6.5Competitor Scheduling and Squadding

Competitors must compete for score according to the published match and squadding schedule. A competitor who is not present at the scheduled time and date for any stage may not attempt that stage without the prior approval of the Match Director or Range Master, failing which the competitor’s score for that stage will be zero.

Range Officials, match sponsors and other persons may compete for score in a “pre-match,” subject to the prior approval of the Match Director. Competitors in the main match must not be restricted from viewing the pre- match. Scores attained in the “pre-match” may, at the discretion of the Match Director, be included in the overall match results provided the dates of the “pre-match” are published in the official match schedule.

A match, tournament or league will be deemed to have started on the first day that competitors (including those specified above) shoot for score and will be deemed to have ended when the results have been declared final by the Match Director.
