CHECK THE DAMN TIMER

[GorillaTactical]

Well, I learned the hard way this past weekend to pay more attention to what the RO calls out for time/what the actual timer says/what is on the score-pad.  At the end of the day, I pushed accept on the pad, and it's a really really annoying learning experience that I won't soon forget...

 

So long story short, I shot the Area 59 Championship (match was awesome, it was the first time the club hosted a LVL2 match), but I ended up getting hosed on stage that cost me the match win due to my time being entered a solid 40% slower than I actually shot the stage.  I was able to review video when I got home to see that the entire length of the video of the stage (including make ready) was less than my recorded time.  

 

I pay attention to my hits and what is called out during the stage scoring, but I have neglected to be so specific with the timer...clearly that can't happen again.

Thanks - sounds like sound advice.

 

I've had problem with my hearing, so if I don't hear the buzzer the first time, I've had RO's forget to

reset the timer for the 2nd buzz.

 

Where is Area 59 ?
