2. Must be MRPA member in good standing at the time of committing to want to participate on a team (minimum of 30 days prior to match date).

3.  Must be a Michigan Resident.  Ohio residents who regularly participate in Michigan matches who wish to participate should contact me (jaroot@gmail.com) as a waiver must be obtained from CMP if you wish to participate on the "in competition" or Gold team.

4. Competitors should make every attempt to participate in both the Michigan ATC State Championship (BWSA - May 14) and the Michigan Reduce Course State Championship (Capital City - June 5).

Team Management

1.  Competitors who have previously fired on state association teams have first right of refusal to fire on teams before new competitors will be considered.

2.  Every attempt will be made to fill the "New Shooter" position on the Gold team from the Silver team firing members. 

3.  Every attempt will be made to not burn more than one New Shooter for Gold team.

4.  Competitor performance will be tracked throughout the year in order to best assess who is burnt as New Shooter and which Old Shooters are best suited for Gold NTT Team.
