Five Stages:

General Principles:

Steel Challenge scoring is simple: your time is your score!
Each stage consists of five targets, commonly referred to as plates. Four are standard plates, and the fifth is designated as the stop plate.
Each of the standard targets must be hit at least once before hitting the stop plate, and the time stops when the stop plate is hit. Competitors may fire as many rounds as they deem necessary for each string of fire. The worst string on each stage will be thrown out, and the total of the remaining times will be competitor’s score for that stage. All stages will be shot five times with the exception of "Outer Limits" which will be shot four times.
The maximum time allowed for an individual string is 30 seconds.

*Rimfire firearms must be .22 Long Rifle (.22LR) only
*Any ammunition deemed unsafe or likely to damage the targets will be removed from use
*Any standard plate which has not been hit before the stop plate will count as a Miss. Each Miss on a standard plate will result in a 3 (three) second penalty, added to the shooter’s time for that string.
*If the stop plate is not hit, the score for that string is 30 seconds

Rule question came up at the last match about backing up the timer.
Here's the answer:

Steel Challenge Club Information - Steel Challenge Shooting Association Home Page - US Practical Shooting Assocation

Appendix D Scoring Methods

Scoring Methods: Steel Challenge events will be scored by “Sound” (sound-actuated shot timers).
Sound-Actuated Timing: “Sound-actuated” timing uses conven- tional (USPSA-type) shot timers that “hear” each shot. The competitor’s elapsed time stops with the last shot fired. Timers will not be backed up for multiple hits on the stop plate or hits after the stop plate. The time stops with the LAST SHOT FIRED.
 
Great match once again Paul. Weather was perfect,sorry it was the last of the year. I guess we can all dry fire this winter to try to catch you:)

Ooops ! ! ! I screwed up again !
 
My wife and I had a great time, thanks to all who put this together. We will surely be back next year.
 
My scores improved greatly once I realized that my front sight had drifted. It is amazing the difference when you have a straight front site that you actually use. [grin]
