How the ladder challenge works:

• Each ladder member must challenge any ladder member that is above them in the ladder standings at least once (1) a month. Person in number one (1) ladder position does not have to challenge.
• Failure to challenge monthly will move you to the bottom of the list.
• Both members must agree to the date, location, and time of the match.
• Both ladder members must shoot the challenge at the same time. They can either use the same lane or two (2) lanes next to each other.
• The higher ladder member will supply two targets of their choice of the possible required targets. Targets will list round count and distances. The higher ladder person can decide stand or sit (no external rest with Pistols).
• Benched/Optic .22/Center Fire: both competitors may choose to use the option to recheck their optic with a sight in target prior to the actual ladder match.
• After the shooting is completed the two competitors will each sign both targets and have their targets turned into the CMP match director for scoring and recording by the director. The directors’ decision is final.
• The match winner may possibly move up the ladder. 
• Each match competitor may challenge any person on the ladder in the same month (not more than twice).
• Any person joining after the start of a session will be placed at the bottom.
• A Required pre-season meeting/shooting for ladder placement prior to season. If a previous ladder member at same level, they will use last season’s standing (placement/handicap) for new season.
