NRAActionPistol Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Called the Holiday Inn for reservations today. They said that they didn't have a rate or block of rooms for the Bianchi Cup. ?? That should NOT be the case, the Room Block is in place, if this happens get the name of the person that states this, as it is totally inaccurate.

jaffo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I travel for a living and can arrange to "work" in the area while this is going on. I'm interested in watching but know absolutely nothing about the sport(or practically nothing). I want to learn. Would this be set up for spectators???

gm iprod Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 There are areas for spectators to see most of what is going on most of the time. It is best if you find someone at each range to let you know what is the deal. Easily enough done as most of us are looking for something to distact us a little.

gm iprod Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Tom, What team match allows 4 members per team? Or should that read 4 x 3 member teams, seeing as Open is a three person team event?? Or if 3 x 3 then the original number of 14 would be correct? What about metallic sight or is that included in the above? But they are a 2 person team. Production? Team event for Iron man? You have Junior and Ladies as the 2 person teams. What if the country is able to put up 4 juniors and 4 ladies, a struggle right now, but possible. A limit on 17, hell I would just like to get that many from here up there. To get them all in the team would be brilliant. Or are you lot scared we could turn up with 50 people and win it all.

Action Pistolero Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The word I got was no 3 man teams. Changed it to 4 man teams and 2 man teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Is that for Bianchi Cup only or for the Worlds as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 As far as I know it is just for Bianchi but I would assume it would pertain to the Worlds also. Good question to ask. We still have another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 No we don't, we have 4 months, after that I expect we will be starting to get guys together for training and selection matches. Criteria has to be set before we can start the process. Something for dicsussions in Columbia I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I only have one question.Why? Coatesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRAActionPistol Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I only have one question.Why? Coatesy All, In order to stay in line with the rest of the NRA Pistol Championships, we removed the (3) three person team, the Bianchi Cup was the only Championship that had a (3) three person team, and we have all heard the reasons why a (3) three person existed. Now we are in line with the remaining Pistol Championships, we will try to maintain that order, and will not make changes any longer for any (1) one Competitor, Group or Location. As far as the World shoot, the hosting Country/Sponsor will submit the Program based on the needs or restrictions of that location, the Program will be approved by us here at NRA HQ. 100 competitors have signed up in the 1st 30 days!

Pardon me, but didn't you pick 3 three person teams and alternates? The first shooter on team B now becomes the 4th on team A. Sorry, don't see the problem. NRA takes your finishes from the past 2 Bianchi's and adds them. Then they pick their teams starting from the lowest number. As an example, if 2009 was included in the next world match, I would get 7 points from my 2009 7th place finish plus 3 points from my 2010 3rd place finish for a total of 10 points. Since Doug and Bruce swapped places in 2009 and 2010 they would each have 3 points. Have 4 matches in a month and require those that want to be eligible shoot atleast 2 of them. Take their to two finishes and add them together. Lowest number goes first and so on. Then you are done in a month and you have 3 for everything else. Just a thought. Where you staying in MI? Red Roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Kevin, As it happens I do have a beer, cold, like your weather and yes I would like some shade. I now understand why the Bianchi Cup (being your nationals) needs to have 4 shooter teams to be the same as the rest of the NRA pistol competitions, which actually makes sense. I just thought the NRA had just decided out of the blue to change tack without reason. It has happened before. No problems in getting 4 shooters per team together, just maybe a problem getting 3 teams of 4. Now as to MI, there maybe a huge fly in the ointment at present. I will email later when some details have been hammered through. Still going to the Cup, maybe not MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Now as to MI, there maybe a huge fly in the ointment at present. I will email later when some details have been hammered through. Still going to the Cup, maybe not MI. I really didn't need to hear that. It looks as if 2011 is going to be another one of those years. I was hoping you would be a bad influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
