\opening{A Chara,}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Entries are invited for the {\bf Trinity Top Ten 2001} Postal
competition. This year is the 40$^{th}$ anniversary of the
founding of the modern DURC club and so for this year we are
asking for a large number of entrants to help celebrate the
anniversary. For this purpose, we have expanded the
competition this year to contain three leagues. As well as
the traditional 50m prone rifle league, this year will see
the inclusion of a 25yard prone rifle league and a 10m Air
Rifle league, as well as a seperate category in each league
for Junior shooters (who must have been aged 18 or under on Janurary
1$^{st}$ this year). A team event will not be held this year
due to the workload increase anticipated from having two new
leagues added to the competition.

Entry forms are attached to this letter. Completed entry
forms and shot cards should be sent to the following
address:

\definecolor{mygrey}{gray}{0.8}

	}
\end{center}

An appropriate address label is included for the return of the entry
forms : more will be sent out with the round nomination stickers. The
entry fee is IR\pounds5 per individual, and IR\pounds1 for
Juniors.

The completed entry form must reach the above address
by no later than \textbf{\large Friday June 22nd}.
For those competing from abroad, entry forms may be faxed to
\colorbox{mygrey}{+353-1-677 2204}. 

Nomination stickers
can be sent out early to facilitate the inclusion of cards
shot at calendar events: email \colorbox{mygrey}{\tt
Mark.Dennehy@cs.tcd.ie} or fax the above number.

Note that I can be contacted by email, fax or phone at any
point should a problem arise with the competition.

\colorbox{mygrey}{\bf \large Rules}

\textbf{\large Common Rules}
\begin{itemize}
\item A shooter may shoot for one club only in each league

\item A shooter may enter as many leagues as he or she
wishes

\item A junior shooters score will not be counted for the
seniors league.

\item A round is prenominated by placing the appropriate
sticker behind the bull of the first target.

\item Only one sticker per card.

\item The shooter should write his or her name clearly on
the front of the target together with their entry number and
the round number as obtained from the sticker.

\item If the card is shot concurrently with another
competition, the card
must still be prenominated in the usual way and the card
should be forwarded in the normal manner.

\item ISSF regulations will be used as the basis for all
technical resolutions. Ties however, will not be broken
except for the final overall placing. 

\item A shooter who fails to return cards for two rounds will
be disqualified from the competition. 
These rounds do not have to be consecutive.

\item The coordinator will accept no responsibility for
cards given to other D.U.R.C. members at shoots.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{\large 50m Prone Rifle League Rules}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is an open competition, shot outdoors at 50m.
Each round consists of 20 shots (one four-target card) fired
during a twenty-minute detail.
\end{itemize}


\textbf{\large 25yd Prone Rifle League Rules}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is an open competition, shot indoors at 25 yards.
Each round consists of 20 shots (two ten-target cards) fired
during two ten-minute details.
\end{itemize}


\textbf{\large 10m Air Rifle League Rules}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is an open competition, shot indoors at 10m. Each
round consists of 20 shots (four five-target cards) fired
during four five-minute details.
\end{itemize}

{\bf Note that not complying with the above rules will lead to a
penalty of one point (not gunscore) from that round.}

\colorbox{mygrey}{\bf \large Scoring}

Each round is scored (points ex200). The entrants are then
ranked in order on the basis of their score in that round.
Points are awarded as follows. The individual with the
highest gunscore will recieve the same number of points as
there are entrants, the next placed shooted will receive one
less and so on down. The cumulative sum of your points from
the ten rounds will determine your overall placing. This
method will be applied to all three leagues: the scores in
each league will be independent of the other two leagues.

\newpage
