V² FINALE MATCH PROGRAM

April 13-16, 2025

BAYOU RIFLE CLUB

 

RANGE LOCATION: 1803 County Road 57, Rosharon, TX 77583 

  

RULES:  V2 Finale rules and NRA Fullbore rules.

 

ENTRIES:  All entries are by invitation only

 

ELIGIBILITY:  Any individual receiving points in a qualifying F-Class Points Series match during the FPS season is eligible to be invited.  Individuals ranked in the top 32 for each class will automatically receive invites and a waiting list will be maintained beyond that, based on rank.

 

ADVANCE ENTRIES ARE REQUIRED:  All match fees must be paid in advance by individuals accepting an invitation.

 

ENTRY LIMITS: The tournament consists of 64 slots, with 32 allocated to each rifle class. If one rifle class does not reach full capacity, the other class may be expanded to accommodate up to a total of 64 shooters.

 

FEES: Entry Fee is $300 for the full match; no partial fees/days are available

 

PRACTICE FIRING:  There will be a practice session held the day before the tournament begins.

 

SEEDING: All entrants are seeded according to their position on the current season F-Class Points Series Leaderboard (http://v2finale.com/2020).

 

TARGETS: ICFRA ‘5V’ Target 

 

APPROVED COURSES OF FIRE:

            2 convertible sighters and 15 shots for record at 1000 yards, pair fire

            2 convertible sighters and 10 shots for record at 1000 yards, pair fire

            5 shots for record at 1000 yards, pair fire

 

TARGET SERVICE:  The match will be conducted on electronic targets.  Competitors should be prepared to provide their own electronic devices for target display.

 

EMPTY CHAMBER INDICATOR (ECI): An empty chamber indicator is required to be in your rifle except during the preparation period and while firing. 

 

SCORING: Competitors will score. Any competitor failing to perform scoring duties may be disqualified.

  

DIVISION BY RIFLE:  O: F-Open T: F-TR

 

MINIMUM ROUNDS REQUIRED: Due to the undefined path through a double elimination bracket, the possibility of only shooting two of the three possible stages in a match, and tie breakers, the estimate for total record rounds can vary widely. The path to the FINALE with the highest potential round count, could require 335 record rounds and 10 matches (not including sighters or tiebreakers). Expansion of a rifle bracket beyond 32 shooters will increase the minimum round count for the lowest seeded shooters by a maximum 45 record rounds, not including tie breakers or sighters.

 

AWARDS: Cash awards are distributed to the top 8 shooters for each rifle category.

With a full bracket of 32 the awards will be:

1st Place: $5,000

2nd Place:  $2,000

3rd Place:  $1,000

4th Place:  $500

5th Place: $300 

6th Place: $300 

7th Place: $300 

8th Place: $300

Reduced or increased entry in either rifle category will reduce/increase cash awards proportionately.

U.S. citizens receiving cash awards of $600 or more are required by IRS regulations to complete IRS form W-9.

Non-U.S. citizens receiving cash awards of $600 or more are subject to mandatory IRS withholding and completion of IRS form W-8BEN. This withholding may later be recovered by the recipient through IRS procedures.

 

SUNDAY: Open practice at the 1000-yard firing line. Times will be announced.

 

MATCH SCHEDULE: The following match schedule represents two complete rifle brackets. Adjustments to the number of shooters in either bracket may change the start times of each match on day 1. Prior to the start of the match an updated bracket will be posted to reflect any changes.
