2007 Tournament Dates

For a printable version of the flyers for each shoot, please follow the links in the table below:

All tournaments with a guaranteed money pot are shotgun start, all shooters must be present and ready to shoot their 1st target at 8:30am – no exceptions will be made. Backwoods Club Tournaments are informal shoots with no prizes being awarded. The USBA Buckle Shoot, ASA State Qualifier, ASA State Championship and Backwoods ASA Club tournaments, and the Blue Ridge Backwoods Classic are money shoots with a guaranteed pot. Actual prizes awarded may exceed the guaranteed amounts depending on overall participation. Guaranteed Pots will be divided proportionally (based on number of shooters in each class) between all adult classes with greater than five participants.

Example Tournament Prize Distribution

For this example, we will make the following assumptions:

50 Total Participants

$100 Guaranteed Pot

Shooters present in four classes:

Open            15
Bowhunter    25
Novice            5
Womens Open    3
Traditional    2

The Pot is then divided amongst the top finishers in each class.  This is done using a spreadsheet that is made available by the ASA - this is used to award cash prizes in every ASA competition.  A portion of this spreadsheet is made available here for reference:

All of this information is placed into a spreadsheet similar to the following (this has been simplified for presentation on the web):

As you can see - the payouts are best for the biggest classes.  The bigger classes also pay much "deeper" into the field than the smaller classes.
