9.7Score Sheets
The RO must enter all information on the competitor’s score sheet or the electronic scoring device. If using paper score sheets, the RO must affirm the score with initials or signature, then the competitor must add his own initials or signature. If using electronic scoring devices, touching “review” represents affirmation by the RO, and touching “approve” represents affirmation by the competitor.
If corrections to the score sheet are required, these will be clearly entered onto the original and other copies of the competitor’s score sheets. Changes and corrections must be logged by the electronic scoring system in use at the match. The competitor and the Range Officer should affirm any corrections. Corrections are defined as modifications to the score sheet before the RO and competitor sign off on the score sheet.
a competitor refuse to sign or initial a score sheet, or scoring device for any reason, the matter must be referred to the Range Master. If the Range Master is satisfied that the has been conducted and scored correctly the unsigned score sheet will be submitted as normal for inclusion in the match scores. The Range Master may touch “approve” to submit the score if necessary.
When a score has been affirmed by both the competitor and Range Officer, the score (whether on paper or electronic device) is considered conclusive evidence that the time, scores and penalties as recorded are accurate and uncontested. The score (whether on paper or electronic device) is deemed to be definitive. It may only be changed to add penalties under Rule 8.6.2, or to correct arithmetical errors, or by mutual consent of the competitor and the originating Range Officer, or due to an arbitration decision. Changes are defined as modifications to the score sheet after both parties have signed off on the score sheet.
If a score sheet or scoring device is found to have insufficient or excess entries, or if the time has not been recorded on the score sheet or device, the competitor will be required to reshoot the .
In the event that a reshoot is not possible or permissible for any reason, the following actions will prevail:
9.7.6.1 If the time is missing, the competitor will receive a zero score for the .
9.7.6.2 If insufficient hits or misses have been recorded on the score sheet, the hits and misses which have been recorded will be deemed complete and conclusive. Any missing scores should be recorded in the scoring tally as a no-penalty-miss which does not add or remove points from the competitors score.
9.7.6.3 If excessive hits or misses have been recorded on the score sheet, the highest value scoring hits recorded will be used.
9.7.6.4 Procedural penalties recorded on the score sheet will be deemed complete and conclusive, except where Rule 8.6.2 applies.
9.7.6.5 If the identity of the competitor is missing from a score sheet, it must be referred to the Range Master, who must take whatever action he deems necessary to rectify the situation.
In the event that an original score sheet is lost or otherwise unavailable, the competitor’s duplicate copy, or any other written or electronic record acceptable to the Range Master, will be used. If the competitor’s copy, or any other written or electronic record, is unavailable, or is deemed by the Range Master to be insufficiently legible the competitor will be required to reshoot the . If the Range Master deems that a reshoot is not possible for any reason, the competitor will incur a zero time and score for the affected course of fire.
