IMPORTANT COMPETITOR NOTICE

No early stage walk-throughs

Physical stages open for your squad’s five-minute walkthrough after its scheduled stage brief. No day-before or morning-of inspections.

Read the inspection policy

Competitors may not walk the physical stages the day before or the morning of the match. Your squad’s stage brief is followed by a five-minute walk-through and question period, initiated by match officials.

The entire squad must be assembled at its scheduled time for the stage brief and inspection period.
Shooters at their scheduled stage may negotiate obstacles only during the five-minute walk-through. The posted exception allows only the on-deck competitor to negotiate obstacles while the previous competitor’s targets are being scored.
Competitors may not activate or touch stage props until actively engaging targets to complete the stage.
Competitors not actively assigned to a stage may spectate only from the designated spectator area.

Matchbook inspection policy, page 7. Follow match officials’ instructions for on-site inspection.

Before match day

Read the matchbook, find your squad’s starting stages, and plan your match day.
