In each game the teams compete in what is known as a Three-Position Air Rifle match modeled after Olympic Rifle competitions but adapted to high school age athletes.

Each athlete will shoot 10 shots in three different shooting positions, prone, standing, and kneeling. Each shot is worth a maximum of 10.9 points. The sum of points scored in the 30 shots is the athlete's total. The team score is comprised of the best four athletes from each team.
