For registered shooters (NSSA), your initial class is your highest class obtained within the shoot year, regardless of gauge.
For non-registered shooters, your initial class is determined by the table below (see below on how to calculate):
Class |
Average |
AA |
.9750 and over |
A |
.9600 to .9749 |
B |
.9350 to .9599 |
C |
.9000 to .9349 |
D |
.8550 to .8999 |
E |
.8549 and below |
After an initial class has been established, your last three (3) shoots will be your running average. All shooters must move up in class once your
running average puts you in a higher class. For registered shooters, use either your NSSA running average (last 5 shoots) or Sansei Skeet running
average, whichever is higher. Shooters cannot go down in class within the shoot year (February to December).
For the August Sansei Championships, your class is the highest class attained during the shoot year. All previous (2 years) Sansei Championship class
winners (1st place only) and HOA winners (including Runner-Ups) will automatically move up in class and cannot go down for two years.
