I can't decide whether to shoot this match or not. I'd be all over it, except I won't be classified in time.

if you are willing to drive, DGC is considering a classifier match on 17th Jan. that will give enough time for headquarters to get you classified.

Aww man. I'd definitely drive up there for that, but I'll be out of town that weekend.

I wish ECPS @ CORE would consider a classifier match Jan 16 to help some of us get enough scores to be classified for Alabama Sectional. I need a Saturday classifier match.:thumb:

I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong, if you are desperate, you can shoot the same classifier 6 times and have scores submitted? Of course then you have to wait on uspsa to do their job.

I'm pretty sure that's a no-go. I know I've shot the same classifier at two different matches and, although both scores are on my "recent classifiers" record, USPSA nixed the lower one and it did not count towards my current classification. As far as I know, you must have six scores from six unique classifiers for your initial classification.

Also, I don't think you have to be classified in order to shoot a major match. The Alabama Sectional is being advertised as a Level II match. From what I can tell from a quick-scan of the USPSA classification rules, in a level II or III match your overall performance technically COULD be used as a classification if USPSA deems it a legitimate measurement against the top performers, though you may need Michel, Sevigny, Stoeger, Racaza and Jonasson to show up to make that happen...

Yeah, I asked and was told that I can shoot unclassified, but as someone stated "it's kinda like kissin' your sister..." It might give me a good idea of where I stand as far as true classification, but I think I'm going to hold off and try to shoot another Major match or two this year.

I don't belong in the same sentence as those other 3. Maybe one day, with lots of hard work.

Being classified is not all it is cracked up to be. Once I got classified I never won anything again.

Poor Steven!

 

[Qoholeth]

[Qoholeth]

BTW, for those of you master blasters, I am shedding tears, back here in "C" or lower

 

[Qoholeth]

I got Glocks older than most of you

 

[ChrisC]

the gold barrel does have some kind of intimidation effect. ever wonder why rappers wear so much?

I like how USPSA has a classifier stage in every match. gives opportunity to move up as we shoot and learn along the way. clever.
