As an RO what do you do if you have to run someone who also doesn't have an RPAL?

Is there anything spelled out in the IPSC rules regarding shooting with/without an RPAL ?
Black Badge course isn't for new shooters, it is stipulated an individual should have experience before taking the course. This is not a guaranteed to pass course. People often fail to pass through.
Having said that, the BB couse is great, instructors are some of the best in the field.

The said RO is under the supervision of the MD or the CRO or the Range Master....
Although I will say, I have done the PAL and RPAL Course a few years ago, just haven't had it sent in yet.
When ROing we generally have 2 people on the line with the shooter. One with the timer and one observing as well, then taking down scores.

AWESOME! Thats my range. I will definitely be there!
If you're in Carlton Place, EOSC is about 1hr 10 mins away, closer than EOSC.
I shoot at EOSC, Eganville and SFFGC.
No hotel required.
Congrats on getting your RPAL - you're in for some fun! IPSC is a lot of fun!
As far as having stuff in stock in Ottawa, Millbrook generally has a good inventory, they recently started carrying IMI who make some decent poly mag holders. I've found getting stuff is often easier by ordering online, as it usually comes down to when I want it nobody has stock locally. SFRC is not that far from you, they often have good stuff, and it's just a fun drive down 15.
Since you already have a holster, you're basically gonna need mag holders, some extra mags and possibly a 1 or 2 piece belt, oh and make sure you get an uplula loader too. For mag holders, it's either polymer (blade tech, IMI etc), soft (Tyr) or magnetic (Ghost, CR etc.). For a belt, the 2 piece ones are nice, an inner runs thru the pant belt loops, the outer piece has all your junk on it and velcros to the inner. A stiff 1 piece also works well, tho you have to put everything on and take it off every time you use it.
For mags, 6 is about the minimum for ipsc, tho I carry 10 to any match and practice. Even tho a stage may only have say 14 targets for 28 rounds, you may do 3 mag changes depending on the stage layout. One of the stages as the recent RA match had a couple of guys doing 4 mag changes.
If you're interested, we run an IPSC / Practial Shooting club at Stittsville, we practice Sundays all year round and Wednesdays April to Oct. We have a ton of fun with pistol and rifle (and the occasional shotgun). PM me if you want any more info.
