• The range will be a cold range unless otherwise specified.

Other Key Points:

• If you drop equipment during an event, you must recover it prior to finishing the event.
• If a judge or event manager sees anything attached to a weapon system that appears to be non standard, non tactical or not in the spirit of the tactical competition, they may require the team member to remove it or use a different weapon system.
• Snipers rifles should have a sling. Bipods are optional.
• During competition events, teams can use alternate or extra team member during that event as they see fit.
• If you wish to protest an event, do so then and there. A judge will be stationed at each event. Their word is final. Remember, two unfounded protests and the second one will disqualify your team from the last event protested.
• Two times will be kept for each event. The team will be given the faster time of the two stop watches.
• A team member will sign the score sheet prior to leaving event.
• Scores will be posted at the end of the day at the team leaders meeting.
