I recently shot a Tier 3 match where a competitor failed Chrono by not making minimum power factor. The chrono officials said he had a DQ and called for the match director as per rules. The match director shows up and talks to the competitor and chrono officials then allows a reshoot with the competitors back up pistol. The guy had shot over half the match with the pistol that failed chrono yet he was allowed to continue the match for score after the back up pistol was used to pass chrono,the pistol appeared to be the same as his primary. Should this have stood as a DQ or should he have been allowed to continue the match?

Have you looked it up in the rules? I would assume the match director knows his stuff but you never know.

Definitely seems weird but I've seen all kinds of weirdness with USPSA so you never know. Can you send IDPA a email to their NROI equivalent and ask directly?

Still be nice to know what the official word was so that if you ever come across it in the future you are prepared. I had a buddy get bumped to open at a big USPSA match and a few months later there was a article in front sight addressing his very issue saying it wasn't a rules violation for production. Basically wasted his whole match.

I’ve only shot a few but that was enough for me. USPSA is where it’s at between the two.

Well I am shocked, I just received a reply from headquarters. They said that failure to meet power factor should have been an equipment DQ and that the only time a back up pistol could have been used was if the original pistol became unserviceable due to mechanical failure. Wow, the guy not only won SSP Expert but got a match bump to Master. |

I would document it all very clearly and make sure they know exactly what happened and who all was involved. Sucks that happened.
