IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING SERVICE 25YDS LOADING
Due to an inadvertent error Rule 7.4.5.2 was added and is WRONG. The version on this page is now correct. The correct wording of this rule is
S25/7.4.5.2. If a competitor places less than the number of rounds in their pocket required for that stage, they are NOT permitted to make up to the required number of rounds. Doing so will incur a 10point penalty for each round so added.
As NRC Director I apologize for this error and also thank the Service Judge B who, in querying the interpretation, actually alerted me to the fact that it was new and was wrong.
