An agg score is the total of the scores shot for all three classes at one day's match. A competitor who shoots all five matches will drop his worse total one day agg score. A competitor must shoot at least four matches, shooting all three classes, to be eligible. The winner at each sanctioned local club will be awarded the title "Club Grand Aggregate Champion". Perfect score is 3000-300x's.

The National "Shooter of the Year" will be the Club Grand Agg Champion with the highest agg score. In case of a tie, the results of the first match, beginning with the Sporter Class, will be checked. Highest score shot in Sporter Class at first match will win. If a tie still exists, the results of the 10.5, and then the results of the 13.5 will be checked. If tie still exists, the results of the second match, beginning with the Sporter Class, will be checked and so on.

Class Grand Champions / Club Class Champions
The highest total score for each class for the best four of five SOTY matches will determine the three winners. Competitors must shoot four matches to be eligible per class contested. The winners at each sanctioned local club will be awarded the title "Club Class Champion". Perfect score is 1000-100x's.

The three National "Class Grand Champions" will be the three Club Class Champions with the highest total score in each class. In case of a tie, the highest single score shot will determine the winner. If a tie still exists, the next highest score will be used and so on.
