Clubs should note that the closing date for the 2025-26 Championships and Individual League is Monday 24th November. If entries have not already been sent in, then skates should be looked out and put on asap. The entry form file is available in the ‘Forms & Minutes’ link in the sidebar (requires password) if required.
As from this season the arrangements for the Championships have been formalised into a new Rules document. These are the only competitions we run that did not have a formal set of regulations, and previously they were run on tradition and what people remembered what used to happen, Please see here for the new Rules document (also available on the Championships page).
One significant change introduced this season is that the postal stage for all competitions now consists of three cards instead of two. Also, if a tie for first place on raw gunscore for any of the competitions that are decided on the postal stage occurs, then it will be decided by a shoot-off. That condition applies to all the subsidiary Championships and the top qualifier for the Open Championship (i.e. all those with a trophy at stake on this stage). The use of graduated gauges has been discontinued (which means that the use of electronic targets is now allowed).
