a schedule of points awarded to
each shooter (relay and match) per match for SOY. The Long Range committee
which will designate one individual to be Keeper of the Points who will submit
a report of results to all Clubs periodically during the year so they can be
posted at the Clubs next match.
6) Class relay winners will
receive .05 points for every IBS shooter in the relay.
7) Class shoot-off winner
will receive .03 points for every IBS competitor in the class.

3rd – 5th place .01 point per IBS shooter registered
(b) Overall light and heavy gun classes

(d) Tie breakers for score aggregates at
the National Championship will be group, and not the X count.
(e) IBS records
Group
or score - 4 points
Aggregate
records – 4 points
(a) Six and ten match aggregate records will
be based solely on the first 10 IBS sanctioned matches of the year per club
(relay targets only). The six match aggregates will be determined by the best 6
group and score targets out of the first 10 IBS sanctioned matches of the year
per club (relay targets only). A shooter may have six and ten match aggregates
at each IBS 1000 yard club. Tie breakers for Score aggregates records will be
group and not the X count.
(b) SOY points for breaking an
aggregate record will only be awarded to the shooter who holds the record at
the end of the shooting season. SOY points for breaking a single target record
will be awarded sequentially each time the new record is set. If a single
target record is broken by two or more shooters on the same date then the
record would go to the smallest group and highest score shot on that date.
(c) Shooter of
the Year awards for the Top Female, Rookie and
Junior will also be based on the above point system. A
junior shooter is one that has not attained the age
of 18. A Rookie shooter is considered to be any new shooter who is in
their first two calendar years of Benchrest competition. (New shooter means new to Benchrest- any
participation in registered BR matches of any type in NBRSA, Williamsport or
IBS would constitute that the person had shot Benchrest).
