Grand Prix Series

The GP series rankings are calculated by taking the scores achieved by each shooter in the series and dropping the lowest X scores (Dependent on number of GP's held in the season) and adding their GP percentage based score. There are champion across 6 categorisations of shooter AA, A, B, C, P and Open. In 2014 the already shorter series was reduced by a further GP due to the after effects of Hurricane Bertha.
