Yardage & Class Advances

If you win or tie for a class in any Singles or Doubles event, or earn yardage in any Handicap event, it's your responsibility to report to the Classification / Handicap counter. New classifications and yardage take effect when posted on the board.

Events #4, 6, 7, 8: class winners and tiers advance one class. In all events with class advances, any shooter whose score equals or exceeds the class champion advances — starting with the next like event.
