"Categories" allow groups of athletes or teams to be grouped together, usually for presenting awards. For example, in a three-position air rifle match, you may group athletes by their equipment class, either "Sporter" or "Precision."
The list of possible Categories is dependent on the rulebook selected. The table below lists the Categories for the National Three-Position Air rifle Council rulebook. Please check your printed rulebook for specific meanings on the different Category options.

Perhaps your club awards the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification awards or you wanted to track CMP Air Rifle Distinguished vs non-distinguished in your competition. This is a customizable field that users may type in their own value. |
Most categories are static, meaning their values are assigned by their respective rulebooks. Some Categories are customizable, which means their values may be typed in when the match is created. Each rulebook has at least one customizable category.
Customizable categories may be used to define, for example, your own age groups, or define varsity vs junior varsity.
