Each week, each team is paired with another team with a near equal skill level.

Each athlete fires 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.
