I nearly forgot about it, but a certain lady told us about the time when she was DQ'd for breaking 180 in one of her first matches. Only she apparently turned around to face the RO while waiting for the "if you are finished..." and swept everyone watching, including spectators and her squad. Everyone ducked!

She went on to be one of the best woman open division shooters in the world, doing particularly well at the Philippines and South Africa world shoots. Now I get to attend her courses from time-to-time.

Expect your mind to turn into jelly at the sound of the buzzer for the next few matches too. But it does get better with each match. I still feel the adrenaline in anticipation of the buzzer and thus have been known to still suffer occasional brain-farts that affect my shooting plan. It's part of what makes this sport so fun and exciting.
