When I put in my points I did mention which times I was DC. Right now getting into the "world championship " is a participation reward. I'd like to see it be skill based. Best of the best overall.
Not some ss who lived in a geographically advantageous area to get match points.
I agree with this, I know of a couple of people who have a lot of time on their hands and the means to travel who shoot a lot of matches yet are still ranked SS and never even place in their classification at a points match. I think match results should factor into getting a slot for the big events ( Nationals, World) then when there are slots left fill them.

It really is a cluster. I still don't get how The IDPA "World Championship" was limited to 400 entries yet the USPSA Area 6 match a couple of months ago had just over 400 participants. Hell I looked up the numbers from the USPSA Nationals which were held over a week down in Fl. and they had as many entries in the Production division as the IDPA World Championship does in all divisions.

I got an email from IDPA saying I had been approved for the match and to log on then pay. I go to Practiscore and it says I have been withdrawn from the match, I go back to my email and there is a second email stating there had been a technical error and all applicants had been mistakenly approved. Talk about going from a high to a low in the blink of an eye.

I had 8 points and knew I would be put on the waitlist but I’m seeing where people who had 12 points also got put on the waitlist. They are making it where you have to spend a ton of money on travel, fees, etc to guarantee a spot unless you get one of the reserved slots for industry/sponsored shooters.

I recently started shooting USPSA after shooting IDPA for a couple of years and I am still unclassified in USPSA as I have only shot two classifiers that have been uploaded. I want to sign up for a match to be held in March ASAP to get on a particular squad but i plan on shooting a club match every month between now and then so I am sure I will have a classification by match day. Is there a problem signing up as unclassified then showing up classified? Can I modify my classification after signing up on Practiscore and how do I go about doing that?

I shot the Nationals on Thursday the 13th of September and I can attest to the fact that it was brutal shooting 18 stages in one day. I ended up 4th SSP Sharpshooter getting a match bump to expert. I was totally exhausted and nearly dehydrated from the 95* temps with high humidity even though I was guzzling water. I do have to say it was a great experience and I met some really nice people from all over the US and abroad.

I am new to USPSA from IDPA, I use Salomon SpeedCross 4 in IDPA. I did pick up a pair of Salomon Speed Spike shoes for a really good deal on Amazon but they are illegal for IDPA. Does anyone use these in USPSA for really soft ground ranges or just stick with cleats?
How many ranges have the facilities to host Nationals
in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

I think Talladega only has 15 action pistol bays at their facility, granted many of the bays are large enough to put two stages in a single bay. I shot the IDPA Nationals there last year and they had 18 stages in 10 bays.
