IBS 1000 YARD SHOOTER
OF THE YEAR PROGRAM – 2012 (changes from 2011 outlined in red )
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. Points accumulated by a shooter at all matches shot by the shooter, plus the National Championships, count towards SOY.
3) The total number of shooters in a class will be divided as evenly as possible into relays. If a relay has more than 12 shooters, the relay may be split as two separate relays or two combined relays. In the case of a combined relay, the two best groups and the two best scores will advance to the shoot-offs and split the points from the total number of shooters. 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, with .6 points being the maximum allowable points given for a relay win.
7) Class shoot-off winner will receive .03 points for every IBS competitor in the class.

(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).
