Modern Pentathlon – combined running and shooting (as a number of PA Judges get involved with MP)
In an ‘interesting’ move, Modern Pentathlon
is changing their competition format.
There will still be swimming, fencing and equestrian – but running and
shooting will be combined into the last leg of a competition.
In summary it
appears that:
Ø the
competitors will start the run/shoot leg in time order decided from the three
prior legs
Ø the
start line is 20m from the firing line
Ø targets
are a set of 5 falling plates at 10m per competitor
Ø after
knocking down all plates (or 1’:30’’ from commencing shooting) the competitors
can commence the first 1000m run which returns to the 10m range
Ø after
the first 1000m, the competitors again have to shoot the plates (or 1’:30’’
from commencing shooting) before commencing the second 1000m run which returns
to the 10m range
Ø after the second 1000m,
the competitors again have to shoot the plates (or 1’:30’’ from commencing
shooting) before commencing the third 1000m run to the finish line.
Rules for combined run/shoot>>
I would raise a
concern regarding the safe handling of pistols – time will tell how this all
works…
At least for this
the firearms stay at the firing points (unlike Biathlon).

A reminder about the problem with some Anschutz aluminium Air Rifle cylinders. Anschutz reports that
another four have been reported as bursting.

ISSF Rule
Change Summary
From
the ISSF, 28.11.08
The
Technical Committee Informs on the Major changes to the ISSF Rules for 2009.
All those items which are common in the four (4) discipline rules have been
transferred to Section 6, General Technical Rules for all Shooting Disciplines.
1.21.2 Arabic has been added as one of the ISSF recognized languages.
3.5.1 Ranges and other facilities: changes have been made to the number of
ranges required, 300 metre reduced to 40 for World Championships and Shotgun
Ranges increased to 4. Ranges required for World Cups added, to be the same as
for the Olympic Games except that the number of shotgun ranges increased to 4.
3.6.8.1 The maximum national team size for World Championships events has been
increased by one in total for both Men and Women for both Rifle and Pistol.
Substitutes abolished.
3.7 Competition Procedures, Preliminary Programme, Final Programme, Preliminary
Entries, Final Entries, put into a simplified and more easily understood order.
3.7.4 Majority of fees changed to Euros according to the list below.
3.12.3.2 ID Number Euro 10.00. Express application Euro 20.00.
Quota Regulations for London 2012
These Quota Place Rules will become available when issued by the IOC in the
year 2009. There are no Quota Places available in 2009.
4 ISSF Eligibility and Sponsorship Rules. There are
major changes.
5 ISSF Anti Doping Regulations Expanded rules.
6.3.17 Indoor range lighting requirements (lux).
Increased light levels, particularly for the Finals Range and for new ranges,
near to 1500 lux on the firing line, which is
required by the media for the new high speed cameras.
6.5.2 Shooters and team officials must be informed of the shooting schedule not
later than 12.00 on the day preceding the competition.
6.14 2009 ISSF Rules – New Classification Rules
The former “Count-back Rules” have been amended, and there will now be a
Shoot-off for all events with Finals to decide which tied shooters may
participate in the Finals.
Count Back Rules
Ties in Qualification (and Elimination) will now be broken (Rule 6.14.2):
1st by the total number of inner tens;
2nd by the highest score of the last ten shots series working backwards by 10
shot series in full ring scoring (not inner tens or decimals);
3rd by the number of tens, nines, etc, (in the whole score).
Shoot-offs for Finals
All those with equal scores tied for the last place(s)
in Finals will now Shoot-off.
Therefore the Preliminary Results will be posted at the end of
Qualification, ranked by inner tens, etc, showing this as example “587-56 x”,
but also indicating those eligible to participate in the Shoot-off to gain
entry to the Finals.
The Shoot-off should be planned to take place 30 minutes after the end of
Qualification.
Protest Time
The Protest time for Rifle and Pistol is now ten (10) minutes.
After the Shoot-off
The Qualification Results will then be published, showing the inner tens
and the results of the Shoot-off. The expression “QS-off” will be shown against
those who Shoot-off. [Any protests during the Shoot-off must be raised immediately].
Then the Finals Start List can be published.
After the Finals
The result of the Finals will be combined with the
results from Qualification to give the Final Result. This will show the results
with inner tens and also the result of any Shoot-offs. Shoot-offs from the
Finals will be shown as “S-off”.
Records and DSQ, DNF, and DNS etc will be in
the Remarks column as before.
Protest Forms, Range Incident Report Forms, Score Notification Forms and
Malfunction Score Computation Forms are included at the end of Section 6.
7 Rifle Rules
7.5.1.1.11 (Prone) and 7.5.1.3.14 (Kneeling) the following has been added. The
right hand and/or arm may not touch the left arm, shooting jacket or sling. The
reason for this addition is that although it was known that this was not
permitted, it was not specifically mentioned.
7.5.1.2.10 (Standing) The right hand may not touch the left hand or arm.
8 Pistol Rules 8.6.1.2 The Ready Position. The former
wording of the arm being motionless or stationary is impossible so this wording
has been changed to “The arm must not be visibly moving”.
9 Shotgun Rules
9.4.2.7 Now defines limits of porting; must not extend
back further than 15 cm.
9.12.2 Lower ranking to shoot first
10 Running Target Rules
