Series Champion Awards Presented by the C.S.T.A., the California Series tournament in 2018 will award Series Champion buckles to winners of four yardage groups (21-22.5, 23-24.5, 25-26.5, 27) and for seven special categories: 19-20.5, Lady, Elder, Senior Veteran, Veteran, Junior and Sub-Junior. California Series - QUALIFYING and ELIGIBILITY: Open to all members of the P.I.T.A. from any State or Province. Membership is the shooter s responsibility. No scores will be counted unless P.I.T.A. membership is current. Only California Series shoot scores will be counted. Note that not all California P.I.T.A. shoots are certified as California Series shoot events. Clubs hosting California Series events will advertise as such. Your Yardage and Special Category eligibility at your first Series Shoot event will remain the same for the entire 2017 series Tournament. Changes like aging and yardage advancements do not change your entry status. For Example: Should you begin the Series Tournament as a Junior or as a 21-22.5 yard shooter, you will compete in the same category for the whole tournament, even if during that time you become older than the Junior age range or get punched to a longer yardage. However, if your yardage changes you must then shoot from the longer/promoted yardage or from an applied/granted reduced yardage. Regardless of a change, all certified scores are still applied based upon your initial qualification status. To become eligible to win one of the four yardage groups (21-22.5, 23-24.5, 25-26.5, 27), a shooter must shoot at least 500 16-yard singles, 500 handicap and 500 doubles (250 pair, in 50 pair events). To become eligible to win any of the Special Category events (yardage 19-20.5, Lady, Elder, Senior Veteran, Veteran, Junior and Sub-Junior), a shooter must shoot at least 500 16-yard singles and 500 handicap. Note regarding years of age: A Veteran has attained their 65th birthday, a Senior Veteran has attained their 70th birthday and an Elder has attained their 75th birthday. A Sub-Junior is a person who has not attained their 15th birthday. A junior is a person who has not attained their 18th birthday. You may win only one category award. Example: If you score as High Junior and High 21-22.5 yardage, you will be awarded the 21-22.5 yard Award, only. 2018 Series Award Coon Creek Trap & Skeet Nov 3 & 4 2018 34
