Scoring is done on a “Total Time” basis. The accumulated time of all runs, plus target hits, plus penalties equal “Total Time”.

On the D-1 targets:-

“A” zone, add nil seconds, "B" zone, add one second. "C" zone, add 2 seconds. Miss, add 5 seconds. Hitting no shoots (full bullet hole), add 5 seconds. Premature start, add 5 seconds. Foot faults, add 5 seconds. Failure to engage, add 5 seconds per target.

Procedural, add 5 seconds. (See note below)

Extra shot, add 5 seconds (shots limited).

Extra hit, add 5 seconds (shots limited).

Overtime shot, add 10 seconds (fixed time).

Failure to hit stop plate, add 30 seconds.

Failure to engage on steel plates (with papers only),

add 5 seconds per plate.

All Steel stage will be scored Hit or Miss.

(Fundamentally, a procedural is a penalty for not following the as-briefed procedure. While the rulebook may be silent on the strict interpretation, it is usual and customary that a single procedural is awarded for failing to follow the instructions. If an advantage is gained, such as shooting freestyle instead of strong hand, the the penalty is assessed for each shot fired. Simply shooting targets out of order should be a single procedural.)
