Welcome Shooters,
On behalf of the ATA Executive Committee, I wish to welcome you to the
2021 Empire Grand at the New York State facility at Cicero. It is almost
exactly the same distance to Cicero from my home in Collingwood,
Ontario, as it is to Cicero, New York (Empire Grand), both at 500 km (310
miles). Both are like home clubs to me.
Over the years I have attended a great many competitions at Cicero. New
York has a very organized and active Board and volunteer base. It is home
to the now famous “New York” dome targets – for more details come and
see for yourself.
All the best to all competitors and hope to see you on the line.

the classification room and have your yardage increased. In all events that include class advances, all
shooters (regardless of category) with scores that equal or exceed the score of the class champion will
be advanced starting with the next like event. Any shooter whose class or yardage is changed for any
reason shall be considered to be notified when the new class or yardage is posted on the bulletin sheet.
2) Any shooter failing to carry out rule one, or who shoots in a class or from a yardage higher or lower

only one category (i.e. Lady I, Lady II, Sub-Junior, Junior, Junior Gold, Sub Veteran, Veteran, Sr.
Veteran) Note: Chair shooters are exempt from this rule.
• Any shooter who is tied for event Champion may shoot-off/carry-over for the Championship

category at the time of classification, the shooter must fall back to the declared category.
• Any shooter who has declared a special category at the time of classification and whose score
qualifies for any trophy in his/her declared category will compete for the category trophy and
not for place, class, or yardage group.
• Any special category shooter, whose score does not qualify for a trophy in his/her category,
may compete for place, class, or yardage group trophies.
• Once any declarations have been made either by shooter or shoot management, the declaration
is final and cannot be changed. The only exception to this rule is per the guidelines established
by the ATA Rule Book.
• All Lady I, Lady II, Sub-Junior, Junior, Junior Gold, Sub Veteran, Veteran, Sr. Veteran shooters
must declare their special category at the time of classification in any registered tournament if
they wish to compete as a category shooter. Without such declaration, the contestant will not
be allowed to compete for the applicable category trophy for the duration of the tournament.
No contestant will be allowed to declare or change a special declaration after firing his/her first
shot. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
4) Each shooter who is entitled to receive money won during any event agrees that if such money is
not received by him during the period of this tournament, a check in payment for the money won
may be mailed to him at the address indicated by ATA records. And, when so mailed the Club will
not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any check lost, stolen or otherwise not received by the
shooter. NO ENTRIES REFUNDED UNLESS EVENT IS CANCELLED.

28 2021 Empire GrandPRE-SQUADDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
EMPIRE GRAND AMERICAN
Again for 2021, PRESQUAD.COM will be used along with the usual way of pre-squadding
for those who do not have a computer. Paying by credit card or PayPal will be used
to pay the fees due for pre-squadding. Check may be sent to the address below. The
deadline is May 17, 2021.
The non-refundable service charge of $2.00 per position, per event, must be included
with each request form or received by mail within 14 days of making the pre-squad on
PRE-SQUAD.COM. Multiply the number of positions selected by $2.00. Anytime after
9:00 AM Wednesday morning, you may pickup a receipt showing your squads and
position for this shoot.
A shooter may only draw one position per event. Any shooters wishing to squad together
must fill out only one application indicating the shooter’s full name, ATA number, and
Handicap yardage on the line indicating the position that shooter wishes to reserve.
Please use duplicate forms if you are squadding different shooters for some events (ex.
If you are shooting with one group for Singles and other people for Handicap, use one
form for Singles and another for Handicap)
Chair shooters should identify with a note attached to the form indicating name, ATA
number and position(s) requested for the chair shooter(s).
Applications for full or partial squads that do not have the required information will not
be processed. A shooter wishing to switch positions with another shooter must have
both ATA numbers and present them to a point of sale cashier. SHOOTERS DESIRING
TO CHANGE SQUADS AND/OR POSITIONS IN AN EVENT MUST RELINQUISH THE
POSITION THEY ARE HOLDING BEFORE BEING ELIGIBLE TO REQUEST A NEW
POSITION.
All presquad positions for all events each day shall be honored and held until 30 minutes
prior to the start of the first event of that day.
All applications shall include the proper form(s) and a check in the appropriate amount
made payable to NYSATA.
All Singles and Handicap events will be 25 targets per trap, four trap banks. Wednesday
3 banks will be available. Thursday thru Sunday all 6 banks will be used.
All Doubles events will be shot 100 targets per trap. Wednesday 6 traps, Thursday 12
