ISSF Rule 6.4.2.1 It is the responsibility of competitors and
officials to appear
on the range dressed in a manner appropriate to a public event. This
must be
controlled by the Jury.
A. GENERAL
All sports are concerned with the image they present to the public and
media.
Olympic sports, in particular, are judged by whether their competitors
look like
athletes and their officials appear professional. Shooting’s ability to
grow as a sport\
and attract new participants and fans as well as Shooting’s future
status in the
Olympic movement are affected by how its athletes and officials appear
to the public
and media. The ISSF Executive Committee established the ISSF Dress
Code to
provide specific regulations and guidelines for the implementation of
Rule 6.4.2.1.
B. CLOTHING REGULATIONS FOR ATHLETES
1. All clothing worn by competitors in training, elimination,
qualification and finals
round competitions must be clothing that is appropriate for wear by
athletes in
international-class sports competitions. Their clothing must convey positive
images of shooting athletes as competitors in an Olympic sport.
2. During award or other ceremonies, athletes are required to be dressed
in their
official national uniform or national training suits (tops and bottoms
of training or
warm-up uniforms including sport shoes). For teams, all members of the
team
must wear appropriate national uniforms (Rule 6.17.5.5).
3. Rifle competitors must comply with Rifle Clothing Regulations
described in Rule
7.4.6. If they do not wear special shooting trousers or shoes, the
clothing worn
during competitions must comply with this ISSF Dress Code.
4. Pistol competitors must comply with Pistol Clothing Regulations
described in
Rule 8.4.5.
5. Shotgun competitors must comply with Shotgun Clothing Regulations
described
in Rule 9.9.1.
6. The intention of ISSF pistol and shotgun clothing rules is that
athletes in
competitions must wear sports-type clothing that incorporates or
displays
national, NOC or National Federation colors and emblems. Appropriate
clothing
for wear during competitions includes training suits, tracksuits or
warm-up
uniforms, etc. as issued by national federations or NOCs.
7. Prohibited clothing items for competitions and award ceremonies
include blue
jeans, jeans or similar trousers in non-sporting colors, camouflage
clothing,
sleeveless T-shirts, shorts that are too short, ragged cut-off shorts,
all types of
sandals, trousers with patches or holes as well as shirts or trousers
with nonsporting
or inappropriate messages (See Rule 6.10.1). Sporting colors should
be national uniform colors. If national colors are not worn,
non-sporting colors
that should be avoided are camouflage, plaids, khaki, olive or brown.
8. Changing clothes must be done in designated areas and not on the
field of play
(no changing on the firing points or in the ranges).

9. All clothing must comply with ISSF Eligibility and Sponsorship
Rules
regarding the display of manufacturer and sponsor marks.
C. CLOTHING REGULATIONS FOR OFFICIALS
1. The ISSF Dress Code also applies to ISSF Jury Members
and National
Technical Officials including Range Officers and Shotgun Referees.
2. Competition officials must wear clothing that reflects the
professional nature of
their responsibilities. While they are on duty, Jury Members must wear
the red
Jury vests that are available from ISSF Headquarters. While they are on
duty,
Shotgun Referees must wear the blue Referee vests that are available
from
ISSF Headquarters.
3. Competition officials may not wear any prohibited clothing items that
are
described in paragraph B.7. above.
D. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
1. ISSF Equipment Control, Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun Juries are
responsible for
enforcing ISSF Clothing Regulations and the ISSF Dress Code (Rule
6.4.2.1)
2. During ISSF Championships, ISSF Juries will issue written warnings
with
requests to correct clothing violations for first violations. Athletes
who receive
written warnings and who do not correct clothing violations (change
clothing)
will be disqualified. Juries will normally give warnings during
equipment
inspection or training. Juries may allow a competitor to complete a
pre-event
training series or stage (shotgun or 25m pistol) before changing if
sufficient time
to change is not available. No athlete will be permitted to participate
in a
qualification or finals round competition or in an awards ceremony while
wearing
inappropriate or prohibited clothing.
Note: Before and during the competitions, Juries shall use the Dress
/ Advertising
Code Violation Warning Form.
