Is it time for our sport to switch to a more time and dollar efficient method of settling tie scores?
Are trap shooting weekends long enough without tacking on extra hours at the end of each day for shootoffs? Are clubs interested in eliminating the cost of shootoff targets?
We see a number of "wins" settled by "forfeit" or " flip"....does this mean that shooters have little desire to remain at the shoot location for hours after they have finished their events for the day ?
Why not settle ties based on the total targets in the program?
For example, ties in the 200 singles championship event would be settled by high scores on the whole 400 championship targets.( 200 singles+ 100 doubles + 100 caps )
Ties in any preliminary day events would be settled by high scores on the whole 300 preliminary day targets.(100 singles + 100 doubles + 100 caps )
