New Delhi, May 18 -- Shooting will join India's sports leagues this year. The inaugural edition of Shooting League of India (SLI) will be held from November 20 to December 2 with eight teams, National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Kalikesh Singh Deo said on Saturday. The teams will be divided into two pools for the league stage with the top two teams advancing to the knockouts. "All our partners and members have been signed on or agreed upon; we are in the process of registering various structures required for the governance of the league. NRAI will incubate the league but it will be run by professionals," Deo said. The first edition is likely be held in Delhi's Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range. It will feature all six Olympic disciplines - 10m air rifle, 10m air pistol, 25m sports pistol, 50m 3 Positions, trap and skeet. There will be six men and women in each team with a maximum of four foreigners. They will be grouped in four tiers - elite champions, world elite, national champions, and junior and youth champions - to lend balance. "ISSF has sanctioned a window from November 20 for 11-12 days," Deo added. Competitions will be in the mixed-team format. Efforts are on "to make the league palatable for the broadcasters" and NRAI is in touch with OTT platforms for a wider reach. Over 70 domestic and 40 international shooters have already signed up, Deo said. A minimum of two Indian juniors (U-21) must be in the team, which is likely to be picked in an auction. The spending cap per team will be Rs.1.20 crore....
