Quick Tips
WHAT THIS PAGE SHOWS:
PUBLIC view of official squadding assignments.
Shows: Bib numbers per athlete; Field/range assignments; Time rotations; Disciplines; Squad composition; Team names.
HOW TO USE:
- Select event from dropdown (only events with active squadding appear).
- Choose discipline tabs: International Skeet, International Trap, American Skeet, American Trap, American Sporting. Each discipline shows separately.
- Find your athlete: Scroll through table OR use browser search (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) for name OR search team name.
- Note details: Bib Number (wear during competition), Field (which range), Time (when squad shoots - arrive 15-30 min early), Squad mates.
BIB NUMBERS EXPLAINED:
What: Unique numeric ID for THIS event. Different from membership ID. Different from other events (each event assigns new bibs).
Why Important: Scorekeepers use bib to record scores. Referees identify by bib. Results show bib numbers. Safety tracking.
When Assigned: After registration closes and payment confirmed. Admin runs squadding weeks before event. Appears on this page after assignment.
What To Do: Write down or screenshot. Physical bibs provided at event check-in.
SQUADDING ASSIGNMENT:
When: AFTER registration deadline. AFTER payments confirmed. Usually 7-14 days before event. May be done in phases per discipline.
How Grouped: By team (teammates often together when possible). By rotation choice (from registration). By field capacity (5-6 per squad for skeet/trap). Mixed squads: Individuals/small teams combined.
If Missing: Check "Unassigned Athletes". Verify squad was PAID (unpaid not squadded). Check correct discipline tab. Refresh page. Contact admin if paid but missing.
ROTATIONS & FIELDS:
Rotation Time: START time. Arrive 15-30 min early. Squad takes 1-2 hours. Example: "Sat 9:00 AM" = report 8:45, shooting starts 9:00.
Field: Specific range (Field 1, Field 2, Skeet A, Trap B, etc.). GO TO CORRECT FIELD. Field maps can usaually be found near the club house at the event.
Discipline: Confirms what squad shoots. Athletes in multiple disciplines appear multiple times (once per discipline).
Common Issues
-
Athlete doesn't appear anywhere.
DIAGNOSIS:
- VERIFY PAYMENT: Is squad "Paid" in Squad List? If "Pending", they might not be squadded. Pay now, contact admin for inclusion.
- CORRECT EVENT: Check event dropdown - are you viewing the right event?
- ALL DISCIPLINES: Click through each discipline tab.
- REFRESH: Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R).
- DEADLINE: If deadline has not passed, squadding may not be assigned yet (typically 7-14 days before).
- UNASSIGNED LIST: Check bottom for unassigned section.
SOLUTION: Contact admin with athlete name, team, confirm paid (squad ID), ask status.
-
Bib number wrong or duplicated.
RARE but possible ISSUES:
- DUPLICATE: Two athletes same bib = serious error, contact admin IMMEDIATELY (scorekeeping impossible).
- OUT OF SEQUENCE: Numbers jump (101, 102, 150, 103) = usually OK (admin reserves ranges).
- MULTIPLE BIBS: Athlete listed twice with different bibs - check if in multiple disciplines (may be intentional) or error.
- UNEXPECTED NUMBER: No way to predict/request specific bibs.
SOLUTION: Only contact if duplicates exist, athlete truly missing, or listed twice in SAME discipline.
-
Field/time doesn't match our request.
ROTATION REQUESTS vs FINAL: Coaches SELECT rotation preference during registration. Admin may ADJUST during squadding based on: field capacity, load balancing, conflicts, space constraints. RESULT: Final may differ from request.
ACTION:
- CHECK ACCEPTABLE: Small shifts (9AM to 9:30AM) or field changes usually minor. If it works, no action is needed.
- IF PROBLEM: Time conflicts with athlete's other discipline or prevents attendance - contact admin IMMEDIATELY (not event day). Explain conflict, then ask if adjustment possible.
- DISCRETION: Admin may/may not accommodate depending on constraints.
TIMING: Contact as soon as squadding published.
-
Athlete in wrong squad or team.
MIXED SQUADS:
- SMALL TEAMS: 1-2 athletes may be squadded WITH other teams to fill squad (typical 5-6 for trap/skeet). This is NORMAL.
- INDIVIDUALS: Individual registrations mixed with team athletes.
- BALANCING: Admin fills fields efficiently. ACTUAL ERROR: If athlete shows under completely WRONG TEAM NAME (listed as Team A but from Team B) - contact admin immediately with athlete name, correct team, screenshot.
CLARIFICATION: "Squadded with" = shooting same rotation/field. Does NOT mean switched teams. Team affiliation remains for scoring/awards.
-
Can I request specific bib number?
NO. Bib numbers are assigned automatically by system. Cannot request specific numbers.
WHY: Must be unique per athlete per event. Admin uses algorithms for sequential/team groupings. Manual requests create conflicts and delays. REALITY: For 99% of situations, bib number doesn't matter - just an identifier. Focus on field and time, not specific number.
-
"No squadding assignments available yet."
CAUSE: Admin hasn't run squadding yet. TIMING: Typically 7-14 days before event. AFTER registration deadline. AFTER payments verified.
ACTION:
- CHECK ANNOUNCEMENTS: Email/website for when squadding published.
- VERIFY DEADLINE: If not passed, squadding not available. Complete registration and pay before deadline.
- WAIT: Check daily starting 2 weeks before event.
- CONTACT IF: Deadline was weeks ago with no squadding; Event in 5-7 days unpublished; Need info for travel.
PATIENCE: Squadding is complex - admin needs time for hundreds of athletes across disciplines/fields/times.
