- 2008 ISSF World Cup Final (shotgun)
The 2008 ISSF World Cup Final in shotgun events was held on 27–30 September in
Minsk ,Belarus . It was the last major worldwide shotgun competition in 2008, and the next-to-last part of the2008 ISSF World Cup , to be concluded with the rifle and pistol finals in Bangkok a month later.There were twelve spots in each of the five events. The defending champion from the 2007 World Cup Final and all medalists of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing qualified automatically for Minsk. The remaining eight qualified through a special point-awarding system based on their best performance during the World Cup season, skipping past automatic qualifiers. Not counting the defending champion and the Olympic medalists, there was a maximum of two shooters per event from the same country. Belarus, being the host country, also were allowed to participate with one shooter.
The qualification system awarded a win with 15 points, a silver medal with 10, a bronze medal with 8, a fourth place with 5, a fifth with 4, a sixth with 3, a seventh with 2 and an eighth place with 1 point. It also gave out points for qualification scores within a certain range from the current world record: from 1 point for fourteen hits off the record, to 15 points for equalling or raising it.
