The ICTSC Home International
The 48th ICTSC Olympic Trap Home Countries International Tournament is being held in Northern Ireland - Details to be released.
Home International Team Selection Process
Below is the process used to decide selection for the England OTR Team for Home International Team matches only (under the jurisdiction of the ICTSC).
The 3 selection shoots in will run between April and July. To be considered for a place on the Olympic Trap England Team to compete in the Home International at least two scores from the three designated selection shoots should be submitted.
For all events when the scores are submitted, the scores (for each Selection Shoot) from High Gun are calculated on Points from High Gun x 125 and those with the lowest points will go through to represent England.
All scores will be checked and verified. In the event of a tie for the last place on the team, the lowest points achieved at the last selection shoot will decide the place. If a tie still exists the highest aggregate score will determine the place.
The deadline for submitting these scores is 6th July 2026.
