a. Competitors shall be in squads with a maximum of 6; where there are withdrawals from a squad or squads after the competition has begun, squads will be closed up before each run over any trap. Number 1 competitor in each squad shall always start the shooting. The club, at its discretion, may require competitors to change starting lanes on each trap as follows: No 1 competitor shall commence shooting from Lane 1 on Trap 1. Lane 2 on Trap 2, Lane 3 and so forth over all the traps. This rule shall also apply to Double Rise.
b. Management have the right to divide the number of targets by the number of traps available:
Example 1 - 15 targets, 2 traps, 1 visit. No 1 competitor shoots 8 targets on Trap 1 finishing on Lane 3. He now starts on Lane 4 on Trap 2 and shoots 7 targets, finishing on Lane 5.
Example 2 - 30 targets, 5 traps, 6 targets per trap, 1 visit. Clubs must preserve equality by lane changing between traps.
c. In any squad where three shooters commence in the squad, shooters will initially occupy Lanes 1, 3 and 5. In any squad where only 2 shooters commence, shooters will initially occupy Lanes 2 and 4. This procedure shall also apply to shoot-offs.
d.i.Squads will be filled in order of nomination on the day of competition.
ii.Shooters may enter full squads but must accept the next vacant squad number.
iii. Club management shall have the right to squad shooters to assist in the organisation of the competition.
