PCC Start

And btw, at the European Rifle Championship in Hungary, there was a local rule on the range that muzzle could not point over the berm for safety reasons. The Entire match was rifle parallel starting position and at no times could the barrel point over the berms, which at times were ridiculously low, almost in line with the targets. We practiced for months to start and move with our rifles never pointing up.

   Port arms definition is left vague as some ranges have rules about muzzle above berm = DQ   If port arms had to be muzzle high up around your chin or nose, then some clubs would not allow PCC.    Can you quote that rule? I'm having trouble finding that in the book.

It's an opinion about the definition about port arms and a statement about rules some ranges have.

 

From best practices:

Start Positions
Default/normal start position: Facing downrange, carbine held in both hands, stock on
belt or shouldered, muzzle downrange. Fingers will be out of the trigger guard, and the
safety must be applied if the carbine is loaded. This equates to either “port arms” or
“low ready”.
NO uprange starts while holding the carbine!
Muzzle downrange means generally downrange, and does not have to be directly
horizontal, pointing at the backstop, unless the WSB specifies it as such
.
At ranges where muzzle direction is specified by the range(not the USPSA club) then
that restriction must be followed
.
Ultimately, the start position should be up to the stage designer, but must be clearly
stated and able to be safely assumed by the competitor.

I still don't see anything about pointing over a berm being a DQ
