RE: MSR SCORES AT
Fasst...
The discrepency on the card was not found out until saturday. The shooter had finished shooting all 40 on friday and the score keeper that called this into question didn't see the score posting till saturday afternoon. You have till onehour past the close of the range on the day the cards are turned in to file a protest. This time had passed. The only course of action left was to file thru this rule...
3. SCORING DISCREPANCIES. In the event of a scoring discrepancy, a protest may be filed by following the above procedures, OR if there is no allegation of intentional wrongdoing and the scoring discrepancy is the result of inadvertence, simple error, or mistake, a request for reconsideration may be filed with the IBO office no later than the first Friday following the conclusion of an event. If a protest concerning a scoring discrepancy or a request for reconsideration is filed with the IBO office, the IBO will review the appeal or request and a FINAL decision will be made and communicated to the archer within ten working days following the date the protest or request is received. In the event a protest or request for reconsideration is received after the awards ceremony begins, IBO or host officials will not be held responsible for awards given based on the results posted prior to the awards ceremony at the conclusion of the event.
C. REVIEW OF COMPETITION BY THE IBO
[ul]It is the intent and goal of the IBO to encourage participation in archery by providing a fair and equitable competition for every competitor at every IBO sanctioned event. The IBO also recognizes that it is very difficult for the IBO and host clubs to set courses, monitor rule violations, tabulate scores, encourage safety, hand out awards, and do all the other things required for a successful competition in a very short time period. Consequently, the IBO reserves the right in its sole discretion to investigate, review, and/or correct any competitive result based on any violation of rules, unsportsmanlike conduct, shooter eligibility, inadvertence, mistake, harmless error, or any other relevant circumstance, whether or not a protest or request for reconsideration is filed.[/ul]
This was filed by one score keeper, as Joe was the otherand attention brought to the area rep of another member of the group who also spoke with the IBO this past friday.
Now it wouldn't have gone this far if the situation didn't make the remaining memebers of the group uncomfortable with action and words spoken during these ten targets. Thus the reason they were keeping track of scores that were posted. The rules for scoring and score card keeping were adhered to to the letter. The score was changed on the cardby someone after he left this group and score keepers had signed off.The 93 was placed in the top boxes for the range scoresas well as the running scores on the bottom lines... the running scores on the bottomwere not changed. It is the responcibility of every shooter to check and recheck their cards before signing them and handing them in at the tent.The IBO will make a ruling after it goes before the proper people.
