New shooters are classified using the average score from their first two official matches (denoted by the classes Q1 and Q2).  Shooters are re-classified at the end of the season based on season average.   Promotion is mandatory.  Demotion is mandatory after 2 seasons of not meeting one's current classification.   Absent shooters returning after a leave of more than 2 seasons are treated as new shooters and must be classified.

Shooters compete within their classification.  Eight (8) points are awarded per match.  One (1) point is awarded to the club with the highest score from each of the 6 classifications.   If no shooters are competing in a class, then that point is not award.  Two (2) points are awarded to the club fielding the highest 5 shooters (including Q2 shooters, but not including Q1 shooters).
