Registration procedure and priority
Competitor registration to the GT began on Sunday January 23, 2011 at 19:00 Finnish time (UTC + 2 hours, see the link on the left menu). There is a total of 70 competitor slots in the GT main match. The first 60 competitor slots are allocated in the order of registration, the last 10 were initially reserved. The reserved slots were filled on February 13 from those who had registered to the GT waiting list by that time. The reserved slots were distributed based on standings on the Finnish IPSC ranking lists and the judgement of the GT organizers.
Normal registration to the GT will end on March 6, 2011. After that date, late registration will be available for a higher match fee, if there are slots left in the match.
Registering to a single component match only
The shotgun match will not be accepting competitors that are not participating in the GT, sorry. Only officials that work the shotgun match and specifically invited persons are eligible to shoot the shotgun match without participating in the whole GT.
Also due to the GT being fully booked, non-GT competitors will not be accepted into the rifle match. Exceptions might be made on a case-by-case basis (members of the Finnish IPSC rifle team, for example).
The handgun component match will accept some non-GT competitors, contact the handgun match director for registration instructions.
Tournament divisions
In order to force competitors of each GT division to compete against each other in every discipline, the GT will only offer restricted divisions. Thus the GT divisions are the following (the same as in 2010):
| GT division | Handgun | Shotgun | Rifle |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Open" | Open | Open | Open SA |
| "Practical" | Standard | Standard | Open SA |
| "Standard" | Standard | Standard | Standard SA |
| "Production" | Production | Standard Manual | Standard SA |
Tournament fees
Registration and payment of the personal Grand Tournament entry fee covers all three component matches as well as the GT. The GT team fee covers only the GT and is to be paid in cash at the first component match. Pre-registration (non-binding) of GT teams on the personal registration form is encouraged, however. All members (up to four persons) of a Finnish GT team must be representing the same shooting club because this is a Finnish Championship.
The tournament registration fee must be paid in full within two weeks (14 days) from submitting the registration form, or otherwise the registration is considered cancelled. All personal registration fees must also be paid by the end of the registration period, March 6, 2011. The above applies only to those who get a confirmed match slot, not those on a possible waiting list.
| GT registration (–6.3.2011) | juniors and ladies | 75 € |
| others | 150 € | |
| Late GT registration (7.3.2011–) | 180 € | |
| Team GT registration | 40 € | |
The table below applies to those who shoot all three component matches and officiate in 1–3 matces. Team fees are the same for both officials and competitors. GT match officials, by default, shoot all component matches in the prematch, even if they don't work the main match the following day.
| Shoot and work all 3 matches | free | |
| Shoot 3 matches and work 2 matches | free | |
| Shoot 3 matches and work 1 match | juniors and ladies | 37,50 € |
| others | 75 € | |
Payment instructions
Register online to the Grand Tournament before paying any fees. When you get a confirmation of succesfull registration and slot allocation to the GT, then pay the personal registration fee within two weeks of registration, and in any case before March 6, 2011. Personal GT registration fees must be paid to Turku IPSC's bank account IBAN: FI04 5711 5850 0611 18, SWIFT/BIC: OKOYFIHH. Remember to add a message of format "GT lastname firstname shooterID" to the payment. If you are paying for multiple shooters, add the names and possible shooter id numbers of all shooters to the message. If a non-Finnish shooter wants to pay the registration fee in cash at the first component match, contact the stats director immediately after registering. Registrations that haven't been paid within two weeks of confirmed registration are considered cancelled.
Received payments are updated regularly to the list of registered shooters. If, after registration, you find out you won't be able to participate in the GT, please let the stats director know about it, so we can free your slot to the next person on the waiting list. Paid registration fees are only returned due to medical reasons (a medical certificate is required), but a paid registration fee can be transferred to someone else participating in this GT.
Component match fees
Component match fees apply to those that don't shoot the whole tournament. Tournament shooters are given priority slots to all component matches. Teams may or may not be recognized in each component match. Payments related to component matches are handled directly by the club organizing the match, see the match specific pages.
| Registration | juniors and ladies | 30 € |
| others | 60 € | |
| Team registration | 20 € | |
| Arbitration fee | 70 € | |
