FINAL’S SCHEDULE AND START LIST
General Information
With Domestic travel restrictions still heavily in place, and much uncertainty surrounding the ability to schedule Events in 2020, some creative thinking has come into play to enable the continuation of competitive activity for High Performance Program Pistol Athletes.
Compete Together is a Shooting Australia facilitated three event Competition series to be held during September and November, 2020.
As a postal competition, this series of events will enable the High Performance Program Athletes to remain connected and competitive from the comfort and convenience of your local Pistol Range in preparation for the Olympic Games, 2021 Domestic Competition circuit and International Events.
Who can Enter
Entries from both Individual Athletes and Teams (Air Pistol Mixed Team) is encouraged.
Compete Together will have a strong emphasis on inclusivity, encouraging participation from Able Bodied and Para Athletes as well as Men, Women and Junior Competitors.
Event Administration
Compete Together will be coordinated by the Shooting Australia National Pistol Coach in co-operation with the Shooting Australia Events Team and all available Volunteers from the Clubs the High Performance Program Athletes attend.
The High Performance Program athletes may invite any Athletes from their Club or neighbouring Clubs to participate as an Individual or to form a Mixed Team. The Compete Together Administrators will advise Athletes on the Volunteers available to assist in conducting the three Competitions as well as the Finals. Any disputes will be resolved in consultation with the Individual Athletes or Teams.
Regular emails will be distributed to provide Athletes with up to date Competition information and results.

- It is recommended that the Air Pistol Mixed Teams comprise two Competitors from the same Club to enable the 30 shot match to be shot at the same time.
- A running results table will be available on the platform that will be set up for Compete Together and this will be updated at the conclusion of each Round.
- At the conclusion of Round 3, the top 8 ranked Competitors for each Event will be contacted to confirm their place in the Finals. Ranks and the placing in the Rank Table, will be defined by the Competitors’ best result from the three Rounds and within any of the 6 possible qualification scores.
- At the conclusion of Round 3, the top 4 ranked Air Pistol Mixed Teams will be selected to shoot Bronze and Gold Medal Matches. Ranks and the placing in the Rank Table, will be defined by the Mixed Teams’ best results from the three Rounds and within any of the 6 possible qualification scores.
