As a region SEFTA [South East Filed Target Association] holds a league every year through the winter. It runs for roughly 5 months with 1 or 2 shoots a month. They are split between the four clubs in the region: ETL ftc, Springfield ARC, Kent Woodsmen, and Iceni Marksmen.
There are 10 rounds and each club will host 2 rounds over the league.
After each round the top 4 people from each round will qualify for the showdown.
Not only is it a competition between individuals within their grade but it also consists of teams from each club. The clubs may have as many teams as they like but each team must be comprised of 4 shooters; the 4 shooters don't have to be the same grade.
The league is shot to national BFTA rules. .
