FITAV medals, prize money, and honorary awards are up for grabs. The competition will also inaugurate the Italian Club Team Championship, with teams composed of six shooters, at least two of whom must belong to a qualification.
Compak Sporting

The competition, which will earn valuable points for the 2026 Ranking and the Top Ranking Jump-Off, will take place at the TAV Olimpico Foligno (PG) with 100 clays on Saturday and 100 clays on Sunday. In the event of a tie for the top three positions in each Category and Qualification, a five-clay mini-jump-off will proceed, which will be repeated if the tie remains.
