I'd have to disagree with giving the shooter (all shooters?) a pass on the FTN. I tell my scoring staff at our sanctioned matches to ASK but do NOT assume in a case like that. I would not want them to just give the shooter the FTN without asking.

When it's brought to my attention, I, as the MD, will then investigate. If the shooter should receive the FTN, I'll track he/she down and tell them they are going to get it.

It's not fair to the other shooters at the match for us to not do the extra work to get it right. Of course, I'd hope that the SO's would get it right to start with! :\
