1.
The state
will be divided into two sections for awarding the MAAI indoor,
Target and field tournaments and the bowhunter 3D. The east section will
be clubs east of and including Helena and Three Forks. The west sections
will be all clubs west of Helena and Three Forks. MAAI secretary-treasurer
to the section, which has the fewest clubs, will assign any new clubs, which
is close to the division line.
2. The indoor and field shoots will be awarded to the east section in
odd-numbered years and to the west in even numbered years. The target

3. No club will be awarded two MAAI shoots in one year except if there are no
other eligible bidders, or by default. Whenever possible, shoots will be rotated
among the clubs. If two clubs in one section bid on the same shoot, it will be

MAAI shoot of
both clubs was in the same year, award will be made by a vote
of the Board of Directors.

on a shoot in one section, bids will be accepted from the other section.
