- What do the yellow, green and red cards mean in shotgun shooting?A yellow card is a warning, a green card is a deduction of points and a red card is disqualification.
- How does a shotgun shooter protest a decision?To dispute a call on a target, the athlete raises an arm and says "PROTEST" at once, before the next athlete fires.
- What happens if the shotgun does not fire?A malfunction is a properly loaded shotgun failing to fire, or a faulty cartridge.
- How are shooters grouped, and what if one is late?Athletes shoot in squads of six, drawn by lot so that no squad has two athletes from one nation.
- Who are the officials in trap shooting?A referee runs each round and makes every decision on hit, lost and no target.
