Code of Conduct

Cross Timbers Action Shooting Association (CTASA) shoots IDPA and USPSA matches.  The governing bodies of these two sports have rules regarding the Code of Conduct that is expected at these competitive matches. 

CTASA will follow these guidelines to resolve any conflicts between competitors.

The relevant rules for each sport are:

IDPA 

3.11.1.12  I will not communicate with others in a threatening, harassing, or abusive manner. 

3.11.1.15  If I have a question or an issue, my first contact is with the Chief Safety Officer at the match, then the Match Director, then the Area Coordinator, then the Regional Area Coordinator Lead, and then IDPA HQ. 

3.11.1.16  I understand that violations of these responsibilities and Code of Conduct will result in my being penalized by the MD within the full range of penalties up to and including disqualification from a match, and may result in the revocation of my IDPA membership.

USPSA

10.6  Match Disqualification – Unsportsmanlike Conduct

10.6.1  Competitors will be disqualified from a match for conduct which a Range Officer deems to be unsportsmanlike.  Examples of unsportsmanlike conduct include, but are not limited to, cheating, dishonesty, failing to comply with the reasonable directions of a Match Official, or any behavior likely to bring the sport into disrepute.  The Range Master must be notified as soon as possible.
