and with new rules again.

 

CHANGES IN FINALS RULES

10m and 50m Single Position Events.  The two 3-shot series at the beginning of each Final were increased to 5-shot series to be fired in 250 seconds (150 seconds for 50m Rifle Prone).  These Finals will now consist of 24 shots.

25m Pistol Women.  This Final is changed to a progressive elimination Final that is very similar to the very successful 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men Final.  In the new format, eight finalists will shoot four 5-shot series.  After the fourth series, the 8^th place athlete will be eliminated.  Eliminations will continue until the gold and silver medals are decided after the tenth series.

Shotgun Finals.  Skeet, Trap and Double Trap Finals will also change from the current semifinal-medal match format to a progressive elimination Final.  Shotgun finalists will shoot in qualification rank order, with the qualification ranking deciding ties for 6^th, 5^th, 4^th  and 3^rd places.  All Trap finalists will shoot 25 targets with eliminations or medal decisions occurring after 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 targets.  Double Trap finalists will shoot 15 doubles with eliminations taking place after 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 doubles.  The new Skeet Final will be based on 10-target sequences that include regular and reverse doubles on station 3, a regular or reverse double on station 4 and regular and reverse doubles on station 5.  Station 4 doubles will alternate between regular and reverse doubles for each 10-target sequence.  Skeet eliminations or medal decisions will occur after 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 targets.

they are just destroying this sport...

 

by the way, it's now official (we just have to wait for ratification at the deadline) that 10m Pistol, 10m Rifle and Trap are the 3 Mixed Events that will be chosen for Tokyo 2020, thus cutting once and for all 50m Pistol, Prone Rifle and Double Trap off from the Olympic program...

so, it's because of this encouragement that we (in Italy) are going so far ahead (hope you can read a bit Italian)...
