matir Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is there a rule that specifies squadding order? I don't see one, so curious how it's determined. Is it up to the match organizers? Decided within each squad? Obviously, this question is before even my first match, just curious how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 No rule. It is up to the Match Director and varies from club to club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfoto Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It is common curtesy to make sure new shooters are pushed down in the order so they get a chance to see the stage ran a couple times before their turn. Make sure you let your squad know it’s your first match so they can give you this chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see most commonly are local (level 1) matches the squads almost always go with a random order for each stage (with new shooters run last) Level 2 and up matches (Sectionals, State, Area, National) the squads pic a initial sort for the first stage (often alphabetical but not always) then stay in that order with the first shooter on stage 1 moving to the bottom for the next stage, so on stage 2 the second shooter from stage 1 is now first and the first shooter from stage 1 is last, this rotation continues through the match.

theautobahn Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Level 1 matches, in my experience: Sometimes Random. But usually drop 1 or drop 2 (so number two or three shooter shoots first on next stage, so on and so forth). As has been said, new shooters should state that and they'll get bumped. Sometimes we have to play with RO shooting order, too. Or someone shooting two divisions. Edited March 23, 2020 by theautobahn verbiage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 75% of the time I’m 2nd, my wife is first. unless there are shooters with A last names in our squad. Its no big deal but I hate being last on the 3rd stage when I’m warmed up and ready to rock and roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb72 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I always sort by last name, descending order. That's gives the people who never get a chance to shoot first a chance to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
