Yes, DNROI has issued an official opinion about what "standing outside the shooting area" means.  I don't see where he opined about "faulting" relevant to this discussion?

 

(Not that it matters, because in USPSA faulting only occurs when shots are being fired, otherwise we'd be faulting every time we ran from one shooting area to another.  Perhaps you're thinking about our European cousin, IPSC?)

That's not actually true.  Faulting occurs all the time---it just is not penalized unless you fire a shot.

 

10.2.1 states, in part:  "No penalty is assessed if a competitor does not fire any shots while faulting, providing doing so does not violate (2.2.1.5 or 3.2.6) "

 

Faulting and earning a procedural for faulting are two separate issues.  Faulting is a competitor state, the procedural is for firing a shot while being in that state.

Is that the best you got? Faulting is touching the ground (and other things) beyond the fault lines. Same damn thing. This is a ridiculous discussion.

 

Lol, no, it's not the same damn thing, at least not to someone who is good at math. Two entirely different concepts, applied at different times, that only appear similar to english or art history majors. ;)

Take it up with NROI.  DNROI has already spoken on the matter.

 

As I already said before, we have all agreed to abide by Troy's incorrect interpretation. We will all be wrong together, and I don't have a problem with that. Being right isn't important, but being *consistent* is very important for competitive equity.
