(h)The Host Club shall signify if bench rotation is to be used either after each match or at a class and/or range change. (i)The name and address of the secretary of the Club. 2. Preliminary. There may or may not be a ceremony preliminary to the Tournament Events. If there is one, the Range Officer shall wait until it is over before he calls the first Relay of the first Match. The Target Detail may still be on the range, if the preliminaries do not require an empty range. The Host Club shall be responsible for the conduct of the event. It also provides for the orderly registration of contestants; the apportionment of fees; the preparation of forms; the handling, scoring and posting of targets; the preparation and posting of interim bulletins, the handling of protest, and the other items incident to well conducted tournament. The Host Club shall absorb all match costs; range help, statistical help, match result bulletins, prematch, announcements and advertisements. Wind Flags. It is recommended, but not mandatory, that the Host Club furnish wind flags, but may not post or adjust flags after the first match of the day except for changes in yardage. Flags must be no higher than level of benchtop to bottom of target. The Range Officer may order a flag removed or dropped upon verification that the flag is interfering with a shooter. Posted flags must be left on the range until the completion of the match. 3. Registration Cards. All Clubs holding Registered Matches must retain registration cards for a period of one year. 4.
