Events

1. Super SWAT Cop (Individual Event)
Event will start and finish in the Indoor Range. On the start the Operator will disassemble their duty handgun (field strip) and depart the range through the rear entrance following the marked route through the prison corridor. He/she will then exit the prison to the left and follow the zigzag into the court yard until they reach the drag dummies at which time the Operator will drag/carry one dummy to the designated location and place the dummy in the trailer. Once the dummy is completely in the trailer (no part touching the ground) the Operator will then proceed by the most direct route out of the South Wagon Gate and turn left continuing around the entire circumference of the prison wall until he/she reaches and enters back through the South Wagon Gate. Upon entering, the Operator will then proceed to the 1st Obstacle of the Obstacle course and complete the entire course. For this event only: There are no red zones. The individual participant must complete the entire course unassisted using any and all portions of the obstacle necessary to successfully complete. Upon completion of the final obstacle, the Operator will then proceed to the "Smiley Wall" where he/she will choose one of 2 M-4 carbines (Simunitions modified), load a preloaded magazine and fire 5 rounds into the designated target. Once the 5th round has been fired, the Operator will drop the magazine and show clear, place the weapon back on the table and proceed to the zigzag ramp, into the prison corridor and back to the main entrance of the Indoor Range. He/she will re-assemble their weapon, load 5 rounds into the magazine and fire 5 rounds at the designated target(s). Upon firing the 5th round the Operator will drop the magazine and show clear at which time clock will stop. He/she will then proceed out of the range upon direction of the Range Master.

Important note:
If you drop any part of your weapon while disassembling or assembling the weapon, you may retrieve that part or parts when OK’ed to do so by the Range Master. You may not do o while someone else is firing or getting ready to fire.

Required:
1 duty hand-gun, 1 magazine, 5 loose rounds per participant, hearing & eye protection. Uniform is at the discretion of the Operator.

Important Course Information:
Watch for traffic on city streets. Keep to the sidewalk whenever possible.

The Judges reserve the option to use or not use some parts of the O Course as they deem necessary, such as for weather or safety concerns.



2. Mouse Trap (5 Person Team Event)
The Team will stage in the Start Box and don their protective mask. On the start, the Team will open the door and enter the stairwell. The team will then proceed up the stairs to the second level ensuring they do not detonate any IED’s that "may" be in place. Upon reaching the second level the team will post in the staging box. Once all Team Members are in the staging box, the designated shooter will load two 12 gauge, less lethal rounds and engage the target with 2 rounds (must strike the hit zone). Team members will then proceed following the designated route to the entrance of the "Mouse Trap" (clearly marked) where a minimum of two team members will enter, locate the downed the officer (drag dummy) and retrieve the officer bringing him safely out of the Mouse Trap. The Team will safely transport the “officer” to the designated “drop” location and follow the exit route out of the building at which time the clock will stop.

Once all team members are on the landing the operators may then load their weapons and proceed up to the second floor ensuring they do not activate any IED’s that “may” be in place. Once on the second floor, the team will enter through the doorway and proceed to the breach door of the "house". The route from the stairway to the breach door will be well marked. All team members who will be entering the shoot house must be in the box before the door is breached. The designated team member will gain access via manual breaching tool. Upon breaching, the designated operator will deploy one distraction device and the team will enter the house upon detonation, locate and rescue the hostage, engaging each hostile with no less than 2 rounds in the "box". All handguns will be holstered prior to exiting the house. The "hostage" will then be transported to and placed in the designated blue box at which time operators w/ long guns will show clear. The team may then proceed down the stairs, exit the doorway and proceed to the staging box at the response vehicle. Once the entire team is in staging box, the clock will stop.
