9.8Scoring Responsibility

Each competitor is responsible to maintain an accurate record of their scores to verify the results posted by the Stats Officer.

After all competitors have completed a match; the provisional stage results should be published and posted in a conspicuous place, either at the shooting range or electronically, by the Stats Officer for the purpose of verification by competitors.

If a competitor detects an error in the provisional results at the end of the match, they must file an appeal with the Stats Officer not later than 1 hour after the results are posted. At Level I and Level II matches only, providing scores have been made available to all competitors on a regular basis throughout the match (e.g., electronic posting), this one-hour review period may be waived by a majority vote of the competitors present. At Level III matches only, the Match Director may set the review period time to less than 1 hour, providing scores have been made available to all competitors on a regular basis throughout the match (e.g. electronic posting). The reduced time period must be published in advance in match literature or by way of a notice via electronic communications or posted in a conspicuous place at the shooting range. If the appeal is not filed within the time limit, the posted scores will stand, and the appeal will be dismissed.

Competitors who are scheduled (or otherwise authorized by a Match Director) to complete all courses of fire in a match in a period of time less than the full duration of the match (e.g. 1 day format in a 3-day match etc.), are required to check their provisional match results in accordance with the special procedures and time limits specified by the Match Director (e.g. via a website), failing which scoring appeals will not be accepted. The relevant procedure must be published in advance in match literature and/or by way of a notice posted in a conspicuous place at the shooting range prior to commencement of the match (also see Section 6.5).
