True Team® scoring

True Team® scoring goals…

•  Maintain League’s mission and beliefs •  Less emphasis on high gun •  Recognize best overall team rather than top finishers •  Scaleable to work with all team and conference sizes •  Encourage teams to introduce beginners •  Allow 100% of a team’s athletes the opportunity to

contribute to their team’s scoring performance •  Make it exciting for the athletes

True Team® scoring overview… •  Athletes compete for points against

all athletes in their conference •  The total available amount of points that can be

earned is determined by a pre-determined number (prior to start of the season) of athletes for each team

•  Each team in their conference will be required to use the same number of athlete scores to calculate the team score to maintain equal opportunity

•  The top score(s) in the conference receives the maximum amount of points

•  The lowest score(s) receives minimum 1 point

True Team® scoring assignments… •  Number of athlete scores used for each team is

about 70-80% of the smallest team in the conference •  Larger conferences will have more athletes and

more points than smaller conferences •  Number of athlete scores that are used for each

conference will be announced before season starts

True Team® scoring example… •  Class: 1A •  Conference: 1 •  Number of teams in conference: 5 •  Team size: 7-10 members •  Number of member’s scores used for team score: 5

(70-80% of smallest team) •  Highest possible points: 25 (teams x scores used) •  Lowest points: 1 •  Total points available: 325 (1-25 points for each level) •  Team name: 2

True Team® scoring Athlete earning points… •  All athletes shoot

2 rounds of 25 •  Compared against all

other athletes in conference

•  Non-qualifiers (lowest scores) receive Do Not Qualify (DNQ)

•  Ties split points •  Decreasing subsequent

scoring

True Team® scoring Team earning points… •  Team athlete scores are

totaled for the event
