HOW IT WORKS
If you’ve ever watched or played tennis or squash you will have an idea of how Rally Clays works.
There are seven targets in front of two shooting positions.
On a coin toss one shooter chooses a side and the other shooter chooses to either shoot first or second.
The shooter with the honour of shooting first calls pull and target 1 is thrown. You have full use of the gun (no semi-autos) at this target.
If you break it, target 2 is immediately thrown for the other shooter also having full use.
If they break it, target 3 is immediately thrown for you and back and forth and so on until you get to target 7.
Target 7 is thrown twice (so you are not always shooting the same birds in the point) and then you go back and forth back down the targets in sequence (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1- which is also thrown twice, like 7, and back up through the targets again).
As soon as someone misses a clay, they lose the point.
If you run out of cartridges, you lose the point.
First to 5 points wins the match.
How ‘Rally Clays’ works
RANKINGS
HOW THEY ARE CALCULATED
The winner of the longest match(es) in terms of targets broken (not time!) wins the pool or group.
WINNING WELL
BUT
We also take into account the point difference
We want to reward those who win matches convincingly.
POINTS DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED
If you win your match 3 - 0 you will have 30 points added to your tally. (3 - 2 will have 10 points added).
So - if you win a 42 target match 3 points to 1, your total score will be:
42 + 20 (point difference of 2) = 62
