Selection to all teams is based upon high average; All-State Team and Concurrent selection is based upon 4-gun HOA average. An individual can only be selected for one team. The order of precedence for selection, and number selected, are:
1. All-State Team – 10
2. 12 Gauge Team – 5
3. 20 Gauge Team – 5
4. 28 Gauge Team – 5
5. .410 Bore Team – 5
6. Doubles Team – 5
7. Concurrent HOA – 1 in each concurrent category: Sub-Junior; Junior; Triple-Sub; Sub-Sub-Senior; Sub-Senior; Senior; Veteran; Senior Veteran; Lady; Retire Military and Rookie
In order to be eligible for selection to an MSA State Team, the following criteria apply:
All-State Team: Individuals must have shot at least 1,000 12 gauge targets; 800 20 gauge targets; 800 28 gauge targets; 800 .410 targets; and 500 Doubles targets during the previous target year.
All-Gauge Teams: Individuals must have shot the minimum targets in at least 2 gauges or one gauge and doubles as follows: 1,000 12 gauge targets to be eligible for the 12 Gauge team; or 800 20 gauge targets to be eligible for the 20 Gauge team; or 800 28 gauge targets to be eligible for the 28 Gauge team; or 800 .410 targets to be eligible for the .410 team; or 500 Doubles targets to be eligible for the Doubles team during the previous target year.
Concurrent: With the exception of Senior Veteran, Sub-Junior and Rookie, individuals must have shot at least 1,000 12 gauge targets; 800 20 gauge targets; 800 28 gauge targets; 800 .410 targets; and 500 Doubles targets during the previous target year. For Senior Veteran and Sub-Junior, 700 12 gauge targets, 500 20 gauge targets, 400 28 gauge targets, 400 .410 targets and 300 doubles targets are the minimums required. For Rookie 700 12 gauge targets, 500 20 gauge targets, 500 28 gauge targets, 500 .410 targets and 300 doubles targets are the minimums required for Rookie of the Year.
Additional requirement for all teams: If only the minimum number of required targets is shot, then all but 200 targets in each gauge/event must be “regular targets” (i.e., not “targets only”). For each 100 targets above the required “regular targets,” “targets only” are allowed. However, no “targets only” shot after the Michigan State Skeet Championships will be used for determining an individual’s eligibility unless they are needed to make the minimum target requirements.
Note: Effective with the 2012 selections, the two lowest scores will be dropped from each gauge for calculation of the HOA average IF an individual has 200 or more targets than the minimum requirement. If an individual only has 100 more targets than the minimum requirement, then only the lowest score will be dropped. This only applies to selection for the All-State Team.
