F-Class World Championships: Team USA Wins F-TR Team Titles, Australia Wins F-Open Team Championship
The 2013 F-Class World Championships are in the history books. Congratulations to Australia, winner of the 8-man F-Open Match (Farquharson Cup) and to the USA F-TR squad which captured both 8-person and 4-person F-TR team titles. Here’s a quick summary of the results (an in-depth report with more photos and videos is in the works).

Marty Lobert Explains How Australia Took the Title:
With his straight .284 Win, Marty Lobert shot 442-46V for Australia during the team championships, one of the highest scores among all F-Open shooters during Team Comps. Marty’s Australian team-mate, Cameron McEwan, had a 443-40X, high score for the match. Congrats to Cameron — great shooting!
Team Australia won the 8-man F-Open Championship with a 3490-339V tally. The USA 8-man F-Open team finished second with a 3475-308V team score. South Africa was third with 3445-267V, while the previous champion Great Britain Team finished fourth with 3427-261V. Team Spindle Shooters won the F-Open Rutland Cup for 4-man teams with a 1750-163V score, 10 points ahead of the 4-man Team USA squad coached by Emil Praslick (1740-169V).
In the F-TR Division, F-TR Team USA won both the 8-person F-TR Richardson Trophy Match (3412-261V) and the 4-person F-TR Rutland Cup Match (1689-130V). Canada’s 8-man F-TR team scored 3400-245V for second place in the 8-man F-TR competition, while Great Britain’s 8-man team tallied 3393-220V for third place. Notably, F-TR Team USA’s 8-man team score would have been good enough for fifth place in the F-Open Division. Yanks dominated the 4-man F-TR match, with Nik Taylor’s BNX/21st Century squad placing second (after F-TR Team USA), and the Michigan F-TR team (Barnhart/Litz) finishing third.

Well done to Australia and credit to all the Teams, both International and the large US roll up, who did the hard work and made the commitment to attend.
More equipment details would be interesting. I suspect it will be 7mms and March scopes in the Top 10?
Well, there’s always another World Championship coming along in 4 years.

Marty’s excellent score was second best of the eight man national teams. David Mann shot a 442-48 in the four man Rutland Cup. Good job, David!
Steve: You make a good point. Also some double-checking of the corrected score sheet shows that Herbert Edwards of the USA F-Open Team scored a 442-50V, edging Marty by four Vs. Congrats to Herb!
And Australian Cameron McEwan shot a 443-40 in the 8 man teams – higher than all of them – according to the BERC site
CAMERON MCEWAN 75 11 74 4 70 2 219 17 75 12 74 7 75 4 224 23 443 40
Of course all these scores are tops.
Editor: Thanks for noting that. Cam is a friend of the site and we want to acknowledge his fine shooting. The text has been corrected.
