The Results from the October Online Handicap Shoot have been pulled. The AIM Team has received phone calls from concerned coaches as to why some of his/her shooters scores were not included in the results, coaches experiencing this issue were coaches that faxed in their results. The AIM team originally only received the first page of the fax. Therefore, if a coach had multiple pages of scores the first page was the only page processed. We are looking into this issue with our electronic fax machine. We were able to upload the other pages in a different format. We apologize for the inconvenience and want to extend a sincere apology to our AIM Shooters, Coaches, and Parents. This is very frustrating to us as well. We will be posting what we will deem “Preliminary Results” please check these scores and ensure that all shooters that participated in the event are shown on the Preliminary Results page. Coaches will have until Monday November 29th to make sure all scores are accounted for. Again, we understand that this is frustrating. We simply want to make sure that the results are correct and fair.

Regards,
AIM Team

Coaches should retain the score sheet for each tie-breaking 25 bird sub-event that follows the regular 100 target AIM Online event.
