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
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 financially benefit the league and/or establishment that hosts the event.
It also benefits the local teams that QUALIFY. The top 25% of the field gets
a SEEDED PLACEMENT in the draw & PAID ENTRY into the Main Event in Emmaus.
ALL OTHER TEAMS (including teams that may NOT HAVE QUALIFIED LOCALLY) are still
welcomed and encouraged to enter their team in the Main Event in Emmaus (providing
there is room in the draw) and accept the usual luck-of-the-draw placement.
We have opened up the draw again this year so we can accommodate more teams
and continue to pay out decent prize money to 4 different ability level divisions!
