USPSA RO's

Next question;

How many competitors have you DQ'ed?

None. They DQd themselves

 

[blkrifle]

None. They DQd themselves

this is the correct answer!

 

[rvb]

that's the in-vogue mantra, but for the most part, the language the rules uses is that the competitor commits a safety infraction that is subject to DQ, then receives a DQ from the from the match official, who issues it. Technically, they don't "DQ themselves." But they commit an infraction, resulting in DQ. Unfortunately, I've issued several. I also received one, circa 2007. I had a dream a couple weeks ago I received another...

I have nothing against the common language. I use it, too. e.g. "Joe Blow DQ'd on stage 4" or "I hated watching a Boy Named Sue DQ himself." However, it's also not incorrect to say "I DQ'd Mustang Sally when she swept herself," or to ask "how many shooters have you DQ'd."

You can learn a ton from the class, but if you really want to learn about this sport it is when you apply what you learned in class by running the timer on shooters especially at larger matches.
Just doing it at a club match and usually with the same group of people is fine and it is a big help to the local clubs, but you can get in a pattern, get used to the same folks and how they shoot...you might even get a little lazy on the timer and let some things slip by
RO'ing several 100 people from all over in a State/Section or Level 2 match will open your eyes to all kinds of different shooters and how they do things, makes you more prepared.

By the way coming up is the SNS 400, the Area 5 Steel Challenge Championship and the Indiana Section match...

I worked with a "seasoned" RO at the 400 last year and found it very beneficial. He gave me a lot of good tips and advice that it would have taken me longer to learn on my own.

Seasoned? probably a little more marinated then seasoned

 

[riverman67]

I think "Seasoned" translates to fat, old and grouchy.

That means that I'm well seasoned!

 

[JMitch]

Good for another year. I am glad someone started this thread the association doesn't let you know you when you are about to expire.

 

[JDubb]

I am good for awhile longer.

 

[Coach]

Just took the test. Another 100%. Check that off as completed for another year.

 

[downrange72]

Well I fat finger a true false but quoted the rule correctly. 95%

Leave it to me to leave out details

Time management outside of work is now a reality for sure and for certain.
