1 2017 National Smallbore Rifle Championships Bristol, Indiana July 9-17, 2017 A WORD FROM OUR COMPETITIVE SHOOTING DIVISION DIRECTOR Dear National Championship Competitor, On behalf of the National Rifle Association, our volunteers and our sponsors, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2017 NRA National Smallbore Championships. This year will be the second year in Bristol, Indiana, following the permanent move to this beautiful range. Competitors have found the conditions here to be excellent and have set 14 new National Records since our arrival. We have left the old traditions behind and have embarked on a mission to set new traditions for others to follow. New restaurants to eat at, new places to stay, new things to do in the off hours, the meal at the awards banquet and ceremony, periodic free lunches on the range, and a more comfortable setting on a gorgeous tree lined range where we can meet and talk with other competitors. There is one tradition that cannot ever be changed the tradition of gathering together to compete. In the end, it really doesn t matter where we go, where we stay, where we eat, or what we do in the off hours, as long as we gather together once a year to determine who among us is the best. That is the true tradition. Following the retirement of Howard Moody from the NRA, Victoria Tori Croft has been appointed as your new Match Director. Tori has served as the Deputy Match Director for the last couple of years and is well prepared to assume her new role. Please welcome her and work with her to make these championships bigger and better than ever. There have been some changes to last year s program so I hope that you will read this program carefully so that you are up to date on any new information. We hope that you will continue to enjoy your stay here in Indiana and practicing the one true tradition of competition. Good Shooting. Dennis L. Willing 1

11 General Information Websites and To All Competitors Effective January 2, 2017, W-9 information will be electronically collected and automatically verified during the registration process through a secure verification website. Registration cannot be finalized without filling out the requested information and verification being completed. Official Time The Range Director will keep the Official Time. In-Processing All competitors must report to the Statistical Office (i.e., bench area at the NRA store) to pick up their entry packets that include liability waivers. With forms completed, finish the Check-In process at the Statistical Office window and receive a competitor number, ID card, etc. Walk-up entries will be accepted if registering prior to the start of a championship and space is available. Those competitors must register at the Statistical Office immediately upon arrival. All late entries must submit a W-9 to be validated. Without a valid W-9, shooters may still compete, but not receive any awards. Foreign Competitors Foreign competitors will be exempt from the electronic W-9 collection process. They will be required to complete a form W-8 upon arrival, and will be taxed 30% on awards regardless of amount won. Trophies and plaques are exempt from this tax. Office Procedures Competitors are asked to check the final results of the Grand Aggregates (Matches 101, 102, 201, and 202) posted on the Official Bulletin Board to determine if they achieved an award. Competitors should pick up their awards as they become available; however, first place medals and plaques will be presented at an awards ceremony. other than monetary, will not be mailed. All awards must be picked up from either the Banquet or the Office before departing the event. All awards not claimed by close of business the day after the awards ceremony will become property of the NRA. checks will be mailed from NRA Headquarters, Fairfax, VA. Monetary The National Rifle Association continually strives to achieve full compliance with all tax laws and regulations. In this regard, the Financial Services Division conducts an ongoing review of all NRA-sponsored competitions, including but not limited to the National Matches, the NRA Action Pistol Championship (Bianchi Cup), the Smallbore Rifle Metric Championship, the Smallbore Rifle Conventional Championship, and Silhouette Championships, where a tax event might occur. A tax event occurs when a competitor wins a total amount of at least $600 in cash and/or merchandise prizes (excluding plaques and trophies) in all the above events combined. Because the NRA is unable to determine who might win a total of $600 or more, every competitor is required to complete a form W-9. An IRS Form 1099-Misc is issued to all competitors whose total winnings are at least $600 in a calendar year. The IRS requirement above applies to competitors of any age. Please feel free to contact NRA Finance at if you have any questions in regard to this matter. in General Persons unable to pick up their award(s) (individual or team member) must complete a Permission Form for and name the person to whom the award will be released and be responsible if not picked up. Team awards will be given to individual competitors and not the Team Captain or Coach. General Information 11

12 Other awards will be available at the end of the banquet. Award winners will receive a printout of their awards that must be signed. If their W-9 has been validated, the signed printout will be forwarded to the Finance Department at NRA Headquarters and if there is a monetary award, a check will be mailed to the competitor. The competitor still has the option of sending in his/her awards' printout in an NRA-addressed envelope. Award Banquets The Prone awards banquet will be on July 13 at 6:00 p.m. The Position awards banquet will be on July 17 at 6:00 p.m. All competitors will receive a banquet ticket at no additional charge. A guest may attend with the purchase of an addition ticket. First, Second, and Third Place Champions will stand and be recognized at the ceremony with the First Place winners receiving their awards on stage. NEW FOR 2017! All donated awards will be distributed at the award ceremonies. A highlight of the World Shooting Championships, after the formal awards ceremony, an award winner will be announced and asked to proceed to the prize tables to select an additional award. An NRA event person will scan the competitor's ID badge and the prize chosen. During that time, all other place winners may pick up their medals and other awards at separate awards tables. Firearms Policy Effective immediately, it is the policy of the National Matches not to award firearms to junior competitors that are not of legal age to receive the firearm directly from the FFL holder. Firearms will also no longer be awarded to junior teams where the Team Captain is not of legal age to accept the firearm directly from the FFL holder. Authorized Assistance Adaptive competitors may have assistance in moving equipment to and from the firing line. In the case of a team, the captain or coach or NRA staff may assist.
