SCORING: All scoring will be done on the line. You will be scoring the

a competitor from the same team or department. Do not be intimidated if you
are not familiar with the scoring system. There will be range officers on
the line. Part of their job is to answer questions and assist with scoring.
If you need help - please ask a range officer for assistance.
Score the target, mark the number of hits in the proper column of the
scorecard (make sure the number of hits equals the "must total" listed
at
the bottom of the hits column), sign the card and return it to the
appropriate competitor. It is not necessary to compute the score. The
score will be calculated by the stat officer and then recorded on the
scoreboard.
When you receive your scorecard from the scorer, confirm that the scorecard
is correct and sign it. By signing the scorecard you are agreeing with the
number of hits marked by the scorer.
If the scorer and shooter cannot agree with the value of a hit, the shooter
may challenge the score by notifying the head referee and paying a $3.00
fee. If the shooter wins the challenge the $3.00 fee will be returned. The
decision of the referee is final.
Scores will be final, thirty minutes after they are all posted on the
scoreboard. Any discrepancy must be brought to the attention of the head
referee at that time.
INSUFFICIENT, EXCESSIVE

Competitors are responsible for
being familiar with the courses of fire.
¬ Targets with insufficient hits will be scored "as is" with the
insufficient hit being scored as a miss.
¬ Except for a crossfire by another competitor, excessive hits will be
scored by the lowest value of the number of hits required for that string of
fire.
¬ Targets with excessive hits due to a crossfire from another competitor
will receive the highest value of the number of hits required for that
string of fire; UNLESS, it can be determined by the head referee that the
hits can be distinguished (e.g. caliber, bullet hole, etc.). In any case,
the shooter with insufficient hits will be marked with a miss for each
insufficient hit on his/her target. The decision of the referee is final.
