IPSC Rules Ch 01 FINAL EXAM Questions And
CORRECT Answers
1.1.1 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Safety - IPSC matches must be designed, constructed and conducted with due consideration to
safety.



1.1.2 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Quality - The value of an IPSC match is determined by the quality of the challenge presented in the
course design. Courses of fire must be designed primarily to test a competitor's IPSC shooting skills,
not their physical abilities.



1.1.3 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Balance - Accuracy, Power and Speed are equivalent elements of IPSC shooting, and are expressed in
the Latin words "Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas" ("DVC"). A properly balanced course of fire will depend
largely upon the nature of the challenges presented therein. However, courses must be designed,
and IPSC matches must be conducted in such a way, as to evaluate these elements equally.



1.1.4 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Diversity - IPSC shooting challenges are diverse. While it is not necessary to construct new courses
for each match, no single course of fire must be repeated to allow its use to be considered a
definitive measure of IPSC shooting skills.



1.1.5 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Freestyle - IPSC matches are freestyle. Competitors must be permitted to solve the challenge
presented in a freestyle manner and, for handgun and shotgun matches, to shoot targets on an "as
and when visible" basis. After the Start Signal, courses of fire must not require mandatory reloads
nor dictate a shooting position, location or stance, except as specified below. However, conditions
may be created, and barriers or other physical limitations may be constructed, to compel a
competitor into shooting positions, locations or stances.

, 1.1.5.1 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Freestyle : Level I and Level II matches are not required to comply strictly with the freestyle
requirements or round count limitations (see Section 1.2).



1.1.5.2 - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Freestyle : Short Courses and Classifiers may include mandatory reloads and may dictate a shooting
position, location and/or stance. When a mandatory reload is required, it must be completed after
the competitor shoots at his first target, and before he shoots at his final target. Violations are
subject to one procedural penalty.

when shooting.



1.1.5.4 [H] - CORRECT ANSWERS Course Design - General Principles



Freestyle : [H] If a written stage briefing specifies strong or weak hand only, Rule 10.2.8 will apply. If a
competitor is merely required to carry, retain or grasp an object during his attempt at a course of fire,
Rule 10.2.2 will apply.
