This match is a lost brass match as a matter of efficiency. All competitors are expected to unbag and holster at one of the clearly marked safe areas (located at each end of the range) each morning before the start of the match. There will be no bagging and unbagging at the line. Unloading area for CHL holders is at the Chronograph stage and under the supervision of a range officer.

On, Saturday, competitors may enter or move through a course of fire with prior approval of a Range Officer assigned to that course of fire or the Range Master, any other day with approval from the Range Master or Match Director. May not be on the stages when another squad is preparing to shoot or are shooting that stage.

Squadding
We are planning on 14 squads with only 12 Competitors per squad. Squadding will be Friday OR Saturday Schedule shooting all stages on each day. (With 3 Competitor Squads (36 slots) on Friday for shoot all stage in one day.) 

There will be only a VERY LIMITED number of shoot thorough passes and you better have a GREAT SOB STORY to get one.  We will be utilizing the SELF SQUADDING feature on practiscore.com web site.

Squadding is first come, first serve We will have a waiting list after the match fills the particular shooting schedules If your entry clears the wait list, we cannot guarantee that we can place you in a particular squad or with your buddies, so please be sure you want to be wait listed for a session.

Changing Divisions

The divisions will be locked on May 15 and no changes allowed after that point . We will also run the classification update from USPSA after this date and any changes will be in affect for the match. We would strongly advise that you DO NOT change your division after May 1st. Due to the fact that at this point we figure how many trophies we need to order for what Class/ Division and we would like to have ALL the trophies on hand at the awards. It throws off the count when folks move from division to division.

CHRONOGRAPH...

The chronograph is scheduled like a regular stage. Report to the chronograph with the rest of your squad as indicated in the squadding schedule.(after Stage 12) Expect ammunition to be tested at least twice, once when you report to the chronograph, and once by random sampling. If you are randomly selected to be retested, you must report to the chronograph at that time. Ammunition must make declared power factor at all times during the match. If you fail to report to the chronograph for the scheduled test or after a random sampling, your scores will all be recorded as scoring minor.

At the chronograph station, do not handle your gun until instructed by the CRO. You will be directed to place your unloaded gun on the shooting bench, slide locked back (if possible), muzzle pointed down range. The CRO may require that several fouling rounds supplied by you be fired into the berm by the CRO running the chrono before actual chronographing begins. Once the CRO begins chronographing your ammo, you may not add, adjust, or alter anything on your gun until after chronographing is finished. If the chronographer notices your gun does not meet safety criteria (inoperable safety, doubling, etc.), the Range Master will be called and you will not be permitted to continue in the match until the gun is rechecked and proven safe.

DQ Policy

It is unfortunate when we have DQ's, but they do happen and it is always the competitor that is in control of this. The policy of the Double Tap Championship Committee is that the prize table, although conducted as a raffle, is part of the the match and if you are DQed from the match, then you are also DQed from winning anything from the prize table. Also If you pay your entry and for some reason can not make it to the Match and forfeit your entry, (After the above refund deadline) you also forfeit your ability to win anything at the prize table. Safety violations and Match DQ's apply to side shoots, vendor tent, parking areas, as well as the match stages.

(All gun , presses. and frames must go thorough our FFL dealer to be claimed, No exceptions). We will announce which prize we are drawing for then draw a BLUE ticket from the bucket in front of that prize and that person will win the announced prize, Where there is several of the same prizes we will draw several tickets and call out ALL the names. Again You may only win once.

We will draw from all the buckets that have a ticket in them. When we have finished drawing from buckets that have tickets placed in them, we will than start wIth the Awards Ceremonies. If you won your division and have also won off the prize table you will have to make a choice of which Prize you would like to keep. (You may only win one prize.) The prize you don't keep will go back on the prize table in place of the prize you kept and we will draw a name from that bucket for that Prize.

We will than start the Second Chance round of the raffle. We will have a random order list that we will read the names for the second chance raffle When your name is called you will have a choice of anything that is left on the prize table. We will call out 5 names at a time and give you about 5 minutes to make a selection and then will call another 5 names.

We will NOT wait for you to pick a prize before we call the next person to the table, so decide quickly what you want. We will NOT allow you to pick up a prize and hold it and still browse the table.
