[QUOTE=karandras;5957959]Self scoring pretty much makes point 5 in the scoring section of the first post invalid doesn't it?

Answers to your questions:-

The rule "5" you refer to is the one that allows a competitor to protest a score - you are probably thinking that nobody would protest against a score they have awarded to themselves - but this rule is there to allow any shooter to challenge any score shot by any competitor, so it is important that it stays included in the rules for various reasons.

We also have the option to ask to see shot cards at random or if we would like to check some cards for any reason at all - and it is possible that if we amend a score after we check the cards - then the competitor may choose to protest and so the mechanism to do so must remain in place.

Our aim with the MPL 6 yard rules is to keep them simple and as short as possible.

We do not want to repeat all of the MPL rules for the 6 yard competition - only highlight the bare bones differences and give enough information for the majority of all competitors to work with.

It will always be possible to pick lots of individual "what if's", but we would rather like competitors to have a good look at the rules from time to time - or at least to check something they are unsure of - and if they can't read and /or find what they are looking for then they can always ask and we will ensure nobody has any questions about the rules that remain unanswered.

The MPL rules have stood the test of time and been updated when needed, so I doubt there is anything a competitor to the MPL 6 yard series can't see the answer for either in the MPL 6 yard rules or the main MPL rules.
