Match Awards and Prize Policy The 2011 EGW Area 8 Championship will have a money payout and or plaque awards for Division, Class and Category winners. Merchandise and discount offers, which were donated by our generous sponsors, will be distributed by random drawings and handed out at registration. The amount of each money award and the number of money awards per division/class/category will solely be contingent on the overall number of paying competitors and the number of paying competitors per division, class and or category. A competitor may receive all trophies which she or he merits: however, a competitor is entitled to only one (1) money award. For instance, if a competitor places first A class Limited-10 and HOA Limited-10 champion, she or he would receive the higher of the two money awards, but not both! The money not awarded in the aforementioned case will then be returned to the money pool for redistribution to other winners in that division. The total amount of money awards for any division will be based upon the number of competitors in that division. It is likely that a division/class/category winner in one division may receive more than the same division/class/category winner in another division. For example, if the match has 30% Limited competitors, the amount awarded would be split 30% among Limited Division, and the remaining 70% will be split accordingly (based on # of competitors) among the rest of the Divisions. All awards of money/plaques will be made in the 6 Divisions (Limited, L10, Open, Production, Revolver & Single Stack) as listed below with the following set forth criteria: By Division: *HOA- 5 to 24 competitors in the division 2 nd OA- 25 to 49 competitors in the division 3 rd OA- 50 to 74 competitors in the division 4 th OA- more than 75 competitors in the division First in Class: M through D (Each class with a minimum of 5 shooters) Second in Class: M through D (Each class with a minimum of 10 competitors) Third in Class: M through D (Each class with a minimum of 15 competitors) High Lady * High Super Senior * High Senior * High Junior * High Military * High Law Enforcement *
