20 SCORES, APPEALS AND PROTESTS Official Scores The official score is the record kept by the referee/scorer on a sheet furnished him/her by Management. The referee/scorer s decision on whether a target is dead or lost is final. All reported scores are checked for accuracy and corrections will be made when required. Junior Shoot Out Management maintains the objective of producing timely, accurate and complete scoring records for each event. They do not represent any club, county, team, or individual. The NSC, via the Shoot Coordinator, will be responsible for conducting any and all aspects of the event pertaining to shooting including, but not limited to: squadding, scoring, posting of scores, determination and conducting shoot offs, determination of winners, and rules interpretation. Appeals A Contestant may appeal a dead/lost ruling on the field if he/she feels a referee has missed a call. Once the Contestant has changed posts or exited the shooting cage, such right of appeal is lost. The referee may seek assistance from the official scorer or may poll the squad at his or her discretion. The decision of the referee in regard to dead or lost targets on the field is final and not subject to further appeal. A parent or coach s score is not an official score and will not be consulted. Protests Only Contestants may protest any perceived injustice, violation of the rules, or other circumstances that may have resulted in placing them at a disadvantage relative to other Contestants. Such conditions must be reported to the field referee immediately. If satisfaction is not obtained, the situation should be reported immediately to the Shoot Coordinator or Chief Referee. If resolution is not reached at this point, the Contestant only has the right to present a written protest with a $20.00 protest fee to the Chief Referee or Shoot Coordinator within one (1) hour of the time their squad has finished or score was posted.

25 ATTACHMENT A Lewis Class System for the 2018 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Junior Shoot Out There will be four (4) or more Lewis Classes (Class one (1) being the top Class). The Lewis Class calculation format below governs the 2018 Junior Shoot Out. All Contestants in any of the Top Gun Classes will not be included in the Lewis Class event. After all of the Contestants in the Top Gun Classes have been removed from the overall total, the remaining Contestant scores will be listed in descending order. The remaining Contestants represent the total Lewis Class number used in the following calculations. The list of Contestant s scores will be divided into classes by placing dividing lines (original line) based on the following calculation: Total number of Contestants in Lewis Class divided by number of classes If the result is a whole number, it is the number of Contestants for each class In the event that the calculation does not end up as a whole number, the whole number portion of the result is the base number for each class. The remainder is to be multiplied by the number of classes. This will generate a remaining whole number that will be less than the total number of classes. This is the number of classes that need to have one (1) added to the base number, starting with the lowest class and then moving up. When an original line is placed between a number of tied scores, the Contestants will be re assigned as follows: Majority above the line, those Contestants below the line are moved above the line. Majority below the line, those Contestants above the line are moved below the line. Equal number above and below, those Contestants above the line are moved below the line. Only the lines with ties are moved. The original lines in all other classes remain as originally drawn. There is the possibility of having a significantly different number of Contestants for each class. 24 of 25
