Registered Tournaments. 
The Interstate Association at its annual meeting in 
1913 materially changed the conditions governing Reg¬ 
istered Tournaments. These changes were deemed nec¬ 
essary for the best interests of trap shooting, and it is 
believed that they will benefit all concerned. The new 
conditions will eliminate certain undesirable features, 
while developing the sport on lines that are broad, 
wholesome and permanent. The matter of good sports¬ 
manship is given full consideration. 
For years past there has arisen in the realm of all 
recreations a disposition to effect a change in the sys¬ 
tem of rewarding the winners of competition—eliminat¬ 
ing the commercial side and establishing a finer and 
more glorious setting for all sports—by abolishing the 
professional type and favoring a class who participate 
in pastimes for sport’s sake alone, and who covet em¬ 
blems^ as rewards of merit. This is the trend today in 
the civilized world and applies to all high-class sports. 
The members of the Interstate Association gave recog¬ 
nition to this line of thought some time ago and each 
year steps have been taken calculated to accomplish 
gradually 'and gracefully for trap shooting the ideals of 
all true lovers of clean and wholesome sports. For 1914 
a larger step than usual has been essayed, but it is 
confidently believed that the step is not too abrupt and 
that the trap shooting fraternity will approve of the 
departure and accustom themselves to the altered meth¬ 
ods without much, if any, hesitation or confusion. 
Referring in detail to the changes made at the an¬ 
nual meeting of 1913, it was decided that, in the ap¬ 
portionment of the $20,000.00 Registered Tournament 
Fund for 1914, $9,000.00 shall be contributed to State 
Tournaments and $11,000.00 shall be contributed to Tour¬ 
naments other than State Tournaments. 
Approximately, $8,000.00 of the total Registered 
Tournament Fund will be contributed in trophies. 
Purchasing trophies in such large quantities means ad¬ 
ditional value for the fortunate winners. As a matter 
of fact, the retail value of the trophies will be double 
what they will cost the Interstate Association. 
To each approved State Tournament the Interstate 
Association will contribute $225.00, part of which will 
be in trophies, irrespective of the population of the 
State in which the Tournament is held. 
The $225.00 contributed to a Registered State Tour¬ 
nament will be made up as follows: $100.00 in cash 
which shall be awarded as the club holding the Tour¬ 
nament wishes; $75.00. in seven (7) trophies, which shall
