Further details on the component matches will be on component match specific pages later.
Registration procedure and priority
Competitor registration to the GT begins on Friday March 14, 2014 at 20:00 Finnish time (UTC + 2 hours, see the link on the left menu). There is a total of 80 competitor slots in the GT main match. The first 60 competitor slots are allocated in the order of registration, the last 20 are initially reserved. The reserved slots will be filled on March 30 from those who have registered to the GT waiting list by that time. The reserved slots are distributed based on standings on the Finnish IPSC ranking lists and the judgement of the GT organizers. If any competitor slots are left in the GT after March 30, they will be given out on a first-come first-served basis.
Normal registration to the GT will end on May 9, 2014. This is also the latest day of payment (due date) for the match fee. After that date, late registration will be available for a higher match fee, if there are slots left in the match. Late registrations will have to be paid in cash at the range when registering at the first component match.
Registering to a single component match only
Rifle: In addition to match/GT staff and GT competitors, the rifle match may accept single match competitors if there is room in the match after GT slots have been filled. Please do not try to register before March 30, if you are not going to shoot the whole Grand Tournament. All registrations to the rifle match will be put on hold until GT slots are distributed. Confirmations to those who are accepted into the rifle match will be sent separately via email.
Shotgun match will accept some single match competitors. For pistol match information, see the pistol match page. Details and registration instructions will be posted on match specific pages later.
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 GTs 2010-2012):
| 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 and single match fees
Registration and payment of the personal Grand Tournament entry fee covers all three component matches as well as the GT. Single match fee covers only one match (rifle, shotgun, or handgun). 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. Only Finnish teams will be recognized in the GT.
The tournament registration fee must be paid in full by May 9, 2014. All unpaid registrations will be considered cancelled the following week. The above applies only to those who have a confirmed match slot. Those who are on a possible waiting list will be notified via email, if they are accepted and the due date of the registration payment.
| whole GT | single match | ||
| Registration (–9.5.2014) | juniors and ladies | 87,50 € | 40 € |
| others | 175 € | 80 € | |
| Late registration (10.5.2014–) | 200 € | 90 € | |
| Team registration | 50 € | 40 € | |
The match official payments have been simplified: If you work in a match, you get to shoot that same match for free in the prematch. If you work at least one match, you will have to pay one third (1/3) of the regular GT competitor fee per each other match you only shoot in. 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 Shoot and work the same 2 matches Shoot and work the same 1 match | free | |
| Shoot 3 matches and work 2 matches Shoot 2 matches and work one of them | juniors and ladies | 29,17 € |
| others | 58,33 € | |
| Shoot 3 matches and work 1 match | juniors and ladies | 58,33 € |
| others | 116,67 € | |
Payment instructions
Register online to the Grand Tournament before paying any fees. When you get a confirmation of succesful registration and slot allocation to the GT, then pay the personal registration fee before the payment deadline (May 9, 2014). Personal GT registration fees must be paid to Porkkalan Ampujat bank account IBAN: FI26 1449 3000 1019 73, SWIFT/BIC: NDEAFIHH. When paying, remember to use your personal payment reference number (viitenumero), shown on the registered shooters list and on your registration confirmation email. Payments that don't include your payment reference number are considered donations to the GT organizers (thank you!). If you are paying for multiple shooters, you will need to make separate payments for every shooter, unless you are paying from a non-Finnish bank account. GT team registration fees are only accepted in cash at registration in the rifle match.
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.
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.
| Registration | juniors and ladies | 40 € |
| others | 80 € | |
| Team registration | 20 € | |
| Arbitration fee | 70 € | |
