Eastex Tactical IDPA awards trophies every 6 months. The winter-spring session is tracked from January to June and the summer-fall session is tracked from July to December. Weekly performance is tracked based on IDPA Divisions and Classifications. However, since IDPA does not provide any method for “cumulative” scoring, trophies are awarded based on 3 levels - A, B & C. Shooters are grouped by thirds, with A being the top third shooters, B being the middle third and C being the lowest third.

Awarding Points:
Shooters will be divided into thirds based on final results each week. The top third will be group A, middle third will be group B, and the bottom third will be group C. If the number of shooters is not divisible by 3, the 1st “extra” shooter will be in Group A. If there are 2 extra, the 2nd would be in Group B. Trophy points will be awarded as follows:

The top shooter in A group will get 3 A points, 2nd will get 2 A points, all others in A get 1 point.

The top shooter in B group will get 3 B points, 2nd will get 2 B points, all others in B get 1 point.

The top shooter in C group will get 3 C points, 2nd will get 2 C points, all others in C get 1 point.

Points are tracked in each group and trophies would be awarded semi-annually for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for A, B and C groups. Weekly results will still be published based on IDPA class/division for each individual match as per IDPA guidelines, but trophy points will be accumulated by group regardless of class/division.

Comments & Restrictions:

• To be eligible to accumulate trophy points on a particular night, a shooter must be an Eastex Tactical IDPA member
• Shooters who receive a DNF (Did Not Finish) for a night will not receive any trophy points.
• Shooters may accumulate points in 1, 2 or even 3 groups over the course of the trophy period. However, each shooter is eligible for only one trophy per period. In the event a shooter is eligible for multiple trophies, it will be their option to choose which trophy they will receive.
• In the event of a tie, the shooter with the highest number of top finishes will receive the high placing. If both have the same number of attendance & competition points, both will get the same place trophy.

Here’s an example for 14 shooters:
1st Place Shooter - 3 A points
2nd Place Shooter - 2 A points
3rd Place Shooter - 1 A point
4th Place Shooter - 1 A point
5th Place Shooter - 1 A point

6th Place Shooter - 3 B points
7th Place Shooter - 2 B points
8th Place Shooter - 1 B point
9th Place Shooter - 1 B point
10th Place Shooter - 1 B point

11th Place Shooter - 3 C points
12th Place Shooter - 2 C points
13th Place Shooter - 1 C point
14th Place Shooter - 1 C point

In this example, if there were 15 shooters instead of 14, then the A, B & C groups would all have 5 people.
