WFDA Points are assigned in two type of contests: Vice-Chairman sanctioned, and Chairman sanctioned. All WFDA competitors receive one point for entering these contests, and one point for each shooter they place ahead of in the contest. For example, with 50 shooters in a contest, the winner would receive 50 points. The second placed shooter would receive 49 points, etc. The Vice-Chairman contests are regional contests, with annual totals being added for VC contests within that area. An area must hold at least three contests in a year for the top shooter to receive that area's Top Gun award (see the Shooter Contact List for maps of the WFDA areas). Chairman sanctioned contests are the largest in the sport, with up to a hundred of the fastest guns in the world shooting it out for top honours. There are normally five to seven Chairman contests per year. Points are awarded in these contests in the same manner as the Vice-Chairman contests, with the top man and women being named the "All-Around World Champion" for that year. Also, the top 15 men and 8 women receive awards as the top guns for the year. The 2001 Chairman Top Gun Tour schedule included the following contests: World Traditional Index Championship - Gordon, NE - May 5-6 National Blank Elimination Championship - Stayton, OR - May 26-27 Wild Bill Hickok World Wax Elimination Champ. - Deadwood, SD - June 16-17 World Blank Elimination Championship - Bearspaw, AB, Canada - July 14-15 Montana State Championship - Big Timber, MT - July 28-29 National Index Championship - Stayton, OR - Sept. 8-9 2001 All-Around World Champions Nicole Franks & Howard Darby 2001 Year End Point Standings (Click here to view the Women's Results) Men's Division
