Which group is responsible for being familiar with the match program?

• A. The coach only
• B. The competitor and parent
• C. The range official only
• D. The sponsor

Answer: (B)

The match program lays out the schedule, check-in times, event order, rules, scoring, and safety procedures. The people who must know all of this firsthand are the competitor and their parent or guardian. They are the ones who will participate and manage the logistics for a minor—knowing when to be ready, what rules apply, and how scoring works helps them perform smoothly and avoid delays. Coaches help with preparation, and range officials run the event and enforce rules, but the primary responsibility for being familiar with the program rests with the competitor and their parent. Sponsors aren’t responsible for understanding the event’s flow.
