7.6 Pistol Excellence-in-Competition Matches

Pistol EIC Matches are CMP-sanctioned matches where Non-Distinguished competitors can earn EIC credit points and all competitors can earn awards (see also Rule 2.0). Pistol EIC Matches include the National Trophy Individual Pistol Match and Pistol EIC Matches sanctioned by the CMP and conducted by CMP affiliated state associations and clubs.

7.6.1 Course of Fire

The Pistol National Match Course of Fire (Table 2) is used.

7.6.2 EIC Matches Place Medals

(1) National Trophy Individual Match. Place medals are awarded to the highest scoring 10 percent of all Non-Distinguished competitors as determined according to Rule 7.6.3. Gold medals are awarded to competitors earning 10 points, silver medals to competitors earning eight points and bronze medals to competitors earning six points. A Distinguished competitor is awarded the same place medal as the next non-Distinguished competitor who places below that individual.

(2) Other EIC Matches. For other CMP-sanctioned EIC matches, the top three finishers in each EIC match, regardless of Distinguished status, are awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze EIC Match place medals.

7.6.3 Determining EIC Credit Points

The highest scoring 10 percent of all Non-Distinguished competitors who fire recorded shots in at least two stages of the competition (Rule 5.11) in EIC Matches are awarded EIC credit points in accordance with this formula:

(1) Highest one-sixth of top 10 percent: Gold medal or 10 points

(2) Next highest two-sixth’s of top 10 percent: Silver medal or eight points

(3) Remaining three-sixth’s of top 10 percent: Bronze medal or six points

(4) In computing the awarding of EIC points, fractions of 0.6 or higher are rounded to the next higher number (For example, for 106 Non-Distinguished competitors there would be 11 medals awarded. 10% = 10.6 which rounds up to 11.
