Team Selection Process

Below is the process used to decide selection for the England OTR Team for Home International Team matches only (under the jurisdiction of the ICTSC).   

The 3 selection shoots in 2024 will run between April and July.   To be considered for a place on the Olympic Trap England Team to compete in the Home International at least two scores from the three designated selection shoots should be submitted.   The 2024 OTR Selection Dates are in conjunction with British Shooting SGS dates.

For all events when the scores are submitted, the scores (for each Selection Shoot) from High Gun  are calculated on Points from High Gun x 125  and those with the lowest points will go through to represent England.

All scores will be checked and verified.  In the event of a tie, lowest points from the final shoot will be used to decide the place.  If the tie still exists countback scores from the English Open will be used.

The deadline for submitting these scores is Midnight  9th July 2024.
