Looks like a bit of a derailment...
About tommorow shooting - we had over 20 protests. Over 90% not reasonable (split - we have a lot of photo - or total miss). On Friday and Saturday, the marshalls will only enter your protests on the reverse of score cards - we will check this targets after the end of the day. If the protested targets are defective - we will cancel them for whole competition. Please remember - we are in a very difficult competition area - the protest check must take a while.
This solution is approved by WFTF!!!!!
The only target that was canceled after today is on the blue course (4 lane). When the tester hit the lower part of the HZ, the figure didn't always turn down. It's better to cancel - we want to be fair to everyone.
But please, think twice before the protest. The overwhelming majority of protests today (mostly split) delayed the competition on Thursday, which is why the PM group will finish the competition on Friday. Think about other shooters. Thanks to this our championship will end according to plan.
And also: WFTC'18 Poland. Hector Medina Reports On The First Day of Competition.
All scores as of now remain the same as yesterday, no updates or revisions.
The PM line was cancelled due to torrential thunderstorms.
Stay tuned for future updates and scores, as well as the latest drama from Poland.

Update:
ATTENTION!!!

Great job Ray, Matt and Cameron! Three Piston shooters in the Top 10 in the world. I guess the death of piston FT in the USA was greatly exaggerated.
Team USA Piston #1 in the World, who would have thought that (besides Ray, Matt and Cam).
You should all be proud.

Congratulations to all of our Team USA members!!
Ray Apelles Springer 4th Place overall, Matt Brackett for 5th place overall, Cameron Kerndt 10th place Overall.
Greg Suave for again taking Open PCP Veteran First Place Honors
Lauren Parsons for taking 2nd place in Womens Open PCP, and I believe the 2nd place USA finisher behind Mr. Suave in the Open PCP
Hector Gomez for taking fourth place in the Springer Veteran class.
If I missed any other high finishers I apologize. Sorry to hear about the Rain delays.
Congratulations!!
Taught Cam everything I knew ?
