SCORING

  • Steel target must be downed to be scored as a hit. Steel targets that turn due to an edge hit but remains on the target stand will not be scored as a hit of a stage failure.
  • Static steel targets must have a visible hit to be scored as a downed target. All static steel targets will be painted before each run.
  • Paper targets will require 1 A-Zone hits or two hits anywhere inside the scoring perforation to be scored as a downed target.
  • The RAW SCORE is the number of targets down on a stage after the competitor has fired his or her last shot.
  • The competitor’s STAGE SCORE is the RAW SCORE minus any applicable penalties.
  • The competitor’s MATCH SCORE is the combined total of all STAGE SCORES.
  • The competitor with the highest MATCH SCORE is the winner.
  • In the event of a MATCH SCORE tie, the fastest total time will determine the winner.

MISCELLANEOUS

  • Safety regulations will be based on the most current USPSA Rule Book.
  • Since there is no minimum power factor, steel that is left standing will not count for RAW SCORE whether it was hit or not.
  • In the event of natural acts of weather and the steel falls from high winds and not from being shot during a competitor shooting a stage, the competitor is required to reshoot the stage.
  • No part of the competitor’s feet may touch the ground outside of the shooting area to be considered “inside the shooting area”.
  • Stages that have a caution tape to separate arrays of steel will be treated as walls; competitors may not shoot under, over or through caution tape.
  • All walls go from ground to infinity, unless otherwise stated in the stage walkthrough.

PRO vs AM

  • Shooters will either register as a PRO (Professional) or AM (Amatuer).
  • It’s up to the shooter to register as a PRO or AM, but the common accepted guidelines for a PRO is any shooter who is a sponsored shooter or represents a company, or any shooter who regularly finishes on the top 10 percent of a major match.
