NDC - National District Championships 

 

30th August  -  NDC 2018 FINAL -   RESULTS

In Division One of the A Leaue Waikato Thoroughbreds finished up on top with a good win over Manawatu Marauders by 15 - 1. Outstanding scores were Waikato's Rory McLeod with 100.10 and Manawatu's Peter Neilson 200.15.

In Division 2 Eastern Force also had a good win over Southern Centurions 13 - 1. The only bonus point in this match was Southlands Junior Rachelle Voigt 100.7.

In the B League with the three teams competing in the final the Mid Canterbury Titians took the win with a good lead of 24 over the Auckland Jaffas on 10 and the Manawatu Minnows on 2.  The bonus points in this competition come from the Titians Juniors of Lanelle McArthur with a 100.8 and Shania Harrison-Lee with 100.7.

Congratulations to the Winning Teams and also to all the competitors who shot in these Finals.  I would like to thank all the Co-ordinators for their part of keeping this NDC Competition going, you all did a good job by getting the scores back to me in good time for me to process and return the results.

A big thank you to all the teams that competed this year and was good to see the B League started. Hopefully we can get some more in this league next year.

I have enjoyed putting all these scores together for this NDC Competition and look forward to working with you all next year. All the best for the rest of the indoor competition.

Cheers

9th August  -  Semi-Final  (A-League) & Round 3  (B-League)  -   RESULTS

Well that’s the A-League Semi Finals over for this year.   In the First Division it was good to see that Taranaki got a bit closer in the Open but in the end Waikato pulled ahead for the 14 - 0 win.  The second Semi Final was a bit closer with Manawatu Marauders 9 to Hutt Valley Hawkes 4.  The only bonus points in both finals was a junior, Liam McDonald with 100.6 - well done to Liam.

In the Second Division Eastern Force nearly did to Nelson the same as Waikato did to Taranaki , ending up at 13 - 1.  At least Nelson got a bonus point, yet again by a Junior shooting 100.7 - well done to Katherine Butt.  Also another shooter who shot in the Eastern Force Composite Squad, Stephanie McNair shot a teriffic 100.9 in her double, only just testing out for the possible 100.10. (Robbie and Ruth had both better pull up their socks with both Lachie and Stephanie both shooting great scores).

In the Semi Final of the Second Divison the scoring was a lot closer with Southland Centurians heading off Marlborough Suns by 8 - 5 so some good close shooting there.

So this leaves Waikato Thoroughbreds against Manawatu Marauders in the A Division and Eastern Force againts Southland Centurians in the B Divison.  In the relegation Match the Plainsmen will shoot against the winner of the B Division.

 

In the B League the Auckland Jaffas held the Manawatu Minnows to a close win of 6 - 4.  These scores were obtained without any bonus points by both teams.  The Juniors were very close to each other with only 7 points difference in their totals.


As per the Executive decision, all three teams will shoot in the final on the 30th of August .  All the best to all three teams for this night as this is the first final for the B League for this competition.

Thank you
Doug

Changes to B-League for remainder of 2018 NDC

The issues around the B-League bonus points calculations raised following the Manawatu vs Mid-Canterbury match were discussed at the TSNZ Executive meeting on 27th July. 

The Executive agreed that issues raised are valid, and that the rules as written and applied so far are not exactly what was intended when this new competition was designed, as the bonus/penalty emphasis had inadvertently been moved away from shooter scores.  This will be reviewed before next year’s match, and the 2018 B-League teams will be contacted for input on this at the end of the NDC competition.

As for the current un-finished 2018 match, as shooters for the matches shot already were selected on the basis of the rules as currently written, it is not possible to recalculate past scores on a different basis during the course of the competition.
 

However, in the spirit of ensuring all teams have an equal chance of winning the competition despite the earlier points application, the Executive have decided that:

  • The final Round Robin match between Auckland Jaffas and Manawatu Minnows will be shot on the intended basis of the competition – i.e. with bonus / penalty points being applied to the Shooters’ scores, not the Teams’ scores.  This means that all teams will have had a match using this type of team selection before entering the Final.
     
  • ALL THREE TEAMS (Auckland Jaffas, Manawatu Minnows and Mid-Canterbury Titans) will shoot in the FINAL, regardless of their Round Robin scores.
     
  • The team with the highest score from the Round Robin will be the Finals HOST.
     
  • Points in the Final will also be awarded on the original intention of the match – that is, penalty / bonus points will be subtracted / added to the Shooters’ scores, not the Teams’ Total scores.   Finals scores will start from zero, with all Round Robin scores being discarded.

The original NDC competition (now the A-League) was initially run as a trial and was tweaked for 2-3 years before settling into the format now used, so it’s not entirely unexpected that the new B-League has needed the same sort of process.It’s important that TSNZ receive feedback from those who entered the first year of this new competition, and they are thanked for taking the opportunity to enter and compete.  We look forward to the B-League evolving into a robust and exciting competition in the coming years.

 

19th July   -  Round 4  (A-League) & Round 2 (B-League)  -   RESULTS

 

A-League:

Round 5 is all over with some top scores still being achieved. Well done to Denva Wren with a 300.18, Dave Fake on 200.11 and a 100.10 by Roy Herbison.

Going to the points table with this weeks added, Waikato ends up with a total of 73 after collecting 24 points on their double challenge last night. This gives a range for the top 4 teams from 73 down to Taranaki's 42 who also had a good collect of 14 points to sneak into the semi-finals. 

The Division Two's range is smaller with the top 4 on a difference of 16. Good close competition. Good to see the Junior competitors in both divisions keeping up on good scoring.
The semi-final programme is attached, so good luck and all the best to all 8 teams.


B-League:

Great shooting by Lanelle (100.8) and Shania (100.9), Titans Juniors.  There are going to be big discussions over rule 5.2 For the B League. There is an Executive meeting before the next NDC, so WATCH THIS SPACE.

Cheers
DOUG.

28th June   -  Round 4   -   RESULTS
 

B-League:

Sorry for the delay for the start of B League Competition, just sorting out a couple of hiccups.  A very close start to this competition with only 8 points difference in the total.
Even though the Titians had to use a B Grader in the Graded Team and receive a 5 point penalty, they still had a win.  The Junior Shooters shot very well for their first time in the NDC Team.  Keep up the good shooting.

A-League:

It seems as the year goes on the scores are certainly climbing.  In the A-League Division One: 300.24 by Pratik Tailor (Wellington); five 200's: Helen Frieman 200.15 (Manawatu), Ray McCaw 200.13 (Canterbury), and three from Waikato - Tony Beaver 200.11, Rory McLeod 200.13, and Owen Bennett 200.10 (I think we should swab this team or see what they get fed before they shoot !!!!!!!); Dave Fake from Taranaki with 100.10 in his double.

As far as the points table goes, Manawatu is sneaking up the front with 57 Points, with Waikato and Hutt Valley not too far behind.

Divison Two is also getting some good top scores and we would like to see what the Nelson Juniors are on, Top three places in the Juniors - WELL DONE

The points table in Divison Two has the top two of Eastern Force and Southland Centurions within One point of each other.

Round Five will see some interesting theories for the rest to get into the top Four for the Semi Finals

7th June  -  Round 3   - RESULTS

Amended results are now attached below. 

I made an error for the Southland Centurions Junior Score, and have now rectified it on this result sheet.   Also I missed inserting John Shepherd's score of 298.17 being 3rd in the Top 5 of Division 2. I had him marked as 3rd on the Southland score sheet where I mark placings in red before I insert the names on the result sheet, but I missed John's name when doing so. My apologies John.

Division One this week can be seen as a bit one sided as 3 teams got a kick up the backside by getting a score of 0 each, this includes our team Taranaki.  How do you even try to catch an oppostion, (Manawatu Marauders) when there are 9/100's shot in the open team? This includes a 200 each from Wade Mace and Jamie Bonis. Great scores. The team also cleaned all 3 sections and ended up with a total of 4994.260. Can only congratulate them and get them swabbed next time!

The Plainsmen had a double header against Canterbury Snipers and Hutt Valley Hawkes and still came away with no points. The other 0 was Wellington Tigers against Waikato Thoroughbreds.

In Division 2 Eastern Force had a good win against Marlborough Suns with the great help from Kirsten Birrell shooting a 300.18. Very well done.

The results from Wanganui Warriors/Otago Blue and Gold, and Southland Centurions/Nelson Gunz were very close with only 10 points separating both matches.

Keep up the good shooting everybody as there are only 2 more rounds in the round robin before the semi's.  Also the B League start there rounds next NDC night. All the best to them

Doug Gibson.

 

17th May  -  Round 2   - RESULTS

In Division One of this round there was some good scoring by some teams, as the total points show Manawatu Marauders sneaking away at the top with another three teams hanging around in the second place areas.  Jamie Bonis's 200.11 and Sam Gooding's 200.10 are helping to keep the bonus points to good use.  Also Waikato Junior Samantha Riddle with 100.8 and 100.7 gaining bonus points also.

Division Two are into real close scoring as Southland Centurions beat Eastern Force by only one point.  The bonus points in this challenge did not help this time as Southland's junior Jordan Erskine's 100.6 matched the bonus point from Eastern Force with Fabian Sinclair's 100.6 also.

Marlborough's Regan Cowe shot well with 100.10 on his first card of the double.

Keep up the good scores as we look forward to Round 3.

     Doug.

 

 

26th April  -  Round 1   - RESULTS

Welcome to the first round of NDC for 2018. Some good scoring to start the season with Wellington Tigers off to a good start in Division One. One 200.12 was shot by Trevor Smith from Waikato.
Also Waikato Junior Samantha Riddle with her first 100.10 and Monique Sheffield with a close 99.9, another Junior from Canterbury, Sam Allison, with a 99.6.  Congratulations to these shooters
In Divison Two Eastern Force has really kicked off the season with a maximum of 13 points but no bonuses. When you see the top scores for this Divison they just about take all the positions
All the best for the rest of the season.

Doug
