It is with great pleasure that USA Shooting announces the 19th Annual USAS

National Championships and Smallbore Olympic Team Trials. The competition results will determine both the National Championships and Final Olympic Team Selections per the USAS Policies and Procedures. For more information please refer to the Olympic Team Selection Procedures available at



PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

This match will count towards Performance Standard Average (PSA) and Individual Performance Scores (PSI). Performance Standard Average / Individual Performance Scores, as established by USA Shooting, must be achieved before any athlete may travel with the US Shooting Team to selected competitions outside the United States.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Olympic Team Trials for Smallbore are open to only citizens of the United States until May 11, 2012. All competitors must be current members of USA Shooting in order to participate. The match will be open to foreign competitors after May 11, 2012, provided space is available. Foreign athletes must be a member of their home federation. All foreign athletes should submit a copy of the picture page of their passport with their entry form. Finals eligibility: The top 8 open shooters in each event will compete in a final. Only U.S. citizens will be eligible for the finals.

OLYMPIC TEAM SELECTION:

The Smallbore Olympic Team selection will consist of the aggregate of three match courses plus best two finals. Olympic Team berth will be allocated as applicable.

RULES:

Current USA Shooting Rules will govern this competition. It is the shooters responsibility to be familiar with these rules.

JURY:

USA Shooting will select a Jury Chairperson to serve at each Olympic selection match. The Chairperson should have a valid ISSF A or B judge's license. The Chairperson will coordinate with the Match Director to select an appropriate number of Jury members. An adequate number of Jury members should be selected so that at least three members will be available to adjudicate a protest, considering that one or more Jury members may be involved in the issue and therefore must be disqualified from Jury service for that issue. Selected Jury members should be familiar with USA Shooting Rules and be experienced as athletes, officials and/or competition staff.

The Chairperson verifies with match staff that the targets and computers are working according to USAS Rules or that the shotgun targets are set according to USAS rules. The Chairperson may address a question, resolve a dispute or make a ruling/decision solely or he/she may convene a Jury consisting of at least three persons to decide the issue. If a formal written protest is filed, the Chairperson must convene a Jury to decide the protest. The Chairperson must guide the Jury through the adjudication process using current USA Shooting Rules. The Jury may call witnesses and/or request written statements from those concerned with or knowledgeable of the protest situation.

Any decision by the Chairperson or Jury must be made as promptly as possible without compromising relevant information. The Jury Chairperson must document each decision and inform concerned parties and the competition staff. Any decision by the Jury is final and cannot be appealed.

USADA:

The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) may conduct testing for banned substances.

a. Participation in this match constitutes willingness to undergo testing if selected.

b. Procedures for testing will follow those established by the IOC, ISSF and USADA Doping Regulations.
