IPSC Range Officer's Creed |
||
1 |
Safety shall always be my primary goal, with efficiency and speed of the competition as secondary factors. | |
2 |
It is a privilege and an honour to serve as a Range Officer and I shall act accordingly. | |
3 |
It is my duty to assist all competitors in their attempts to accomplish their goals and not to hinder them by undue harassment and authoritarian behaviour. | |
4 |
I shall put aside personal prejudices and act as an impartial judge at all times. | |
5 |
I shall keep my opinions to myself and shall not be critical of any individual beyond the field of contest. | |
6 |
I will thoroughly familiarize myself with all current regulations, match rules and attendant subjects. | |
7 |
I will be firm and fair in all judgmental calls made during the course of a stage, and be prepared to state in a clear and concise manner my reasons for such calls to the particular competitor or any Range Official. | |
8 |
During the course of a stage, my attention shall be clearly focused on the particular competitor I am assigned to observe, and I shall not permit my attention to be misdirected or lax. | |
9 |
Prior to and during a stage, I shall never consume any alcoholic beverage or narcotic. I understand that if I violate this rule, I may be suspended or barred from serving as a Range Official in the future. | |
10 |
I shall confer only with my fellow Range Officers and Match Officials concerning the behaviour of any competitor and any decisions to be rendered. | |
11 |
I shall exercise due consideration for the personal emotions of any competitor, and shall act in a manner so as not to embarrass or disturb the competitor any more than is absolutely necessary. | |
12 |
I shall strive to never give even the appearance of wrongdoing. | |
