Thread: NZ Mountain Challenge.

Good to hear, I am trying to source a couple of light units out of the states myself.

Because we accept that not everyone is experienced in spotting long range shooting and hits on steel targets at extended distances we typically have a very simple policy. If the hit/miss is disputed then the competitor or spotter marks the score as "Disputed" and then they continue with the event. The competitor brings the disputed score to the Chief RO and it becomes the ROs job to determine the action. If the competitors placing or score is significantly affected by the disputed score then the RO may decide that a stage re-shoot is required. The competitor can only re-shoot a stage at the end of the day (i.e. conditions and wind may have completely changed) and we may transport them to the stage instead of requiring them to walk the course again.

If the competitor does not bring a disputed score to the attention of the Chief RO then it will automatically be recorded as a miss when the score cards are tallied up at the end of the day. We tell competitors that they should take reasonable steps to ensure their score card is filled out correctly at the stage.

We also tell them that all bribes will be accepted but the result of a bribe is not guaranteed
Funnily enough I have never had to have a competitor reshoot a stage and they typically get the benefit of the doubt.
