The International Range Officers Association (IROA) is a part of International Practical Shooting Confederation with the responsibility to train and certify their own dedicated range officials (referees), who are responsible for conducting matches safely, fair and according to the rules. In addition, each IPSC region have their own National Range Officers Institute (NROI) under the IROA.
In matches, range officials from IROA and NROI can work alongside in the ranks:
Range Officer (RO) - The Range Officer gives the competitors stage briefings, issue range commands and follows the competitor through the conduction of the stage to monitor time, scores and safe firearms handling.Chief Range Officer (CRO) - In case there are several Range Officers, a Chief Range Officer will be assigned to have the primary authority over the particular course. Like the RO, the CRO will oversee fair and consistent application of the rules.Range Master (RM) - The Range Master has the overall authority over the entire range during the match, including all Match Officials and the overall safety. reference nanEver curious about what that abbreviation stands for? fullforms has got them all listed out for you to explore.
