ALL MATCHES  will be squadded.  Squadding may be posted on the practice day (free practice except $ .25 per Club target used) before the tournament.  The park opens after 7AM and the stat office opens about 8AM.  A competitor who fails to place his target and frame in position prior to 8:50 AM or who is not set up to fire the match at the end of the preparation time, will not fire that match.  Eye and ear protection is required.  If complete SR-1 card and fees are submitted before the closing date, you may request a firing point on your SR-1 card where you desire to shoot.  If you have not submitted a complete SR-1 card and proper fees, you will be assigned a firing point.  The earliest entry asking for a point gets that point.

CRPA AWARDS  of the CRPA California Bear trophy will be awarded to the State Champion.  High Junior in the grand aggregate will receive the title of Junior Metric State Champion.  CRPA Distinguished Program Legs will be awarded the top 10% of non-CRPA Distinguished competitors in the grand aggregate per CRPA regulations.
CLUB AWARDS  will be given in each match to the match winner and all classes of 5 or more (2nd place for 10 or more, 3rd for 15, etc.).  If there are not 5 in a class, those competitors will be moved upwards until there are at least 5 for a combined class, done in accordance to NRA rules. If there are not 5 in the master class, they will compete for winner awards only.  If there are 5 or more juniors, there will be a separate junior award in each match.  If there are 5 or more competitors who wish to fire in an any sight class, that class will get awards in each iron sight and the iron-any aggregate matches, and these competitors will fire in their own regular class in the any sight matches.  They will not be eligible for overall win in any iron sight match or aggregates that include iron sight matches.  This any sight class will not be combined with any other class in the iron sight matches.  If there are less than 5, they will be posted separately, but with no awards.  Shooting in this any sight class must be marked on the SR-1 card.  If there are 3 or more juniors, women or seniors who fire the whole match with iron and any sights, there will be a grand aggregate award for that category if 3 or more are in such a category.  A competitor may win only one award per match and the lesser value second award will be passed down the class or category.  There will be an awards ceremony after the last challenge period has ended.
