About Wyco

WYCO PRL is a precision rifle league built for shooters across the Front Range. Our series brings together five independent monthly one-day matches hosted in Laramie, WY · Cheyenne, WY · Pawnee (N.O.C.O.), CO · Colorado Springs, CO · Rawlins, WY.

Founded by Jesse Shwen and Luke Zapf, WYCO PRL is designed to be both competitive and welcoming — a place where brand-new shooters can learn, and experienced competitors can push their limits. Whether you’re chasing a win or simply looking to improve, WYCO PRL offers the chance to compete, track your progress, and still be home for dinner.

The season culminates in a Finale Match, where qualified shooters bring the year’s experience together for one championship event.

Rules

1. Match Director Authority

  • Match times, scoring, rifle restrictions, and course of fire are determined by each Match Director (MD).

  • Cancellations, disqualifications, rainouts, and final standings for individual matches are the responsibility of the MD.

2. Season Dates

  • The WYCO PRL season tentatively runs April 1 – August 31 (see official schedule).

  • Only matches listed on the schedule count toward season points.

  • The Finale Match will be held in September and is worth double points.

3. Registration

  • Registration is open until August 1.

  • Only scores posted after registration count toward WYCO points.

4. Score Submission

  • Monthly match scores are submitted by MDs to WYCO PRL.

  • Scores are recorded exactly as reported.

  • Competitors are responsible for confirming their scores with the MD before leaving a match.

5. Season Scoring & Finale Qualification

  • A competitor’s season score is the sum of their top scores from three (3) different venues.

  • Recording scores from three venues qualifies the shooter for the Finale.

  • Points earned at the Finale are added to the competitor’s season total.

  • Classifications are locked going into the Finale — competitors shoot in the class they’ve earned during the season.

6. Classification System

  • All competitors begin each new season as Unclassified.

  • A competitor’s first three scores are averaged to determine initial classification.

Class Tiers

  • A Class: Average greater than 87% of match winner.

  • B Class: Average greater than 67% and ≤ 87%. Three consecutive scores above 87% will move the shooter to A Class.

  • C Class: Average ≤ 67%. Three consecutive scores above 67% will move the shooter to B Class.

Classing Rules

  • Competitors can class up, but not class down.

  • Example: If a shooter begins in B Class and later records three consecutive scores above 87%, they are permanently an A Class shooter.

  • Exceptions to classing down may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

  • Classifications are locked for the Finale — you will compete in the class you’ve earned during the season.

7. WYCO Points System

  • The match winner receives 100 WYCO points.

  • All other shooters receive points as a percentage of the winner’s score.

Example:

  • Winner scores 69/81 → earns 100 WYCO points.

  • Next shooter scores 67/81 (97.101% of 69) → earns 97.101 WYCO points.

  • 13th place scores 41/81 (59.420% of 69) → earns 59.420 WYCO points.

8. Tiebreakers

  • Ties at individual matches are resolved by the MD.

  • If two or more shooters tie for first place, all tied shooters receive 100 WYCO points.

  • Ties for all other places are scored strictly by the WYCO formula.

9. Sportsmanship & Integrity

  • Competitors must follow the rules of each match.

  • Any intentional rule violation, falsification of scores, or misconduct intended to gain advantage may result in loss of WYCO PRL points for that match or the season.

  • Final decisions on disciplinary matters rest with WYCO PRL.
