OK, try this.
Get rid of 3 poppers.
So now you have 6 paper and 3 steel. 15 shots. Medium COF. Now do your mandatory reload stage.
Try this description.
Facing uprange............(the rest of what you said)
Engage T1 - T3 with 2 rounds each, make a mandatory reload and engage T4 - T6 with 2 rounds each. Steel may be engaged with any array.
I do like your revised also though.
-
It's considered a long course (more than 16 rounds), and you can't stipulate reloads.
Read rule 1.1.5 and 1.2.
Heck, read Chapter 1 "Course Design".

Let's see....my yellow can hunt ducks, pheasants, geese. Until my wife catches me, I know what I'm going to be working with her next on. Fall is here in MN, but I've got all winter to get her into "bikini hunting" shape.

I don't know which is more frightening, the actual pictures, or that there are 35 pages of them.

I have a Minnesota CCW permit and still get delayed by NICS. Because I was born in Germany. (Army brat). I've called them in the past to get a unique PIN and was told that probably won't solve the issue. It's usually only a 24 hour delay, so I've learned to live with it.

A father, son and grandson went to the country club for their weekly round of golf. Just as they reached the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approached them.
She explained that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that called him away and asked the trio whether she could join them.
Naturally, the guys all agreed.
Smiling, the blonde thanked them and said, 'Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you want to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear, tell off-color stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But, I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don't try to coach me on how to play my shots.'
With that the guys agreed to relax and invited her to drive first.
All eyes were fastened on her shapely behind as she bent to place her ball on the tee. She then took her driver and hit the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green.
The father's mouth was agape. 'That was beautiful,' he said.
The blonde put her driver away and said, 'I really didn't get into it, and I faded it a little.'
After the three guys hit their drives and their second shots, the blonde took out an eight iron and lofted the ball within five feet of the hole. (She was closest to the pin.)
The son said, 'Damn, lady, you played that perfectly.'
The blonde frowned and said, 'It was a little weak, but even an easy seven would have been too much club. I've left a tricky little putt.' She then tapped in the five-footer for a birdie.
Having the honors, she drove first on the second hole, knocked the heck out of the ball, and it landed nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway.
For the rest of the round the statuesque blonde continued to amaze the guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole.
When they arrived at the 18th green, the blonde was three under par, and had a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par.
She turned to the three guys and said, 'I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I'd really like to break 70 on this course.
If any one of you can tell me how to make par on this hole I'll take him back to my apartment, pour some 35-year-old Single Malt Strath Mill Scotch in him, fix him a steak dinner and then show him a very good time the rest of the night.'
The yuppie son jumped at the thought! He strolled across the green, carefully eyeing the line of the putt and finally said, 'Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup.'
The father knelt down and sighted the putt using his putter as a plumb. 'Don't listen to the kid, darling', you want to hit it softly 10 inches to the right and let it run left down that little hogback, so it falls into the cup.'
The old gray-haired grandfather walked over to the blonde's ball, picked it up and handed it to her and said, 'That's a gimme, sweetheart.'
The blonde smiled and said, 'Your car or mine?'

It doesn't really suck turning 52. What really sucks is that my youngest kid turned 30 last Thursday. Where's the geratol and my walker.

The RM must be called in for a DQ. Rule 7.1.6. At some Level I matches the MD & RM are the same person. That may be why the MD was called over. The RO could have been explaining the rule for the DQ. Which as George said is 10.4.2
Hope this helps.

One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!'
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the hell is this?' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out.
'April', he hollered into the bathroom, 'Why did you put Talcum Powder in my underwear?'
She replied with a snicker. 'It's not talcum powder; it's 'Miracle Grow'!!!

The contract is for 12 mil this year, and 13 mil next.
Living in MN I've always been a Vikings fan, but.......
That's 25 million that could be used for big holes in our defense IMO.
The question is can he stay healthy enough to earn his money?

Thanks for the clarification. I respect your position and dedication to the sport. I know that you put in some long hours, and had to make some difficult decisions to make this match a success. I also respect the fact that there was no internet access at the site. Hell, I didn't have cell coverage untill we hit Omaha every day.
Maybe in the future the match admin staff could ask the shooter after the bump, what is your classification in open? This can always be verified if he/she is in the running for an award, or top pick at a prize table.
I doubt anyone bumped from production to Open Minor has even finished in the top 4 at at major match. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This prompts another question. Is there a way to download registered competitor classifications prior to a major match? Knowing in advance that internet access will be spotty or not available.
BTW, here's the reference in the rulebook.
6.4.2 Only current USPSA classifications may be used in determining Class awards.
-
Only in Iowa.
-
The reason I asked the original question was, I'd heard 3 different things at the match.
1. Bump to open B class. Which is what happened. Didn't effect outcome of other B standings though.
2. Knock down 2 classes in open, which would have made him a D open shooter.
3. U class in open. This is where he should have been. (Amidon email answer).
-
Bumped to Open at Chrono. Which happened 5 - 7 stages into the match.
-
OK then, no prior classifiers shot in Open.
He was scored in Open, as a "B" class shooter. He is a B class prod. shooter.
Again, he went open because of an illegal production gun mod, that was caught during the match.
-
A "B" class production shooter gets bumped to Open for a illegal mod. in the middle of a match.
Never shot open before, so no classification on file.
So, is he now a "B" class open shooter? Or unclassified in open?
I can't find the answer in the rule book.
Edited to add; Please cite your reference in your answer.
-
OK, here's mine. In no particular order.
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
This list is subject to change, depending on my mood. Throw in some Zeppelin, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Ten Years After, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc.

Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men.
or
Tom Hanks in Apollo 13

or..... load up one of those fancy extended "clips" and insert a green tracer before the armor piercing rounds, and a red one before the frangibles. Or was is a red tracer before the incendiary rounds and a green one before the black talons.
Ah crap, just throw the thing at the bad guy, and run like hell.

I hate that it's Saturday, and I missed the Friday flame wars. Especially since it was open topic.
The best gaming opportunities you've seen on a stage?

OK, one of my first stage designs. "It's A Ringer" On start, shooter was supposed to pick up a horseshoe any carry it throughout the COF. I didn't stipulate that it had to be carried in the weak hand. So while walking to my squads next course, I pass by the one I designed. Sure enough, I watched people hook it to their mag pouches in order to shoot freestyle. WTF! My intention was to have it carried, so the COF had to be shot strong hand.
I threw a fit with the RO running the stage, and she gently pointed out to me that it said nothing about carry position in the WSB.
Lesson learned. A lot of yuks from the squad as I walked away.
I have since changed it to read; horseshoe must be carried in weak hand only, unsupported, in a natural carry position. Horseshoe may be placed on barrel only while reloading.
If you don't spell it out exactly, it will be gamed.
