ME Shootout Event

– The top 8 shooters will participate in a phased elimination match on Sunday the day after the MARS Finale. All shooters will start the ME Shootout with zero points. Scores will be based off of hits plus time format, where any extra time left on the clock will be converted into points based of the formula (90 second par time – time elapsed = time remaining / 10 = Bonus points)

Format:
Phase 1 – Top 8 shooters are split into 2 groups based off their ranking and placed into bracket positions. Each group will shoot 2 stages, then swap stages and shoot both of those stages for a total of 4 stages. Upon completion each group will lose their bottom 2 shooters, leaving us with the final 4.

Phase 2 – The final 4 will retain their scores and times from the first four stages and they will shoot 2 more stages. Scores will be calculated and we will eliminate 2 more shooters.

Phase 3 – The Final two shooters will battle it out best 2 out of 3 to see who will become the 2025 MARS ME Champion.
