Classifications
All competitors must register according to their true classification and are advised to have proof of their classifications available at check-in, as it will be required for all shooters. The Jury reserves the right to correct obvious mistakes. Anyone without a current SFC classification will compete as a Temporary Expert. This rule also applies to NRA members, as NRA classifications are not accepted. If a competitor knowingly registers in a class below their actual classification and fails to rectify the issue, they may be disqualified for falsification of documents, and no fees will be refunded.
After participating in one SFC match (completing one full course), an
American shooter will be assigned an SFC classification based on their scores in that match at no charge. They must use this classification in all subsequent SFC matches until they are reclassified, following the same rules as any SFC shooter.
