SmittyFL Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 A couple of us are interested in attending the Nationals this year. I understand the waiting list opens May 1, and I understand the deposit stuff. My question is, how long does it take to find out if you got a slot or not? Obviously if you're going you need flight, hotel, car, time off work, etc. There is only about 4 months between the waiting list opening and the match, not a lot of time. If they let you know in a couple weeks, no problem. If it takes a couple months, it isn't really enough notice to go anyway. Anybody know???

Ron Ankeny Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Not to hijack the thread, but what about those unused slots that clubs have. Our little club got a slot and we don't intend to use it. Can we just offer it to other clubs or do we turn it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 i believe if a shooter won a slot that uspsa would have already made the call. i know i got my call a month or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it should be distributed per your section guidelines (I know you don't have a Section Coordinator, you likely don't have by-laws either?). Anyway...it should go back to the section, to be distributed to the next club in line...and if not used there...get it back to USPSA. We could use it in Ohio.

Ron Ankeny Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 We are an independent club so there isn't a section to be concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 As an independent club...you shooters earned it (even if a shooter just shot one match, he should be be able to take it). If your members won't be using it...send it back please. The next club in line (by mission count) would like to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I signed up a year or two and was notified just a few weeks before the match. I was not able to get off work due to the short notice. I have always been told that if you signed up you would most likely get a spot. The way this years match is set up I would think that there would be even more slots available.
