World Cup Final
The World Cup Final in rifle and pistol is often, but not always, held in Munich in the end of August. The location and date of the World Cup Final in shotgun are more flexible. To the Final, the following shooters are qualified:
- The last Olympic or World champion.
- The last World Cup Final winner.
- The eight shooters that have made the best performances at a single World Cup competition during the year. For rating the performances, a special score system is used, where both the rank achieved in the competition and the score in the qualification round count.

Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or final:
“Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style—but a particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated, the “off,” of things-being-what-they-are-not.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“In poorer lands
No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Only an attitude remains:
Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
