Home International Team Selection Process
Below is the process used to decide selection for the England ABT Team for Home International Team matches only (under the jurisdiction of the ICTSC).
- There are 4 selection shoots that run between April and July this year. Where these shoots are held is determined by a rota. We also include the English Open ABT as one of the selection shoots.
- Scores are submitted after the last shoot but the best 3 from 4 scores may only be required to count.
- Points from high gun of each event are calculated.
- Shooters with the lowest points go through to represent England.
- In the event of a tie for a place in the England Team, the highest score from the English Open will be used to decide the place. If the tie still exists a count back from a Selection Shoot attended by all parties concerned will be used to decide the place.
The deadline for submitting your scores is Midnight 4th July 2025.
