If a match's posted start time is 1330, please show up well before 1330. You don't have to help set up as there are usually enough people, but it would be nice. Do not show up at 1325 (or later) and expect to shoot. Leave time to sign up, get organized into squads, prep your equipment, get a walk through, etc. Especially if it is your first match.
During the course of the match, please help to tape up targets. reset steel poppers, and keep score, etc. It genuinely helps the match go smoother and quicker. Don't worry if you don't know how. There will be plenty of people willing to show you.
Read the course description for each stage before it's your turn to shoot. Don't lay back and BS, or worse, make everybody look for you, and when you get up there, ask "How does this go?". Watch others shoot it before you.
Don't pack up and leave after your final shot. Stick around, and help break everything down. It just makes everything easier on everyone involved, fellow competitors and organizers alike. Not a bad idea to bring work/mechanic's gloves, as you will be dealing with staples, splintered wood, spikes driven into dirt, etc.
These apply to matches at Freeport, and out at LIPSA as well.
If you're going to sign up and/or register for a match, please show up. If for some reason you can't make it, please let the match organizers know. In the past, it was no big deal. Lately, matches have been filling up. If you don't show, you took a spot away from someone who would have wanted to be there.
