News from the Committees: the Running Target Commiettee met in Munich and promoted a new Internet League. The Committee also discussed about the 2012 World Championship and the Medal Match format.

The ISSF Running Target Committee met in Munich the 12th and the 13th of December in Munich, Germany, to discuss about several topics releted to the discipline. After the final wrap-up, the Committee reports that:

World Championships
The Swedish Sport Shooting Federation in Stockholm will organize the next separate World Championship for Running Target on 2-10 June 2012. All preparations are on schedule.


Running Target Medal Match
The Committee discussed current rules of the Medal Match. The Medal Match was used to decide the winners of the 10m Running Target Men and Women events during the 50th World Championships.  Some who watched those events felt the Medal Match was too short. The Committee thought that it would be possible to shoot the Medal Match while requiring 10 points to win instead of 6 points.  If the Medal Match is longer, then semifinals must be shot simultaneously after the qualification.  The Committee decided to discuss this with shooters and coaches during this year’s international competitions and to decide this issue at its next meeting.


Internet League for Running Target 
An Internet League for Running Target starts again at January.  All Running Target shooters are very welcome to participate.  Please contact Marc Heyer at his e-mail address: hdg-linz@aon.at
