Qualifying for World Championships in France in 2023
« on: January 03, 2022, 11:53:11 AM »
Fellow Shooters,

At this point the WBSF has indicated the World Championships will be held in South Africa in 2023. Of course this is all subject to unforeseen circumstances and restrictions that the host country has no control over. There is no set date yet or location. We are all awaiting that information, but as per previous years the qualifying takes place a year in advance of the tournament.

Here is the qualifying process for the 2023 World Benchrest Team. There are a few things that each shooter needs to take care of to be eligible for the team:

1. Each shooter needs to declare their intention to enter the qualifying process by the end of February 2022. An email to rickpollock@shaw.ca registering their intention to qualify will be sufficient.
2. Each shooter needs to be a member of BRSC during the qualifying year and the competition year.
3. During the competition season in 2022, shooters will need to email rickpollock@shaw.ca with evidence of their placings at various events to be added to the qualifying points tally and roster of shooters. All sanctioned group shoots are eligible for points accumulation.
4. At the end of 2022 each shooter will be asked to confirm by email if they plan to attend the World Championships in South Africa and submit a $500 CDN deposit to the World Team to be used against the entry fee for the World Championship.

Note: the qualifying ranking will be in accordance to the previous years format with your rank based upon how many points you have accumulated in the qualifying year. Points are awarded based upon how many shooters you placed above in your (6) best Grand Aggregates (LV, HV, SP) during 2022. There will be a cap of available points in each Grand Aggregate based upon the total # of shooters entered in the 2022 Cactus Classic.

Team selection will be based on this final ranking of accumulated points, and receipt of entry fee deposit, with the final selection taking place no later than December 31st, 2022.

Shooters, the final results have been tabulated for the Canadians looking to qualify to go to the World Championships Sept 23-30, 2023 in France. See screenshot below for details and qualifying rank. Congratulations to everyone involved. It is not an easy task to go to a bunch of tournaments and try your best, and incur all that time away, and costs. I can see we have some very strong Canadian BR shooters involved, and they will certainly give the other countries a challenge over the course of the shoot for the highest levels of the podium.

Many thanks to those who put their name forward and make the effort, and congratulations to those at the top of the list. The amount of dedication required to make this happen is not lost, even on me a new member to this forum.

Some great shooting at the Nationals this week, I was following the progress on a couple other forums - pretty quiet around here most of the time!

Well done everyone, I could only hope to be at this level someday.
