Paid up members :
All competitors must be fully paid up members of the CTSASA, which includes their registered CTSASA club and their provincial CTSA. The on-line competition entry system will not allow an unpaid member to register their entry. Please contact your registered club with any membership queries you may have.
“No-Shows”/Cancellation (or edit) Entry
If you need to cancel (or edit) your competition entry, then you can do so by logging in to your profile, click on your name and then scroll down to view the competitions in which you are entered. You can cancel or edit the entry here. No-Show : If you fail to cancel your entry with the official Organising Committee prior to the commencement of the championship, and do not attend the championship, then the hosting club is entitled to charge the member half of the advertised entry fee. The member would then be declared not in good standing and will be unable to compete in further events until the outstanding fee is paid (rule 6.2 of the CTSASA Competition Regulations).
Competitors may be asked to Umpire and/or Score
Competitors may be called upon to umpire and/or score at CTSASA provincial and national championships. Please ensure that you are familiar with all the rules pertaining to the discipline(s) that you shoot and understand that there may be penalties if you refuse to score.

Safety Rules :
All participants in CTSASA championships are obliged to adhere to all safety rules. Each individual discipline rulebook is very specific in how competitors should behave with regard to safety. In addition, the CTSASA has the following specific rules which govern safety on Clay Target Shooting ranges:
Applicable Rules :
Please note that it is the sole responsibility, and duty, of the competitor to be fully conversant with all the relevant rules. All the rulebooks are available on the CTSASA web site here
CTSASA Competition Regulations :
This set of rules is in addition to the individual discipline rulebooks. This rulebook covers classification percentages, eligibility rules, age limits, provincial transfer rules, shoot-off rules (breaking ties), dress code and much more. Download the Competition Regulations HERE.
Squadding & Shooting Timetable:
The Host Club will always endeavour to squad competitors in all the disciplines they have requested. However, due to time and range constraints, this may not always be possible. This is particularly true for the standard championships (Skeet, Trap and Trench disciplines).
At all times, the onus is on the competitor to ensure he/she knows when they are shooting. Enquiries should be directed to the Shoot Organiser.
Eye & Ear Protection is Mandatory in all disciplines :
This is a South African law which governs all SABS certified shooting ranges. There are no exceptions to this rule.
National Trials :
CTSASA provincial and national championships are National Trials as per the National Trial Position Schedules and Regulations. However! Please note that sometimes due to the date of the designated events that some provincial/national championships might NOT be a national trial.

Please note that members are required to register for National Trials as per the regulations HERE.
