Det har hänt en hel del i regelverket sedan årsskiftet. Vi har blivit av med en division (Modified) och fått en annan (Classic Division). Vi har också fått en hel del klargöranden och även fått i mitt tycke bättre möjligheter att skapa varierande stationer på tävlingarna. Nedan följer en kanske inte komplett, men en överblick på de ändringar i regelverket som trädde ikraft 1:a januari:
Nyheter/ändringar i korthet:
2.2.1.2: You cannot take short cuts across fault lines that are meant to designate a passageway – 1 procedural per shot after shortcut.
2.2.7: A platform may be asked for if ports not at a reachable height for a competitor.
4.3.2.2: If using mini and full sized poppers the minis must be at least 2 meters rearward of the furtherest full sized ones.
6.2.3: Confirmation that a Gun-Check is a service to a competitor, not a definitive Get Out Of Jail Free card!
6.4.2.1: Further clarification of Team eligibility.
8.1.3.1: When WSB requires placing firearm on a table it cannot be propped up by any external thing
8.5.1.1: Though this has not changed, movement is defined a taking more a single step, not 2 steps as I often hear.
8.6.2: A clear distinction between Assistance and Interference
8.7.1: You cannot take sight pictures or dry fire prior to start signal – warning first time, then procedurals.
9.1.4.2: If you self stop during a COF because you think targets have not been patched – no reshoot – we have always enforced it but some shooters did not know about is so there is now a rule.
9.2: No more Virginia count, Fixed Time or Standard Exercises
9.7.8: Hands-off signed score sheets, particularly those retained at stages
9.9: If the highest scoring area is visible on a target that is moving or obscured by moving barriers are not disappearing and incur penalties – read it as it says lot more.
10.2.8: If the COF stipulates strong of weak hand only you will get a penalty for ”scooping” the gun with the other hand off the table at a table start
10.2.8.2: Procedural for using ground, barricade or other prop to increase stability in weak/strong hand only COF
10.2.11: Procedurals for shooting over a barrier 1.8 meters high or greater – yep, it happens!
10.4.3: Tightens up AD on load – no longer includes ‘while preparing to’
App A2: Super Seniors automatically transferred to Senior if insufficient SS registered
App C1: A significant change is that Calibration Ammo must achieve between 120-125 Power Factor. This replaces the previous +/- 5% of the 125PF floor, which meant that up to 131.25PF could be used.
Tack till den som skrev ihop denna summering!
