Welcome Shooters, to the 2015 EGW USPSA Area 8 Championship Match!
Over the next four days some of the best practical shooters in the world will
be testing their skills on the stages provided by our outstanding volunteer
staff. We hope you will find them to be both demanding and enjoyable. Please
have fun, maintain safety and display good sportsmanship.
As you travel the bays please notice our sponsors. These vendors and
businesses have made a commitment to sponsor this match and others like it.
Please remember, when you purchase products and services from our
sponsors, you are not only expressing your appreciation for their support, you
are also helping them to support our future matches. Please take the time to
say “thank you” when you purchase from them.
This match would simply not be possible without the generous contributions
of the staff. Without these fine folks this weekend would simply not exist.
From stage design, application sorting, to pounding nails, hundreds of hours
of time and effort has gone into this Championship match. Please make an
effort to thank the staff at every opportunity.
Once again, I want to personally thank our Match Director, Chris “Crack
Daddy” Viverette, for stepping up to the plate. Your counsel, experience and
friendship are greatly appreciated. I promise….this is the last one!
From the entire staff - We wish you the best of luck! Please enjoy the match.

match disqualification (see Rules 10.5.1 & 10.5.12).
Do not climb on the berms or cross any safety line. Children and pets should be controlled at all
times for their personal safety.
All competitors must wear eye and hearing protection while on the line. Eye protection is
required to be worn by everyone while on the range. Spectators are strongly encouraged to

Procedures and Protocol

site at the conclusion of the match.

Handgun Competition Rules February 2014 USPSA Edition.
Popper Calibration: Any challenge to a score or penalty must be appealed to the Range Officer
by the competitor (or his delegate) prior to the subject target being painted, patched, or reset,
failing which such challenges will not be accepted.
Match Scoring: If you have a question regarding your posted score, recheck your score sheet. If
you still think there is a problem, contact the Chief Stats Officer. We will do everything humanly
possible to avoid errors, but YOU are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of your score.
Please check posted scores before departing the range.
Arbitration Requests: The arbitration fee is $100. Ask the CRO for an Arbitration Request Form
and ask for assistance in retaining evidence. Complete and return the form within one hour of
the time noted on the score sheet, together with the arbitration fee, to the Range Master.
Preparation: Shooters are expected to come to the line with their gun holstered and
ammunition in place when it is your time to shoot.
Rain Covers: Paper targets will be covered with transparent plastic if there is rain only by order
of the Range Master. The plastic covers will be removed when the rain stops only by order of
the Range Master.
Lost Brass: As a matter of efficiency, all brass collected from the range is deposited in the
designated range pail. Brass is distributed to the range officers at the conclusion of the match in
consideration for their hard work.
Scheduling: Competitors must compete for score according to the published match and squad
schedule. A competitor who is not present at the scheduled time and date for any stage may
not attempt to shoot the stage without the prior approval of the Match Director. If the
competitor is not at the squad stage briefing for that stage the competitor will receive a zero

the CRO approves, the squad will be allowed to shoot ahead of schedule only on the scheduled
date.

through will be given, followed by a five‐minute inspection and question period. Shooters at
their scheduled stage may negotiate obstacles only during the five‐minute inspection period.
The on‐deck competitor may negotiate obstacles while the previous competitor’s targets are
being scored. Early inspection of a stage is permitted by competitors only if a squad is not
currently on the course of fire and if permission is granted by staff. Competitors are not
authorized to activate or touch stage props until actively engaging targets to complete the
stage.
