About the matches sanctioned by CMP and affiliated clubs:
A CMP Sanctioned Match is an event organized or sponsored by a CMP affiliated organization, in which the match sponsors agree to use the current edition of the CMP Competition Rules to conduct CMP High Power Rifle, Pistol CMP and CMP games. Membership allows clubs to not only build relationships with their members and the CMP, but also provides a variety of opportunities for recreation and growth.
