of the Range Master. The plastic covers will be removed when the rain stops only by order of

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

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, failing

walk-through will be given, followed by a three-minute inspection and question period.

Shooters at their scheduled stage may negotiate obstacles only during the three-minute

inspection period. The on-deck competitor only may additionally 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 or getting ready to begin it. Do

not operate any of the moving targets or props that activate such movers. If the RO staff is

present on a stage, please extend to them the professional courtesy of asking before inspecting

the course of fire.
