ACTA Rule Amendments

Rule Changes effective 1 January 2008:

1).  Rule 2.01(a) amended by deleting the words "Mackintosh events" from the note.

2).  Rule 2.01(h) amended by deleting the words "one (1)" from the third sentence.

3).  Change the current grading system by the implementation of a running percentage, calculated after each 200 targets.
Add to end of Rules 2.01(h).

Process of percentage calculation

(i) Once 200 or more targets have been shot at and recorded, the percentage shall be calculated.  This shall be known as the 200 target percentage.
(example 215 / 225 = 95.6%)
(ii) This 200 target percentage figure shall be recorded in the percentage column above the ruled off line.
(iii) This 200 target percentage shall be added to the previously recorded grading percentage and halved. This shall determine and be known as the grading percentage. This is the percentage that shall be used for determining the shooters grade. (example: previous grading percentage 97.2 : 200 target percentage 96.5 : (97.2 + 96.5) divided by 2 = new grading percentage 96.9).
(iv) This grading percentage shall be recorded in the percentage column below the ruled off line.

4).  ACTA will adopt the NSSA rules (Procedures and Field/Trap Settings) in their entirety to conform to other skeet shooting nations.  This requires the deletion of the last two sentences of Rule 1.25(g) starting "However" and ending with "house".

5).  Recommendation to implement from no to change the wording in first sentence of Rule 1.02(j) to read: All competitors shall change lanes as per event conditions (eg Single or multiple targets per lane)

6). That Rule 4.11 is amended immediately to read:  Automatic traps are strongly recommended for all disciplines.
