Hosting an LMC Championship Match
The Lapua Monarch Cup (LMC) has continued to positively evolve from its delayed start in 2022 through our last 2023 Lapua Monarch Cup Series Match in Saltillo, Mexico. The LMC Board of Directors (LMCB) will also take further steps to continuously improve our LMC Championship Series in the years to come.
For example, the LMCB has taken the following (2) actions to enhance the LMC to further fulfill our Vision & Mission Statements:
- Conducting an LMC Survey in Q4 2023 among the LMC attendees from our Mexico, Canada and USA silhouette shooting community. This feedback will be used to improve our format for the future LMC Championship Series.
- Formalizing a LMC Match Series Proposal Solicitation process in 2024 for silhouette clubs that desired to host a LMC Series Match to be utilized in the selection of future LMC Series Match Hosts in the years ahead.
For any Mexico, Canada and USA Silhouette Clubs wishing to host a future LMC Series Match, please use the LMC Match Series Proposal Solicitation documents linked below to submit your proposal by OCTOBER 15 of the previous year.
The LMC board will have the final word to approve or disapprove the hosting of a major match.
