In a mandatory purse event, the shooter MUST pay an additional fee over and above the cost of targets and shoot administration. The extra money is paid out in prizes and may be divided any number of different ways. Sub-Junior, Junior, and Collegiate shooters are allowed to opt out of the mandatory purse, making them ineligible to win the cash purse if they were eligible to do so! Please read the rule book, section II-B-2 and II-B-3-b, to see the specifics for these aged shooters.
An example of how a mandatory program might look is as follows.
Pay Out Table
$ 2.00 to champion, $ 8.00 remains in class, Champion is not eligible for class money
3 or less in class ——– 100 % to winner
4 to 7 in class ————- 60/40
8 to 11 in class ———— 50/30/20
12 or more in class ——- 40/30/20/10
In this event, the champion will win $ 2.00 from each shooter participating.
The class prizes will be determined by the number of shooters in each class. All awards will be split according to the official finish. All ties are shot off or are determined by long runs. The champion is removed from his class and cannot participate in class money.
EXAMPLE
You are in A class. When signing up, you pay $65.00 to shoot in the 12-Gauge event. $45.00 goes towards targets and administration expenses, $ 2.00 towards the championship pool, and $ 8.00 goes into your A class pool. Let’s assume that a total of 35 shooters have entered this event.
We’ll assume, that including yourself, 10 shooters entered in A class, for this event. Your buddy, who is in the same class as you, breaks 100, and wins the event. You shot a 98, which was the second highest score of the day. Since the champion cannot win the class money, he is removed, and your 98 becomes the highest score in A class.
The money would be split as follows:
Champion $ 70.00 = $ 2.00 x 35 shooters
A class — Total purse $ 80.00 — Split 50/30/20
1st Place —- $40.00
2nd Place —- 24.00
3rd Place —– 16.00
All other classes in this event would be determined the same way.
