 There's 164 non-distinguished competitors in the Far East matches this year. If they are the top 10 percent, then they will receive individual medals for rifle or for pistol. The medals that we wear are in place of our qualification badges. Once you earn a medal, then you're also invited to come out to Marine Corps championships. If you're competing against the best from Far East, Pacific, Western and Eastern matches, and the Marine Corps shooting team to see who the best of the best is for that year in the Marine Corps.
