LALLY, USA Shooting Tiro esportivo / Tir Competition Format and Rules Formato e regras da competição / Format et régles de la compétition Olympic competition format The Rio 2016 Olympic Games shooting competition is made up of 15 events – nine for men and six for women. Athletes contest three different disciplines, with five events for rifles, five for pistols and five for shotguns. Disciplines Events for men Events for women Total - 50m rifle three positions - 50m rifle three Rifle positions Five - 50m rifle prone - 10m air rifle - 10m air rifle - 50m pistol - 25m pistol Pistol - 25m rapid fire pistol Five - 10m air pistol - 10m air pistol - trap - Trap Shotgun - double trap Five - Skeet - skeet Each event consists of a qualification phase and finals. Some events (50m rifle prone men, 50m rifle three positions men/women and 50m pistol men) may require an elimination phase before qualification, depending on the number of entries and the availability of firing points. Rifle and pistol events Qualification Each event starts with a qualification phase, from which the top six/eight athletes progress to the finals. In qualification, athletes shoot a defined number of shots depending on the event. For 50m rifle prone men, and 10m air rifle men and women, elimination and/or qualification scoring is done with a tenth ring (decimal) scoring. Random draws, under the supervision of the jury, are used to allocate firing positions. Finals Scoring in the finals starts from zero – no scores are carried forward from the qualification phase. The finals for 10m air rifle men and women, 10m air pistol men and women, 50m pistol men and 50m rifle prone men consist of two stages: a competition stage followed by an elimination stage. Eliminations of the lowest scoring finalists begin after the eighth shot and continue after every two shots until the gold and silver medals are decided. Scoring is done with tenth- ring (decimal) scoring. Cumulative total scores in the finals determine the rankings, with ties broken by shoot-offs. The 25m rapid fire pistol men final consists of eight 5-shot 4-second series with hit or miss scoring (each hit counts one point, each miss counts zero points). The elimination of the lowest scoring finalists begins after the fourth series and continues until the eighth series when the gold and silver medals are decided. The size of the hit zone is within the 9.7 zone on the 25m rapid fire pistol target. The rankings in the final are determined by cumulative total scores (total number of hits), with ties broken according to shoot-off scores. The 25m pistol women final consists of two stages, a semifinal and two medal matches. All scoring is hit or miss. The semifinal consists of five 5-shot rapid-fire series, and all eight finalists shoot at this stage. In the medal matches the first and second place athletes from the semifinal compete for the gold and silver medals while the third and fourth place athletes Shooting Tiro esportivo / Tir compete for the bronze medal. Each medal match is fired on a series-by-series basis where the athlete with the highest hit total in each receives two points, and one point is awarded to both athletes if the scores are tied. The first athlete to score seven points wins. Shotgun events There are five shotgun events – trap (men and women), double trap (men only) and skeet (men and women). Shotguns differ from rifles and pistols in that they are smooth bored rather than "rifled," and they fire a number of pellets rather than a single projectile. The maximum effective range for clay target shooting is considered to be about 50m. The athletes stand on designated stations to shoot at clay targets that are released on or after the athlete’s command. A "hit" is declared when the target is shot at and at least one visible piece is seen by the referee to fall from it. During the finals, if powder emerges from the target after a shot it will be declared as a "hit". Number of targets Event Individual men Individual women Trap (in rounds of 25 125 + finals 75 + finals targets) Double trap (in rounds of 150 + finals N/A 30 targets each) Skeet (in rounds of 25 125 + finals 75 + finals targets) The jury, in conjunction with the organising committee, and with the approval of the technical delegate(s), may adjust the squadding draw in accordance with the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) squadding requirements. The shooting order of the squads, and the shooting order within the squads, must also be changed from day-to-day by the organising committee under the supervision of the jury. The full programme must be fired in each Olympic event as a qualification for the finals. The six highest-ranking athletes in the qualification round advance to the finals. Finals consist of two stages: a semifinal and medal matches. Starting positions in the semifinals are assigned according to a random draw that must be done automatically by the computer when the finals start list is released. New bib numbers (1-6) will be issued. In all semifinals, medal matches and shoot-offs, athletes will shoot in bib number order (lowest number shoots first). Athletes start at zero for each finals stage – scores from the qualification or semifinal are not carried forward. After the semifinal, the first and second place athletes advance to the gold medal match and the third and fourth place athletes go to the bronze medal match. The fifth and sixth place athletes are eliminated. Differences between the ISSF world championships and the Olympic Games There are 15 shooting events on the programme of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, while the ISSF world championships has 55. The additional events are 300m rifle events, 50m running target, 10m running target as well as additional events with 50m rifle, 25m pistol, and additional shotgun events. In most events there are four categories: men, women, men junior and women junior. All events at the ISSF world championships are held in individual and team competitions (three team members). Changes since the London 2012 Olympic Games The ISSF has introduced the use of decimal ring scoring for 50m rifle prone men and 10m air rifle men and women during elimination and/or qualification. Shooting Tiro esportivo / Tir Two new finals formats have also been introduced: 1. For 10m and 50m rifle and pistol events, finals consist of two stages: a competition stage followed by an elimination stage. Eliminations of the lowest scoring finalists begin after the eighth shot and continue after every two shots until the gold and silver medals are decided. 2. For 25m pistol women and shotgun events, finals consists of two stages: a semifinal and two medal matches. After the semifinal the first and second place athletes advance to the gold medal match while the third and fourth place athletes in the semifinal advance to the bronze medal match. The ISSF rules regarding records have been changed. According to the new ISSF rules, there are no finals world records and finals Olympic records for all shotgun events and the 25m pistol women event. The ISSF rules regarding tied athletes have been changed. There is no longer a qualification shoot-off (QS-off) for rifle and pistol events, the normal count-back rules apply.
