Failure of the trigger to meet trigger pill specifications shall disqualify the competitor in matches previously fired.
While trigger pull is being weighted, the gunshall be held with the barrel perpedicular to the horizontal surface on which the test wight is supported. The rod or hook of test weight shall rest on lowest pointof the curve in curved triggers or on a point approximately 1/4 of an inch (6,35mm) from the lower end of straight triggers.
To pass the weight test, a weight of correct number of pounds (Gramms) shall be lifted by the revolver or pistol trigger while all safety devices are in firing position from the horizontal surface on which it is resting, until the weight hangs free and without releasing the trigger.
Guns must be unloaded while trigger is being weighted.
Competitors will be permitted to adjust triggers which have failed to pass the weight test provided they do not delay the match.

Classification
1) the classification system.: gives you the chance to compete against "same level" shooters. gives you the chance to win class awards. allows to win "over all" categorie.
2 ) wa1500 international classification :is based on results of mainmatch 1500 (if open for either pistol and revolver) if there is no mainmatch but revolver 1500 / auto 1500, the competitor has to declare (bevore he starts his matches), which of both results shall be sent to classification
3) Reporting Scores:wa1500 competition sponsors will report to the wa1500 fired scores as shown in number 2. Sending results can be done by sending a web-adress where result-list can be found.
4) national classification:for national Classification purposes members of wa1500 may have other rules
5) wa1500 world ranking list: see "wa1500 classification" If to be enlisted, you need at least three results, no break ´more than nine month between. If you have four results or more, the best three will be counted. The average of that three of four best bill be your ranking in wa1500 world list
6) wa1500 individual classification:in his first competition a shooter will compete as "unclassified" or as "high master", depends on sponsor of competition. in 2nd competition you will be classified "temporary". Your class depends on result of 1st competition. after two results 150shot the competitor will be classified according following individual classification Table
If he got two scores over a "borderline", he will "climb up" into that class.

7) obsolete classification and score: Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert Classification will become obsolete, if the competitor does not fire at least once during three succesive years.
High Master, Distinguished Master and Master classification becomes obsolete if a competitor does not fire at least once during five succesive years.
8) competing in a higher class:Any Individual or Team may elect before firing in a tournament, to compete in a higher class than the one in which classified. Such individual or Team must fire in the higher classification troughout the entire tournament and not revert to original earned classification for any Match in the tournament.
9) moving in another class by tournament director: When there are insufficient entries in any class to warrant an award in that class according to the Tournament Program, the Individual or Team concerned may be moved by the Tournament Director to a higher class provided this change is made prior to the Individual or Team concerned having commenced firing in the tournament.
10) wa1500 team classification:Teams are classified by computing the "team average" based on the classification of each firing member of the team.To compute this "team average" the key in the following table for the different classes will be used and the team total divided by the number of firing members of the team. Any fractional figure in the "team average" of 1/2 or moren will place the team in the next higher class.

Targets
The origin ppc target is the NRA B27 and NRA B34 (reduced target to simulate 50 meter/yds Stages at 25 m/yds)This target shows a human sihouette and so it is forbidden to be used for civilian shooting sports in some countries.So some countries designed similar targets, which are "political correct". One of this alternative are the German and Swedish PPC target, which is meanwhile used by few members of wa1500.All results on B27 or similar targets are okay for Classification and top/ranking list database provided the size of scoring ringes etc. is the same as on the B27 target.

Scoring
Visible
shots and close groups
As
a general rule only those hits which are visible, will be scored.
An exeption
will be made in the case where the groupings of 3 or more shots are
so close that it is possible for a required shot or shots to have
gone through the enlarged hole without leaving a mark and
there is no evidence that a shot or shots have gone elsewhere than
trough the assigned target.
In such case,
the shooter will be given the benefit of the doubt and scored hits
for the non-visible shots, on the assumption the apssed trough the
enlarged hole.
If such
assumption should place a non-visible hit in either two scoring
rings, it shall be scored in the higher-valued ring.
All shots
count:
All shots fired by the competitor after he has taken position
at the firing point will be counted in his score, even if
accidentally discharged.
How to
score:
A
shot hole, the leaded edge of which which come´s in contact
with the outside of a scoring ring will be awarded the higher value
(see right). A overlay must be used to determine the value of close
shots.
-
Hits on
the wrong target
are scored as misses
Early or
late shots:
If any shots are fired at the target before the starting
signal or signal to cease firing, the shots of highest value equal
to the number fired in error will be scored as misses.
MISSES
Shots
outside the scoring rings are scored as misses.
Score
Card
Scorecards :will
be prepared by the Statistical Office and delivered to the
competitior who will return the scorecard over to the scorer at the
appropriate time.-
Erasures:on
scorecards are not permitted. If corrections is necessary, it must
be made and initialed by the scorer or Range Officer.
To make
corrections, the scorer or Range Officer draws a line or lines
trough the incorrect score and places the correct score above.
Scorer:evaluate
the hits on the "legend" of target (in the upper right
corner of the target) until he completely evaluates the target,
determines and enters the shots values andrecords the proper number
of hits value in the space provided on scorecard. Finally sign the
scorecard.
Shooter:review
the evaluation of the shots on the target and compare the recorded
hits on the scorecard with the target and review the score-card for
complete entries and accuracy of the hits recorded, making sure that
they are of the correct value and that required number of hits for
the match are enlistedsign the scorecard as competitor if
the
hits and shot values are properly evaluated and recorded,
acknowledging acceptance of the score as it appears at the scorecard
or
writes
challenged
in place of his signature if a shot(s) value is questionable or if
there is another reason to "challenge". In both cases
bring scorecard (if challenged, bring also targets) to statistical
office. Bring it as soon as possible. In some competitions you must
bring it within 30 minutes.
