Championship no shows.
(taken from the minutes of the 28th May 2008.)

"PJU advised the meeting that there were seven booked no shows with two shooters turning up then deciding not to shoot at the start of the UK Open.
 
PJU also stated that this was an increasing trend at registered NSSA at his ground.
 
PJU advised that this was very unfair to the hosting venue and that something should be done to dissuade entrants from this very inconsiderate action.
 
After discussion it was decided that there would be a system implemented whereby a shooter booked into a BSSA championship who fails to show, will be required to pay their entry in full on a target only basis to any subsequent BSSA championship booked for the remainder of that shooting year.
 
If that no show appertains to the last championship of the year, this ruling will be applied to the whole of the following shooting year for that individual.
 
Having booked in, entrants to BSSA championships do reserve the right to cancel, but must have a confirmed cancellation with the BSSA appointed shoot organiser 72 hours before the event.
 
Shooters also reserve the right for whatever reason not to shoot the event or gauge having paid and attended, but will receive no refund and the clays cost will be paid to the ground hosting that championship with the remaining balance going to the BSSA.
 
Decision unanimously agreed. DP asked PJU to advertise this ruling on the BSSA web site."
