FAQ: #9 - Year-End Awards
During an SBTL season, all participants compete for the Year-End Awards. The year-end class and yardage group is determined by the first class and yardage group that the participant shoots in each season.
For Singles, Handicap and Doubles Events, each shooter's top five (6) regular season scores are totaled and ranked against his/her fellow shooters.
You have to shoot six (6) of the nine (9) shoots to be eligible for the Year-End Buckles. Your top six (6) shoots are what counts. And again, the scores at “The Grand” DO count for all year-end buckles, not just handicap.
Participants are only permitted to win a single Year-End Award. Trophies awarded in the following manner:
- High Over All
- Handcap Champion by Yardage Group
- Doubles Champion by Class
- Singles Champion by Class
- 410 sub gauge
Engraved plaques are provided for High and Runner-up Teams. There are no Category trophies provided at the Year-End.
Lastly, at the Year-End Awards ceremony, the SBTL presents the coveted "1000 Bird Pins". Only participants that break 1000+ birds in during the first eight (8) shoots will be awarded this pin.
Year-End Trophies will be earned according to the SBTL rules and distributed as follows:
| High Over All | |
