10.1.3.2. one or more targets on the shooting Stage have not been sealed or restored after the previous athlete, the judge must determine the possibility of accurate calculation of the results. In the presence of unnecessary scoring hits or contradictory free kicks, when the affiliation of such hits to the athlete is uncertain;

10.1.3.3. the adhesive or adhesive tape on the retreaded target accidentally fell off due to wind, powder gasses or other reasons, and the judge did not understand which hit belonged to the athlete.

10.1.4. An athlete who, on his own initiative, slows down or stops the Stage due to the fact that at his discretion one or more paper targets have not been restored, shall not have the right to shoot.

10.1.5. The credit zone of all credit and penalty cardboard targets is considered impenetrable.

10.1.6. If a projectile left a full-diameter hole in the scoring zone of one paper target and then hit credit zone of another paper target, then hitting the next target is not counted regardless of whether it is a credit or a penalty.

10.1.7. Shooting of a shooting Stage after its recovery is assigned to the athlete if:

10.1.7.1. the bullet left a hole of full diameter in the test area of the paper target, and then hit or knocked down a metal target, in which case the equipment on the Stage will be considered defective;

10.1.7.2. bullet left a full-diameter hole in the test area of the paper target, and then hit or hit a metal target, or hit a fragile target, or a target with an electronic hit indicator that activates other equipment Stages, the defeat of the following targets is considered as a malfunction of the equipment on the Stage;

10.1.7.3. a bullet or shotgun (in a shotgun competition) left a full-diameter hole in the test area of the paper target and then struck or knocked down a metal test target or a penalty target will be considered a malfunction of the Stage equipment.

10.1.8. Points or penalties, depending on the purpose of the target, are accrued if:

10.1.8.1. a bullet or cartridge hit the test area of a paper or metal target, and then hit the test area of another paper target, hitting the next paper target is credited;

10.1.8.2. a bullet hit the test area of a paper or metal target, and then hit another metal target (or hit its test area), the defeat of the next metal target is credited;

10.1.8.3. a bullet or cartridge (in a competition with a shotgun) hit the test area of a paper or metal target, and then knocked down another metal test target or a penalty target, the defeat of the next metal target is credited;

10.1.9. All decorations, walls, barriers, translucent mesh walls and other obstacles shall be considered as an impenetrable hard surface, unless they are marked in the written briefing before the Stage as a soft surface if:

10.1.9.1. a bullet or projectile left a hole of full diameter in the hard surface, and then hit any paper test or penalty target, the defeat of the paper target will not be counted. If it is impossible to determine which (which) hit on the test or penalty paper target occurred from a shot through the hard surface, when counting points on the test or penalty paper target will be excluded the appropriate number of maximum effective hits;

10.1.9.2. a bullet or projectile left a full-diameter hole in the hard surface and then struck or knocked down a metal target, or struck a fragile target, or a target with an electronic hit indicator that activates other Stage equipment is considered equipment failure.

10.1.11. In competitions with a shotgun fractions of paper targets are not counted.

10.2. Method of calculating the results

10.2.1. "Comstock" - is unlimited time, stopping with the last shot. The number of shots is not limited. The specified number of hits is counted.

The points scored by the athlete are calculated by adding the most effective hits from the estimated number per target, minus the penalties divided by the total time spent by the athlete on the shooting Stage (recorded to two decimal places), called "Hit factor". The athlete with the highest "Hit Factor" in this Stage is awarded the maximum possible number of points for this shooting Stage. Points of other athletes are calculated proportionally, based on the values of their "hit factors".

The results of the Stage should place the athletes in their class in descending order, in accordance with the individually scored points for the Stage, calculated to the nearest four decimal places.

The results of the competition must place the athletes in their class in descending order, in accordance with the individually scored points for the Stages, calculated to the nearest four decimal places.

10.2.2. "Vickers" - used in competitions using "practical" Stages. Unlimited shooting time is recorded after the last shot of the athlete. Unlimited number of shots. The number of test hits for each target is set.

Athlete's points are calculated by adding the actual time (up to hundredths of a second) and all fines imposed, which are also expressed in seconds. The athlete with the lowest amount of points on the Stage becomes the winner on the Stage. The athlete with the lowest amount of points (in seconds) becomes the winner of the competition. The places of other athletes in the competition (as well as in the Stage) are located in the increase of their final amounts (in seconds) relative to the result of the winner. In the future, the results of athletes can be listed as a percentage (in descending order) of the winner, giving the winner 100%.

Athlete's result in percent is calculated by the formula: C (%) = (Pp x 100%) / Pc, where C (%) is the athlete's result in percent, Pn is the winner's result in seconds, Pc is the athlete's result in seconds.

In the individual competition program, the winner is determined by the lowest result in seconds. In the team competition program, the winning team is determined by the lowest sum of results in seconds of the three team members based on their results in the individual program.

10.2.3. "Limited Vickers" - used in competitions using "practical" Stages. Unlimited shooting time is recorded after the last shot of the athlete. The number of shots has been determined. The number of test hits for each target is set. Determining the results of athletes is similar to the method of counting "Vickers".

10.2.4. "Mixed Vickers" - used in competitions using "mixed" Stages. A variant of the "Vickers" calculation method, in which penalty seconds are not accrued in case of hitting metal or fragile targets, in case of a single hit in the zone with the highest scores or in case of double hitting in the test zones remaining on a cardboard target of any type.

10.2.5. "Simplified Vickers" - used in competitions using "speed" Stages. Unlimited shooting time is recorded after the last shot of the athlete. Unlimited number of shots. The number of test hits for each target is set. Determining the results of athletes is similar to the method of counting "Vickers".

10.2.6. The results of the competition can be calculated both by age and gender, and without division into these groups. When determining the winner in the form of a program that takes into account certain groups by age and gender, his points and interest are indicated from the winner of the competition among all participants without division into gender and age groups.

10.3. Draw result

If there is no draw as a result of the competition, the relevant athletes will additionally shoot one or more shooting Stages, appointed or created by the director of the match, until the winner is determined. The results of the additional Stages will be used only for the final distribution of seats of the respective athletes. The number of points scored by them for the competition remains unchanged. In no case should the winner be determined by lot.

10.4. Calculation of points and fines

10.4.1. The number of points for hitting the scoring and penalty approved targets is determined in accordance with these Rules. 5 points are awarded for hitting fragile targets.

10.4.2. At competitions with a carbine, a pistol caliber carbine, a shotgun, it is recommended to score 10 points for each target (complex shot) for the defeat of disappearing metal and fragile targets.

10.4.3. In competitions with a carbine, a pistol caliber carbine, a shotgun for hitting metal and fragile targets, which are recognized as a difficult shot, 10 points can be awarded for each target.

10.4.4. In shotgun competitions only when using bullet cartridges in the case of disappearing paper targets, it is recommended to double the result of each test hit For paper targets, the defeat of which requires a complex shot, the result of each test shot can be doubled. In both cases, the described principles are applied to a maximum of 2 scoring hits on each target.

10.4.5. The number of targets described in paragraphs 10.4.2-10.4.4 of the Rules shall not exceed 10% of the total number of targets in the competition. The use of such targets is determined during the examination and approval of Stages and they must be clearly identified in a written briefing before the Stage.

10.4.6. In practical shooting competitions, with the exception of competitions using "applied" Stages, each hit that is visible in the scoring zone of a paper penalty target or a solid penalty target with an indication of defeat, is penalized by deducting 10 points. No more than 2 fines can be imposed on one penalty target.

10.4.7. In competitions, each hit that is visible in the scoring zone of the metal penalty target is penalized by deducting 10 points. No more than 2 penalties can be imposed on one penalty target, regardless of whether such target is falling or not.

In competitions with an air handgun and air carbine, each shot down solid penalty target is penalized by deducting 10 points.

In competitions, metal penalty targets must fall, fall over or hit the mechanism of the hit indication in order to be considered hit. Such a defeat is penalized by deducting 10 points.

10.4.8. Each miss is penalized by deducting 10 points, except for misses on disappearing targets, and for a handgun on paper targets in competitions with the use of "SOF type Stages" and on targets in competitions with the use of "speed Stages".

10.4.9. Holes on paper targets for "SOF type Stages" are calculated according to their values defined by these Rules.

10.4.10. For any test hit in the appropriate test area of the paper target for "SOF type Stages" (except the highest) until the end of the athlete is fined 1 s multiplied by the value of this test area.

10.4.11. For any credit hit in the scoring zone of the penalty paper target for "SOF type Stages" until the end of the athlete is fined 5 s (but not more than one penalty per target).

10.4.12. The Regulations on competitions with the use of "SOF type Stages" may not establish provisions to reduce the penalty time for the defeat of the relevant targets or scoring zones.

10.4.13. For any scoring in the relevant scoring zone of the target for "speed" Stages (except for the highest zone) until the final time of the athlete is added a penalty time in accordance with the value of the zone.

A penalty is added to the athlete's final result for each miss 5 s.

10.5. Accounting policy

10.5.1. Unless otherwise specified in the competition with in a written briefing before the Stage, the test paper targets must be hit by at least two shots each. The two best hits are offset. Scoring metal targets must be hit by at least one shot each and fall for scoring.

1 or 2 shots on target (default - 1 shot). In the case of using a card cartridge, the 2 best hits are taken into account, ie two hits with the highest points obtained from the cartridges of any shot.

10.5.2. If in competitions with a shotgun two or more targets receive direct scoring as a result of one shot, the result for the defeat of all targets is calculated in the usual way except for the application of paragraph 10.1.7 of these Rules.

10.5.3. If the diameter of the hole from the ball (ball) or shotgun in the test target touches the line between the two test zones or the line between the test and test zones, or crosses several test zones, points are awarded for the test zone with a higher value.

10.5.4. If the diameter of the hole from the ball (ball) or shotgun touches the scoring zones of several scoring and / or penalty targets that overlap, all relevant points and penalties will be charged.

10.5.5. For "speed Stages" hitting the target is any mark on the target, which was declared after the shot on it.

10.5.6. Radial gaps, which go from the diameter of the hole from the bullet (ball) or shotgun, are not used for points or penalties.

10.5.7. Holes in the paper target that exceed the diameter of the ball or shot used by the athlete are not taken into account for the calculation of points or penalties, if the edges of the hole have no visible traces (eg, traces of soot, grease or "crown", etc.), which eliminates the possibility of the formation of such a hole due to ricochet or hitting the debris.

10.5.8. Minimum points for Stage - zero (except for "applied" and "speed" Stages).

10.5.9. An athlete who has not fired at least one shot on the front side of each shooting target in a shooting Stage shall be awarded one procedural penalty for each unfired target along with the corresponding number of penalties for misses.

10.5.10. In competitions with a shotgun, the athlete will not be fined for unfired targets, if two or more targets will have credit hits received as a result of one shot. If an athlete has fired fewer shots at a group of targets than the number of targets, and one or more targets have not been scored, penalties are imposed for not firing at the targets and for misses in the appropriate amount.

10.5.11. Visible impact on a paper test or penalty target resulting from a shot from the back of this or another paper test or penalty target, and / or hits that have left no visible holes through the front of the paper test or penalty target, are not considered hits, no fines.

10.5.12. Fragile targets are considered to be affected if they have a through hole or a separated visible part.

10.5.13. At competitions with a gun if:

10.5.13.1. wad left an additional hole in the paper target and it is impossible to determine which of the holes is left by the bullet, the athlete shoots this Stage

10.5.13.2. the cartridge case from the card cartridge left a hole in the paper target, it is not allowed to assume that any hit by the cartridge could pass through the hole formed, unless there is visible evidence of such hit around the hole formed (for example, traces of scale , lubricants, characteristic stripes, etc.).

10.5.14. If an athlete in a shotgun competition uses an improper type of cartridge to perform a shooting Stage, the following applies:

10.5.14.1. if certain types of ammunition are prohibited for use in this shooting Stage for safety reasons, the athlete may be disqualified;

10.5.14.2. for a paper target, hits will not be counted and the target will be considered unaffected. In this case, the athlete is allowed to re-hit such a target for offset with the correct type of ammunition;

10.9. Counting points on disappearing targets

10.9.1. Movable targets in which at least part of zone A remains visible at rest (before or after its initial activation), or which constantly appear and disappear during the athlete's shooting Stage, are not disappearing and fines are always charged. for non-firing of such targets and / or for misses on them.

10.9.2. Movable targets that do not meet the above criteria are disappearing and no penalties are charged for non-firing of such targets and / or misses, unless the athlete has not activated the mechanism that causes the target to move, or at the time of his last shot on this shooting Stage.
