AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL RULES:

PAGE 3 & 4

C. STATE ORGANIZATIONS AND ATA DELEGATE ELECTIONS Shooters in the various States and Provinces are organized into State and Provincial Associations, which under the auspices of the ATA, control shooting in their own territories and conduct State and Provincial championship tournaments. Shooters are required to pay any fees and dues which may be set by these State/Provincial Associations in their place of residence in order to be considered members in good standing of that State/Provincial Association. Such associations receive assistance from the ATA in the form of trophies and cash refunds. This assistance is explained in Rule X., C. At each annual State or Provincial championship tournament sanctioned by the ATA, a business meeting will be held on a date and time specified in the program for the tournament. The meeting date must be one of the last three (3) days of the tournament, held no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and no later than 9:00 p.m. If, however, the meeting is held on the last day of the tournament then it must commence no later than 12:00 noon. At the business meeting 4 all members of the ATA residing in that State or Province, who are present in person at the meeting and are also members of their State or Provincial Association, who have been active members (e.g., having registered targets) in any two (2) target years, shall be entitled to vote for a State or Provincial Delegate and for not over two (2) Alternate Delegates. A current (paper) Average Card, the form of which shall be determined by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, shall evidence ATA membership, Life and Annual. Annual memberships are effective on the date the application is completed and membership fee is paid. Intentionally falsifying information on the membership application will render it void. (See By Laws ARTICLE IV, Section 1: Elections). A member shall not be qualified to cast a ballot for a State or Provincial Delegate or Alternate Delegate(s) until properly qualified in accordance with this Paragraph. A shooter who has paid his/her dues and exhibits the receipt for payment may participate in registered shoots. The criteria for election as a State Delegate or Alternate Delegate are: - actual physical residence within the boundaries of the State/Province of representation, and - in receipt of life membership certificate from the ATA, and - a member in good standing of the State/Provincial Association of the State/Province of representation, and - ATA member in good standing for at least five (5) consecutive years, and - active participation as evidenced by registration of at least 3,000 targets total (Singles, Handicap and Doubles combined) in current and previous four (4) years, and of at least 500 targets each year in the current and previous four (4) years, and - Shall not have been suspended within the prior five (5) years or for a period of one (1) year or more. Target registration may be waived by the State or Provincial Association for shooters with an extensive target history who because of documented physical problems are not currently able to participate. Selection of the State or Provincial Delegate, and the Alternate Delegate(s) should be given the utmost consideration. Delegates (or in their absence Alternate Delegates), in a properly called meeting, constitute the Board of Directors of the ATA and as such have the responsibility of overseeing the operation of the Association. Only those persons who are responsible dedicated individuals should be considered.
