How to split up a match

[Snozzberries]

I'm currently participating in a 50-yard .22lr match. We shoot 2 of the USBR targets. http://americantargetcompany.com/USBR.asp

Unfortunately, it's become quite popular. We only have 18 benches, but now there are more than 18 shooters. So we are trying to figure out how to split it up.

Right now there are 2 classes, "Sporter" (less than $700 rifles), and "Match" (Anschutz).

There are several ideas being tossed around.

1. Split the group up Sporters/Match. Sporters shoot their 2 targets, then Match shoot their 2.
2. Or Sporter Target 1, Match Target 1, Sporter Target 2, Match Target 2.
3. Or take the entire group and split it up.

What do most places do?

Draw bench and relay #.
The final score sheet divides up the classes.

If you try to split by classes somebody will end up just HAVING to shoot in the wrong relay anyway.

Relay 1 both targets then relay 2 both targets works nice if you can manage people choosing a relay in advance. You can even leave a time gap and have a second relay start time. That does require the organizer(s) to cover the entire time.

Otherwise interleave the targets.
