Match Scoring: If you have a question regarding your posted score, recheck your score sheet. If you still think there is a problem, contact the Chief Stats Officer. We will do everything humanly possible to avoid errors, but YOU are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of your score. Please check posted scores before departing the range.

Preparation: Shooters are expected to come to the line with their gun holstered and ammunition in place when it is your time to shoot.
Rain Covers: Paper targets will be covered with transparent plastic if there is rain only by order of the Range Master. The plastic covers will be removed when the rain stops only by order of the Range Master.
Lost Brass: As a matter of efficiency, all brass collected from the range is deposited in the designated range pail. Brass is distributed to the range officers at the conclusion of the match in consideration for their hard work.
Scheduling: Competitors must compete for score according to the published match and squad schedule. A competitor who is not present at the scheduled time and date for any stage may not attempt to shoot the stage without the prior approval of the Match Director. If the competitor is not at the squad stage briefing for that stage the competitor will receive a zero score. (6.5.1). On occasion, stages will clear squads early. If your entire squad is available and the CRO approves, the squad will be allowed to shoot ahead of schedule only on the scheduled date.

Shooters at their scheduled stage may negotiate obstacles only during the five‐minute inspection period. The on‐deck competitor may negotiate obstacles while the previous competitor’s targets are being scored. Early inspection of a stage is permitted by competitors only if a squad is not currently on the course of fire and if permission is granted by staff.
