SIUS: The Silent Backbone Behind a Flawless Mavalankar Championship in Bhopal

The Mavalankar Championship 2025, hosted at the M.P. Shooting Academy, Bhopal, organized by M.P. State Rifle Association was a landmark in India’s national-level shooting circuit. Behind every perfect 10.9 and every nail-biting final stood an unsung hero — the SIUS electronic scoring system, the same technology trusted at the Olympic Games, ISSF World Cups, and World Championships.

Perfectly Managed Stalls and Seamless Event Flow

With multiple disciplines — air rifle, small-bore, prone, and 3P — running simultaneously across dozens of lanes, management could easily have been a logistical nightmare. Thanks to SIUS and MP State Rifle Association , each lane in Bhopal was electronically linked, ensuring:

• Instant detection and display of every shot.

• Seamless communication between firing points and the control room.

• On-schedule match turnover with minimal downtime.

This systemized structure allowed the Mavalankar Championship to accommodate record participation while maintaining world-class precision.

Shooter Data and Digital Transparency

The Mavalankar Championship’s official result sheets published by the NRAI show the depth of data captured by SIUS. Each shooter’s performance — broken down by six series of ten shots each, complete with totals and rankings — paints a transparent picture of performance consistency.

For example:

• In the 50 M Rifle Prone Mixed (NR) event, one top performer recorded scores of 88, 91, 93, 92, 92, 94, totaling 550.

• In the 50 M Rifle Prone (NR) Deaf Men’s category, a competitor from West Bengal scored 85, 90, 85, 87, 88, 88 — 523 total.

These figures — accurate to the decimal, timestamped, and instantly accessible — highlight why electronic scoring is indispensable for fair competition. Each data point, collected through SIUS, becomes part of a permanent digital archive — a database for coaches, federations, and performance analysts.

Hosted in Grand Style by the MP State Rifle Association

Credit also goes to the Madhya Pradesh State Rifle Association (MPSRA), whose meticulous planning and dedication transformed the M.P. Shooting Academy in Bhopal into a truly world-class venue.

From athlete logistics and range readiness to hospitality and coordination with technical teams, MPSRA delivered a flawlessly organized event that showcased the state’s commitment to shooting excellence. The association’s vision of aligning with Olympic-level infrastructure and technology set a benchmark for other states to emulate.

Adding to this success was the support and sponsorship from Tap Sports and Mahie Industries — two brands synonymous with innovation and performance in India’s shooting ecosystem.

Their involvement ensured:

• Smooth technical support and gear availability for participants.

• On-ground service counters and display stalls showcasing premium ISSF-compliant shooting kits.

• Engagement with young shooters through product demos and professional advice sessions.

This collaboration between MPSRA, Tap Sports, and Mahie Industries exemplifies how industry and federation partnerships can together uplift the sport — from grassroots shooters to elite performers.

SIUS: The Core of Precision and Fairness

Using SIUS, the entire event achieved a level of fairness and consistency that manual systems could never guarantee. Each athlete’s performance was measured identically, eliminating any scope for human bias or interpretation. The real-time digital feed allowed:

• Instant leaderboard updates during finals.

• Fair, transparent scoring that all shooters could trust.

• Accurate media reporting with verified scores from the system backend.

These features not only improved efficiency but also made the sport more engaging for spectators and media — helping shooting evolve into a more watchable, data-rich discipline.

Lasting Impact for Indian Shooting

The successful integration of SIUS in the Mavalankar Championship underscores India’s rapid movement toward global-level competition infrastructure. For athletes, it means training and competing on the same system they’ll face at the Olympics or ISSF World Cups.

For organizers, it’s a proof of concept — showing that India can host world-standard events with precision, fairness, and athlete-first design.

The Legacy

The 2025 Mavalankar Championship in Bhopal will be remembered not just for its medals, but for what it represented: technology, organization, and collaboration coming together to redefine the future of shooting in India.

With SIUS powering every lane, MPSRA leading from the front, Bhopal didn’t just host a championship — it built a new benchmark for national shooting excellence.
