U.S. Open Criteria / Bidding
The U.S. Open is an NSCA shoot which rotates location from year to year to allow shooters regionally an opportunity to participate. Historically, the normal rotation has been East, West, and then Central U.S. If no qualified club within the respective region has submitted a bid for a particular year, the shoot may be awarded to a qualified club outside the normal rotation sequence. Starting with the 2024 U.S. Open, there will no longer be any geographical location restrictions. Bidding will be open to any NSCA club in the U.S.
The criteria for clubs bidding to host the U.S. Open are defined by the NSCA Executive Council. They are reviewed annually at the Executive Council meeting held during the National Championship in October.
