The A.B.D.A. is for league shooters from leagues that keep individual averages. Once a shooter participates in an A.B.D.A. tournament they automatically become a member. There are
NO
MEMBERSHIP FEES!
The Qualifier Tournaments are in place so that a league can host a local
tournament for the players that really aren't interested in traveling too
much and also to benefit financially the league and/or establishment that
hosts the event. It also benefits the local teams that QUALIFY (the top 25%
get a SEEDED PLACEMENT in the draw for the finals in Emmaus). ALL OTHER TEAMS
(including teams that may NOT HAVE QUALIFIED LOCALLY) are still welcomed
and encouraged to enter the finals event (providing there is room in the
draw) and accept the usual luck-of-the-draw placement. We have opened up
the draw this year so we can accommodate more teams and consequently pay
out more prize money!
