Equipment

Training Weapons

Training Weapons (guns, batons, OC spray, Tasers) must be instantly and completely identifiable as a training weapon. It is unacceptable for a school to use equipment that may cause confusion as to its authenticity as a working weapon. Schools are highly encouraged to use training weapons that are rubber molded and are completely an identifiable color like Red, Orange, Green, or Blue. Training weapons are incapable of firing projectiles or releasing chemicals.

Failure to Bring Equipment in Skill Events

Competitors who fail to bring the required material/equipment as specified in the Competitive Event guidelines for any skill used in any event will be allowed to compete but will not earn points for all or part of the skill(s) that require the missing material/equipment.

Equipment Failure

It is the competitor's responsibility to assure that the equipment they bring to the event and use as a part of the event is in good working order. Equipment failure (when the competitor provides the equipment) may result in an inability to judge all or part of an event that involves the use of equipment. This includes battery-operated laptops/devices and flashlights.
