by the Match Director.
- The Match may be suspended if the following weather issues
are present:
- Lightening on the range
- Rain or snow so hard that you cannot see the targets
- Targets so wet that they will not stay intact for scoring
the hits.
- Winds so severe that targets will not stay in the frames
- Match Director will review the weather conditions and grant
a 15 minute delay in the Match as appropriate to allow conditions
to improve. If weather conditions do not improve after several
delays, the Match Director may halt the Match and use available
scores to grade the competitors.
