Registration and Eligibility

In order to remain eligible for the prize table and Shoot-Off, the following criteria must be met over the course of the season:

  • Registration for the Series is $50, paid either before the shooter's first event, or the start of the third event in the series - whichever comes first.
  • Division must be chosen at time of registration.
  • $50 entry fee must be received, per registration rules.
  • Division may be changed up to the start of the 3rd series event, but doing so forfeits any points accumulated from prior finishes.
  • Shooter cannot change divisions for any match in the series once the third event in the series begins.
  • Shooter must finish a minimum of one(1) series event at each participating club, and greater than 50% of total matches.

Scoring

  • Match scoring will be time plus penalties. Series standings will be calculated only on series competitors.

  • Failure to Neutralie(FTN).
  • 4 second penalties:

  • Failure to spin MGM spinner target.
  • Each shooter will be required to approve their own score on the tablet at the conclusion of each course of fire.
  • Scores will be posted at 12:00 Eastern on the Monday following the match.
  • There will be a 2 hour arbitration period, beginning at 12:00 when the scores are posted. Shooters will be notified via email and via our Facebook page.
  • If an arbitration is required, the shooter will fill out the arbitration form located on our website at http://www.tennesseemultigun.com/protest.aspx
  • This will send a timestamped email to the series, and a notification will go to the shooters that an arbitration has been requested.
  • The Series and Match Directors will review the arbitration request(s), and make a decision, and a response email will be sent to the shooter informing them of the decision made.
  • Note that in the event of an arbitration request, review could take substantially longer than the 2 hour period. This does not mean that new requests may be made after the 2 hour window closes, however.
  • In the absence of a request, after the 2 hour period scores will be final. No further objections can be made.

Please see the UML Rule Book for more information on procedurals that may be incurred.
