9.8.5

A Match Director may elect to have results posted electronically (e.g. via a website) either in addition to, or
as an alternative to, physically printing them. If so, the relevant procedure must be published in advance in
match literature and/or by way of a notice posted in a conspicuous place at the shooting range prior to
commencement of the match. Facilities (e.g. a computer) must be provided for competitors to view the
results if a Match Director has elected to only have results posted electronically.

9.9

Scoring of Disappearing Targets

9.9.1

Moving targets which present at least a portion of the highest scoring area when at rest (either before or after
initial activation), or which continuously appear and disappear for the duration of a competitor’s attempt at a
COF, are not disappearing and will always incur failure to engage and/or miss penalties.

9.9.2

Moving targets, which do not comply with the above criteria, are disappearing and will not incur failure to
engage or miss penalties unless a competitor fails to activate the mechanism which initiates the target
movement before firing the last shot for that course of fire.

9.9.3

Stationary targets which present at least a portion of the highest scoring area, either before or after activation
of a moving and/or concealing no-shoot or vision barrier, are not disappearing and will incur failure to
engage and/or miss penalties.

9.9.4

Targets which present at least a portion of the highest scoring zone each time a competitor operates a
mechanical activator (e.g. a rope, lever, pedal, flap, door etc.), are not subject to this section.

9.10

Official Time

9.10.1

Only the timing device operated by a Range Officer and/or the Stop Plate included in the COF must be used
to record the official elapsed time of a competitor's attempt at a course of fire. If a Range Officer assigned to
a course of fire (or a more senior Match Official) deems that a timing device or Stop Plate is faulty, a
competitor whose attempt cannot be credited with an accurate time will be required to reshoot the course of
fire.

9.10.2

If, in the opinion of an Arbitration Committee, the time credited to a competitor for a course of fire is deemed
to be unrealistic, the competitor will be required to reshoot the course of fire (see Rule 9.7.4).

9.10.3

A competitor who reacts to a start signal but, for any reason, does not continue their attempt at the course of
fire and fails to have an official time recorded on the timing device operated by the Range Officer, will be
given a zero time and zero score for that stage.

9.10.4

When a Stop Plate is used in a COF, the competitor must shoot and hit the Stop Plate with his final shot,
failing which the competitor will receive a zero score for the subject stage.

9.11

Scoring Programs

9.11.1

The scoring programs approved by IPSC are the Match Scoring System (MSS) and Windows® Match
Scoring System (WinMSS). No other scoring program must be used for any IPSC sanctioned match without
the prior written approval of the Regional Director of the host Region. In the case of MSS and WinMSS the
most recent versions of the scoring programs available from the IPSC website are to be used.
