Chills1994 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 proximity to Illinois has nothing to do with it. I had lunch with the MO coordinator on Wednesday. Chris Thomas said it was a matter of mission count/activity points. So from that we surmised that there were just not enough people shooting single stack at the Missouri local/club matches and the Fall Classic in 2010. We kinda ran the numbers knowing that Missouri got 4, Ohio and either Kentucky or Tennessee each got 4 also. So ASSuming 4 per state...50 times 4 equals 200...and you just know that Hawaii and Alaska are not going to use up all four of their slots. long story short....I would not fret any over getting a slot come Feb 1st. So I am with Corey Estill (steel1212) on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 if you are that worried, then you could try emailing Michael Voigt to request one of the 8 slots he has as USPSA President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying that since MO is close, lots of people would probably want to shoot the match, because it's an easy drive...nothing about slots awarded etc. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bshooter Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think the Southern states will have more mission count with single stack, basically because they shoot all year round. I still feel the slots will fill up and you will see them add an extra day. I may be wrong but I would like to see this thing really take off. It is the 100th year anniversary your know. Bshooter.

Chills1994 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 the section coordinator ....IIRC...said only 17 people from Missouri asked him about a slot. how many people from Missouri shot it last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 In the past two day format we have shot on Thursday and Friday, staff on Wednesday, with Saturday in reserve in case of really bad weather. Has that changed? Yes we are going back to the orignal format. We tried the day and half for 2 years. Didn't work out as well as I hoped. Hi Russell, It may be early but I have a squading question. Traditionally, squad requests for the SSC were done by sending in applications together. How can we form a squad with slotted and non-slotted shooters? TIA, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdavis385 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Chuck, Since I do the squadding, I'll answer this and Russell can chime if he has another solution. Of course, Friday is going to be the easiest day to do such squadding, but as along as you make a clear note on your entry forms and get them within a day or two of the application from the general shooting community having access to the entry forms this should not be an issue. The large the squadding request the less likely it is to take place. I believe we are going to limit squads to 10 people and have 12 squads per day; or we could do 12 people and have 10 squads; sort of depends on the number of stages, clearance time, etc. Bottom line is that only once or twice have we not been able to take care of squadding requests and I don't see that changing due to the slots. Just remember that Saturday will go fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for squadding, is it just pick a day and go from there or will we be able to pick squad numbers via online squadding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chills1994 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 as far as my assumptions go on slots per state, that's right. that's exactly what they were....ASSumptions, based on averages... knowing full well that in figuring an average some states would get more slots. some would get less. were the SC's able to see or hear what other states got? are the mission counts posted up somewhere online for all to see? I am curious as to how many slots Illinois got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoot Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 We have a lot of SS shooters and miscellaneous division shooters that remain loyal to SS. Friends here in the St. Louis region that will have no chance at a slot. 4 slot's mo and 4 slot's IL . I am telling those that ask that where they may have heard in the past it was not an issue to wait this year will be dependent upon a short window. An extra day or not decision will be very tough. I think getting the applications out quickly will be the key. I plan on handing out the applications and telling them now or never. This is going to be a great match to participate in no matter what division or even discipline you shoot in the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gundry Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Question about slots and squad requests: I received a slot, but a good friend who I have squadded with at SS Nat's the last 2 years did not. Because my app is due by 1/31, and his cannot be in before 2/1, is there a decent chance a handwritten squad request with each app will be fulfilled? Or is there a different SOP for this type of request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
