I understand and agree with the concept of tracking progress. My point is not to eliminate the classification process, but to eliminate the various classes within the classification system.
Any shooter can track whether they improve or not based on a general calcification percentage (say whether 40 or 75% of the associated hit factor). There is no real need to give a shooter an award for A, B, C, or whatever in order to make them feel good a night because they won their class. We all know that whoever wins a class in a major match definitively shoots well above his classification.
As for the $1.50, that will still be charged for shooting the classifiers.
