[QUOTE="jtischauser, post: 1104713, member: 7006"] I thought I woudl post up some more IDPA rules as I think al of us have a little to learn in that category. I am pretty sure David got two 5 second penalties for Hits on No Shoot Targets. If those were on the same no shoot a target it should have only been one 5 second penalty and he would have moved up one spot in the standings. The FTN is an interesting penalty because it is different than the USPSA or 3 gun rules we see here at the OKC matches. [B]PC 1. Failure To Do Right (FTDR):[/B] A. Adds twenty (20) seconds to total score. B. Is assessed for any attempt to circumvent or compromise the spirit or rationale of any stage by the use of inappropriate devices, equipment or techniques. C. Is assessed for unsportsmanlike conduct, unfair actions, or the use of illegal equipment, which, in the opinion of the MD, tends to make a travesty of the defensive shooting sport. This will result in an FTDR or DQ from the entire match at the discretion of the MD. Repeated offenses reported to the AC or HQ can result in having membership revoked. D. Examples: (Non-inclusive list) 1. Firing extra rounds so that you may reload at a more convenient time. 2. Purposely committing a procedural error because your score will be better even with the penalty 3. Not reloading to fire one more round because your score will be better even with the miss. [B]PP 1. Procedural Error (PE):[/B] A. Adds three (3) seconds per infraction. B. Is assessed when the competitor does not follow the procedures set forth in the CoF description or when a competitor breaks a competition rule. Only one (1) PE is assessed for each type of infraction in a string of fire. If the shooter does more than one type of infraction, such as using the wrong specified hand AND fire an incorrect number of shots, a separate PE is assessed for each type of infraction. Examples: a. The competitors foot touches the ground beyond the side of the barricade on Stage 3 of the Classifier. One (1) PE is assessed regardless of the number of shots fired. b. The competitor fails to retain ammo when a tacload/RWR is specified. (See Appendix TWO-Approved IDPA Reloads-Malfunction Clearing Exception.) c. The competitor fails to perform a reload when specified in a CoF. d. The competitor shoots from a stationary position when the CoF specifies shots are to be fired while moving. One PE is assessed regardless of the number of shots fired. e. The competitor fires a double tap which is two (2) rapid consecutive shots on the same target when the CoF specifies that targets are to be engaged with one shot each, and then re-engaged for a total of two (2) hits per target. f. The competitor uses both hands when the CoF specifies that the shots are to be fired strong-hand only or weakhand only. g. The competitor shoots targets out of tactical sequence. h. The competitor prematurely starts. An example of this would be moving the shooting hand toward the gun between the standby command and the start signal. i. The competitor fires extra shots on Limited Vickers scored stages. Tape over one (1) of the highest scoring hits for each extra shot fired and assess one (1) procedural penalty per string of fire regardless of the number of extra shots fired. j. The competitor airguns and/or takes a sight picture. k. The competitor makes improper use of cover. (See glossary for definition of cover.) l. The competitor does not respond to muzzle or finger commands. m. The competitor does not follow CoF rules as required. n. Any time a loaded ammunition feeding device (magazine, speedloader or full moon clip) is dropped from the carrier during a course of fire. [B]PP 2. Hits on a Non-Threat Target (HNT):[/B] A. Will result in a single five (5) second penalty assessed per non-threat target hit. If the competitor has more than one hit on a particular non-threat target, ONLY a single five (5) second penalty will be assessed for that target. However, multiple non-threat targets hit will incur one (1) penalty for each target. [B]PP 3. Failure-to-Neutralize (FTN):[/B] A. Will add five (5) seconds per infraction. This penalty applies to any target that does not have at least one (1) four zone (minus 1) or higher value hit. See Appendix NINETarget-Scoring Zones for further clarification. Failure to neutralize penalties ONLY applies when standard Vickers Count scoring is used and the target(s) do not completely disappear. B. Does NOT apply to Limited Vickers scoring or to permanently disappearing targets. [/QUOTE]
