RE: Formula for Trophy awards for classes
ifyou are not getting satisfaction out of your local clubs, and it is a sanctioned ibo event, you really need to let the folks at the ibo know. the host clubs are required to give awards, in all classes. it does not state that it has to be a trophy or money, it may be clubs choice.
i dont know what the ibo policy is on numbers of awards vs. quantity of shooters in a class, but i do know that in the open class at our state shoot, they awarded 5 trophies, and 4 in the mbr. it may be based on the quantity of shooters, but the clubs choice on how far to go down the list.
i agree that it would be nice to get recognized, but i dont feel that it is the ibo' s place to go above and beyond if a club will not pick up the slack.
again, if a club is hosting an ibo shoot, only $5 dollars of your entry fee goes to the ibo, the remainder of the money stays with the club. sounds to me like you may be getting short changed a little, but it may not be an issue with the ibo....
