PF margin of error

[RePete]

As ammo nazi at a major State match - weather in the mid 90's, very high humidity, the PF's were lower than normal, 2 of the 4 people DQ'd 1 shooting minor and the other shooting major.

The minor shooter was 120 (needed 125) out of the match gun and their own gun (9mm 1911) and the other shooter was 163 out of their gun (S&W revolver in 38 Super). Both shooters play close to minimun PF and the heavy, dense air puked them.

DQ'd? I don't think you are allowed to disqualify somebody for not making their declared power factor.

I hope you mean that the minor shooter at 120 ended up shooting the match for no score, and the that the shooter at 163 ended up shooting with minor scoring.

IDPA = a DQ.

USPSA/IPSC = for fun.

Thanks! I didn't know failing to make Power Floor in IDPA was a DQ. I learned something new today.

Even though it's a DQ, we let them shoot for fun anyway. The scores are submitted as a DQ.
