6.5General Principles – Competition Divisions
All competitors compete for overall placement in the match. In addition to overall placement, competitors may also compete for Division-specific awards based on equipment type.
Equipment requirements for the SCSA shall be governed by the respective rules and equipment criteria regarding firearm and holster configurations and rule interpretations. (Also see Division requirements in Appendix D)
Failure to meet the appropriate SCSA rules and equipment criteria will disqualify the competitor from Division-specific award consideration. The competitor will remain eligible for overall placement awards.
A competitor whose equipment fails to meet Division-specific equipment requirements may be moved into another Division in which their equipment qualifies, at the Range Master’s discretion (see rule 6.3.1).
In the event that the optic falls off the firearm in any division that requires an optic, it shall be treated as competitor equipment malfunction and will not warrant a move to another division. The optic must be mounted to the firearm at the start of the course of fire and may not be deliberately removed by the competitor during the course of fire. All safety rules apply.
Binary Trigger, Forced Reset Trigger, or any trigger systems that allow one round to be fired upon pulling the trigger and another on releasing the trigger use is prohibited. Use of bump fire stocks or mechanisms are prohibited.
