"Penalties are not awarded in arrears" clarification


Recommended Posts

Regarding the point at which it is "too late" to award penalties under the following rules:

Quote

The use or presence of any of the listed outlawed items, equipment, or the use of a non-SASS legal firearm will result in a Stage Disqualification penalty for each stage the illegal item(s) is used.

Penalties are not awarded in arrears but should be corrected before the competitor shoots the next stage.

SHB p.4

Quote

The use of a non-SASS legal firearm results in a Stage Disqualification (SDQ) for each stage the illegal firearm is used. Penalties for illegal equipment/items and firearms are not awarded in arrears but should be corrected before the competitor shoots the next stage.

SHB p.32

 
ROC clarification
The highlighted sections in the above quoted rules mean that penalties for those violations may not be assessed retroactively to any previous stages.
ALSO:
If illegal items/equipment have not been noticed by the time the shooter has left the firing line after shooting a stage,
it is too late to assess any penalties for that particular stage.
Corrections must then be made before shooting the next stage.
Same applies to any failure to have the required items for a specific category (e.g. male BW shooter with no spurs).
Any violations noticed after the shooter has cleared all firearms and left the unloading table may not be penalized.
