This all sounds like you don't care of Production division, but for some reason want other Production shooters shoot something else...

Is there anything needed to be changed in the rules to make you shoot SS again? Because that is what you really asking for...

How many Limited and Open shooters you've had at those matches? Picking a handful of matches and pulling random conclusions out of that won't give you real picture of competitor's desires. E.g. the CO shooters who don't want to break an expensive optics already have Limited division. So, I still don't really see what you want to achieve by making Production division be more like Limited. The data from low cap states will not show you if their competitors want to shoot low cap or not, but it will show you how many of those competitors have to shoot low cap. It all adds to the whole picture.

I am talking of the other way around. Bottom line - you have to train specifically for bot cases and it takes some time to switch back and forth and people who don't have to switch have some advantage. Not sure what exactly that is clear from... Looking at the results from non-capacity restricted states does not prove anything. Even area matches tend to be hosted in non-restricted states, even the same area includes states with capacity restrictions. But really, what exactly you want to achieve by increasing Production capacity? What is wrong with existing 10 round capacity? Other than people not willing to learn to do these damn reloads...

You are relaying what you've seen other competitors were doing. I have first-hand experience with that. If you count the capacity-restricted states, it probably won't be a small minority. And even if people don't like them, they have to live and deal with that - in many aspects. Including subconscious reflexes and muscle memory related to reloading after 10 rounds... People from the high capacity state have no idea how is that.

Yeah, especially the "break the law" part of it... But 10 round divisions is a different kind of game and reloading is part of the challenge. It will be very unfortunate for Production division to go away.

The MD can pass on acting at "unrecognized divisions" as per 6.2.2 or he can act on it using rule 6.2.5: Where a Division is unavailable or deleted, or where a competitor fails to declare a specific Division prior to the commencement of a match, the competitor will be placed in the Division which, in the opinion of the Range Master, most closely identifies with the competitor’s equipment.If, in the opinion of the Range Master, no suitable Division is available, the competitor will shoot the match for no score. You can't put Prod competitors into SS division, but you can put both Prod and SS into the Limited one. The L10 and the Prod are the special ones. They allow participants from the states with capacity laws to compete competitively. Kind of...

That is what APPENDIX A2 is for.

Somehow everyone forgot about APPENDIX A2 in the USPSA rule book. There are requirements for minimum competitors per Division. They are only a recommendation for L1 and L2 matches, but that does allow an MD to move competitors from the low-attended divisions. E.g. low-attended Revolver, SS and Prod can be all moved to a Limited to be recognized at a given match. Though I don't see that done automatically by PractiScore, because there are too many unknown things in the mess... But for tracking purposes this can be handled as declared vs. actual division in the PractiScore match results.

In the game invented by Cooper and all there was no gun race. Also there were other things, like testing holster retention by roll over. The point is that sport had evolved and branched out into several different games targeting different gun skills and mind set. It is obvious that the low-cap Production and Revolver divisions require different tactics than Open and PCC. Not to mention that since Cooper's declaration of the IPSC sport there were other disciplines added for Shotgun, Rifle, etc. If you are believe in a fantasy division game. By all means jump on the gun race train and shoot Open. But that doesn't mean others have to share your beliefs. Before PractiScore you had to have access to the results database or ask MD for the combined results. The PractiScore website for sure added to the "a fantasy division" misconception by having the "Combined" results a default view for the USPSA/IPSC match results and calling them "Overall". Mainly because developer who did that wasn't an USPSA/IPSC shooter. It is been hated enough that several shooting sports been requesting to remove it all together... Except that in many cases you have to actually play by the "a fantasy division rules" and bring the gun that would be 100% competitive to be 100% true. There are exceptions from that at "smaller" matches, but they only confirm the "rule". Otherwise we would have seen proof of that in the back-to-back Nationals match results.

You can look at anything you want. But even with PractiScore-created results is the only official ones and the ezwinscore is long gone, the hoa is not someting recognized in the rules of the sport. You can use it for bragging if that makes you feel good or as a tool ot compare your performance with other shooters, given that you do realise that each division is its own kind of game.

Take a look at this one https://community.practiscore.com/t/practiscore-log-app-info/215

For results purposes PractiScore does NOT need to do any work. Anyone can add any "toy" or "provisional" divisions they like at any match. Just convert your "toy" divisions to Open before posting your USPSA activity... Another option is to tag such divisions as custom categories.

I'm pretty sure Alex has some good stock of required parts. He will have to wait for the new components, but that should not increase the lead time for your orders.

It is next to the category results. https://www.facebook.com/eugene.practiscore/posts/pfbid022FuGTbo9fFZcSV83e2wF4PYCjGojtqUkaERPCJw4GtgkGsaNfb3CSG5V8TnrimqSl

See. Using PractiScore Competitor app has its benefits...

The next one is the top Stage 6 run in POL division from a pre-match - 5 sec better than best runs of the top Production guys...

Which scoring software are you referring to? Even if it was missed at the stage, it is not a rocket science to check all 30 stages at the end of the day and look for abnormal times or scores...

Even for USPSA, after scoresheet is signed off, by the letter of the rules, someone would need to fill in a formal 3rd party arbitration in that case.

For my curiosity. Would you elaborate what issue(s) you have with the PractiScore Competitor app.

Well, go get it, if even as an one time thanks gesture. But who knows, you may find it useful for other things...

Let's see if I could keep these results it up to date...

Hmm. Somebody sideloaded, eh?

We will see about that one...
