The Rules
Rifle League Original - Each shooter will have the opportunity to take 7 shots at each of the 5 distances. The shooter can engage any target they wish, a miss results in a zero for that shot. Max points possible for each distance is 35, max points for the match is 175 points. Bonus opportunity will be a random drawn plate rack distance and the shooter can chose the plate engagement for the value of that plate.
Rifle League Walk Out - Rifle League Walk Out will still be a 35 round match but 7 stages of 5 rounds. The shooter can select any of the 5 targets but must engage the selected target at every distance in the walk out - so if the shooter selects target 4 they must engage target 4 at every distance in stage 1, the shooter can change the selected target per stage. Max points possible for each stage is 25, max points for the match is 175 points.

Rimfire Rifle League Scoring
The point values for the variants of Rifle League are as follows - The largest plate on each rack is worth 1 point, the second largest plate is worth 2 points, the 3 largest plate is worth 3 points, the fourth largest plate is worth 4 points, the smallest plate is worth 5 points.
All Rifle League matches will use percentage-based scoring. Each match will have a winner who receives 100 percentage points, with all other shooters receiving a percentage based on their performance relative to the winner. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies will be awarded at the end of the season. To be eligible for season trophies, shooters must compete in at least one match of each variant as well as the Finale.
Season scoring will be calculated using your best score in each variant - 40%, your next highest regular-season score - 20% and the Finale, which counts twice - 40%
