A Team Manager may be helped by other team officials (such as coaches, physiotherapists, psychologists, etc.). There may not be more than one team official on the field of play for each athlete competing at the time. However, the maximum number of team officials on the field of play at the same time is four. This may be increased by one official per category if the Member Association has athletes competing in more than two categories at the same time.

The team official, unless competing, can only be in the designated areas of the field of play as follows:
  • If an official's area has been designated on the Finals field of play, only one team official per athlete/team can be on the field of play and only in the official's area during shooting.
  • In all other cases the team officials can only be behind the waiting line unless representing the athlete at the target or assisting a para-athlete with an equipment failure or a medical reason on the shooting line.
