No men’s only categories

[Abe E.S. Corpus]

I don’t think I have ever heard CAS awards announced as (for example) “Men’s Duelist”.  Of course not, because there are no men’s only categories.

The WBAS handbook has always, to my knowledge, included the same language:  There are no men’s only categories.

Despite that I often see category signup sheets, scoresheets and awards for “Men’s Modern” and the like.  I just saw a photo of buckles to be awarded at the SE Regionals, same thing.

If an accomplished lady shooter chose to compete in a base category and won, would she want an award with that label.

It’s just inconsistent with the SHB that we say we follow.
