shootingchef Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 World Shoot 2014 to be held in Frostproof, FL. The selection process is set and approved by the BOD. I am pleased to see the criteria set for all divisions and classes. Here is the World Shoot Team Selection Policy: 1. This policy shall be effective Jan 1, 2012. 2. This policy shall be applied to USPSA National Handgun Teams listed below: - Open Open Lady Open Junior Open Senior Standard Standard Lady Standard Senior Production Production Lady Production Junior Classic (Single Stack) Revolver 3. Nothing in this policy indicates a commitment or decision by USPSA to sponsor any teams at any specific level of amount. 4. National Handgun Team members shall be selected through accumulation of points. 5. Points shall be the percentage of match placement in that division in any eligible event. By way of example, if a member shoots 100.000%, that member will be deemed to have 100 points. If a member shoots 87.098%, that member will be deemed to have 87.098 points. If a member places first in category with 80.098 %, that member will have 80.098 points. 6. Division and/or category points may only be earned in the division and/or category shot at eligible matches. (Example: Production division points are only earned from shooting Production division at an eligible USPSA Handgun National Championship or US IPSC National Championship match). 7. Division team selection will use results shot only in that division. Standard team selection will use only Limited or Standard division results. Open team selections will use only Open division results. Production team selection will use only Production division results. Classic team selection will use only Single Stack or Classic division results. Revolver team selection will use only Revolver divisions results. 8. For the purposes of this selection policy, Categories are intended to comply with the IPSC definitions. For example, a Junior is defined as "A competitor who is under the age of 21 on the first day of the 2014 IPSC World Shoot". 9. In order to minimize any possibility of inadvertent database oversight, competitors in contention for any potential Category team are solely responsible to identify themselves to the USPSA Director of National Range Officer Institute/Team Manager prior to the start of the 2012 Nationals match. Failure of the competitor to identify himself/herself as such may result in being excluded from team selection. 10. Points shall be earned in the following manner: The points from the best three of the following four qualification matches will be added together. 2012 USPSA National Championship for the specific division selected 2012 US IPSC National Championship 2013 USPSA National Championship for the specific division selected 2013 US IPSC National Championship 11. A member may shoot as many qualification matches as they desire, but only the three matches with the highest point total shall count. It is the responsibility of the member to verify his/her point total and bring any discrepancies to the attention of USPSA HQ prior to the announced deadline. 12. Under this policy, in order to earn all available points, members must shoot a minimum of three matches, but nothing in this policy shall limit the minimum or maximum number of matches that a member elects to shoot. 13. 2014 World Shoot team slots will be offered to: The highest ranked competitor based on qualification points. Selection will continue in descending qualification order until three team positions have been formally accepted. The fourth team position will be appointed by the USPSA Director of National Range Officer Institute/Team Manager. 14. Any ties in qualification point positions affecting Items 13a will be broken, if necessary, using the results of qualification match(es) in which the tied competitors each finished the match(es) with a positive score. The results of the most recent such match will be used. If necessary, results from the next most recent such match(es) will be used until the tie(s) is/are sufficiently resolved. 15. Should any team position become vacant at a point in time where the application of the provisions of Section 13 and 14 is no longer functional or feasible, the USPSA Director of National Range Officer Institute/Team Manager shall have the authority to name a suitable, available, and willing competitor to fill that position. 16. Any competitor who earns a US Team slot will be expected to represent Team USA for their respective Division/Category, even if not financially supported by USPSA. Team agreements will be distributed with more detailed info regarding responsibilities and expectations. 17. Following the 2014 World Shoot, the Board of Directors shall reexamine this policy for potential use for the following World Shoot. The BOD may, at its discretion, continue, amend, or redefine this policy as it sees fit. World Shoot Individual Slot Distribution Policy 1. All US slots for the 2014 World Shoot will be earned based on the points system utilized in the current World Shoot Team Selection Policy above. 2. World Shoot Teams listed in item 2 of this policy will be given 1st priority of 2014 World Shoot slots. 3. Remaining WS slots will be awarded to individual competitors with the highest points total using the World Shoot Team Selection points system. - For example, after the final slot is awarded to the US Teams, the competitor with the highest point total who did not qualify for a team will be offered a slot. 4. The points for individuals will be posted and available for a reasonable period of time prior to slot distribution. It is the responsibility of the member to verify his/her point total and bring any discrepancies to the attention of USPSA HQ prior to the announced deadline. 5. Competitors may combine different Division results to obtain points totals. 6. Non-team slots awarded are NOT division specific. In other words, a competitor who earns a slot based on their Production point total may compete at the World Shoot in a different division. 7. Ten (10) WS slots will be assigned to the Regional Director to use at his discretion. The USPSA Board of Directors retains the authority to refine or modify these policies if it deems such action necessary or appropriate, and nothing in this policy statement shall establish a contractual obligation on the part of USPSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It is likely that USA will get less than 100 slots for this match (based on the last WS), 48 of those slots will go to the National Team members leaving about the same number for individual entrants. The policy for the Teams appears very similar to that used for the last WS, but it has been expanded to the individuals as well. At first glance I think this is a fair way of allotting the slots for the individual competitors as there will probably be over 1000 that would like to shoot this match from USA alone. I expect that demand for the places at the four qualifying matches will be enormous, hopefully the match organizers can make as much room as possible to accommodate the extra demand for these qualifiers.

shootingchef Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Either your shooting good or working the match. I wish I knew the dates. I would like to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB33 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Frank plans to have the USPSA IPSC Nationals the week following the 2014 World Shoot. Same stages as the World Shoot, great for everyone that won't get a chance to shoot the 1st match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That's fine for the 2014 IPSC Nationals. Anyone know the details for the 2012 IPSC Nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I spoke to some people at the DoubleTap match and few seemed away of that this years US-IPSC and USPSA Nationals will count toward the Team and slot selection criteria for the next World Shoot. If you miss both matches this year then you won't qualify for a slot on the team (unless you get the 4th slot which is selected by USPSA). If you miss one of these matches then you have no margin for error on the remaining three as best three of the four are counted.

mhop Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The last two world shoot team's have been decided the 2 years previous of the world shoot. You can't wait till the current world shoot year to decide a team at that point you don't have enough time to schedule travel and everything that goes into a match that size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I spoke to some people at the DoubleTap match and few seemed away of that this years US-IPSC and USPSA Nationals will count toward the Team and slot selection criteria for the next World Shoot.

If you miss one of these matches then you have no margin for error on the remaining three as best three of the four are counted. It isn't just team slots. It's also slots to shoot the main match. We're expecting to have significantly more interest than available slots for this match. If you want to go, you have to shoot at least one match this year, either the USPSA Nats, or IPSC Nats. You have to shoot at least one IPSC Nats to qualify for a spot in the WS. There are 600 spots available for the IPSC Nationals this year. No guarantees on next year. If you have any interested at all in shooting in the World Shoot read the WS policy. If you have questions contact your AD. You need to do it quick though. IPSC Nats are coming up in a couple months.

BritinUSA Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm sure I saw this policy on the USPSA web-site at some point but I can't find it now... It might be worth re-posting it on the front page somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
