Fouls & Penalty in shooting

Fouls & Penalty 

 Score Protests: A shooter may make a Score Protest about the value of a shot. If this is denied, a two-point penalty is automatically incurred. Such protests are resolved by the Classification Jury using accredited techniques. Other Penalties / Disqualification are in accordance with the ISSF Rules. Most common reasons for penalties are cross-fired shots, and for disqualification failure of rifle clothing being too stiff, and failure of pistol trigger weight test (too light).

Deciding Open and Concealed Violations

1. The case of an open violation of the Rules, a Warning (Yellow Card) must first be given so that the athlete may have an opportunity to correct the fault.

If the athlete does not correct the fault as instructed by the Jury, two (2) points must be deducted from his score. If the athlete still does not correct the fault after receiving a Deduction (Green Card), Disqualification (Red Card) (DSQ) must be imposed; or
2. the case of a concealed violation of the Rules, when the fault is deliberately concealed, Disqualification (Red Card) (DSQ) must be imposed; or
