Green Bird $5.00 Entry Fee
The prize is calculated by randomly selecting 1 winner for every 6 options selected (i.e. 20 options selected creates a $100 purse; 20/6 = 3 winners; each selection pays $33.33; each entry is one chance to win, each green bird hit is a chance to win; 20 options selected plus 20 hits means that there are 40 entries that could be selected as a winner).
​
Random selection of winners is done by the scoring software using a database random row selection function.
The purse payout varies by the number of entries.
Per ATA rules you do not have to shoot at the green targets.
​

Payouts are divided by the number of winning entries.
Scores are posted on monitors throughout the club if/when time permits.
All payouts are done by check. Checks are printed and mailed as soon as it is convenient for the event manager; generally within 7-10 days.
Payout checks are only kept for 6 months. If there is no valid contact information listed with a shooter number the check cannot be mailed and the prize will be forfeited if not picked up at the club during normal business hours within 6 months of the event.
Trap practice is available if scorers are available; 50 bird shooters take precedence.
