Brewski Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Why were five stages dropped from the match? I mean really, five? From the World Championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 From what I understand they were bottle necks, and with the constant threat of foul weather, the decision was made in the interest of saving time. Why this wasn't planned for and figured out until the 3rd day of shooting, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Which match exactly are you referring to? City, state, date? Many matches make claims to being the World Championship of "anything". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 They are talking about teh IDPA World Championships at USA this past week. We just got back. The rain delays on days 1, 2 and 3 created the ptpoblems so 3 bays/5 stages were withdrawn. There was no way to get them done. We shot the last 2 days and on Friday, the skys open again just as we finished. The rain and lightning was so bad, there was no way to plan around it. IDPA did the ritght thing by tossing the stages as there was no way to finish unless there was shooting in the thunderstorms or after dark.

ima45dv8 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks, Michael. That clears things up a bit. !!!!Let's start right now blaming the match staff because they didn't plan appropriately for the misfortunes Mother Nature can visit upon an outdoor event!!! Hang the bastards! Put them to the cross! Gather firewood for the burning! *I have a pint of kerosene if anyone needs it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Who scheduled there match first? IDPA world shoot or USPSA nationals. Seems like to much of a coincidence to me that they fell on the same week-end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankfan79 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've heard too many bad things about this match already. Glad I didn't make the journey or shell out the expense on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 From what I understand one of them was tossed because the activating target kept failing, and the others either because of serious squad back up issues or maybe even the fact the bays were not really usable. There was a metric crap ton of rain there last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Who scheduled there match first? IDPA world shoot or USPSA nationals. Seems like to much of a coincidence to me that they fell on the same week-end Both were scheduled at almost the same time. USPSA had to stick ours when we did due to the approaching World Shoot (the IPSC one, not the IDPA one). We tried to put it a week earlier but couldn't due to a range conflict. There are normally a couple weeks of contract signing that go into scheduling of a match of this size. We were both doing it at the same time and announced at almost the same time. No evil scheme. In fact USPSA offered shooters the opportunity to shoot through the match and still get to the IDPA match. Something I've never seen allowances at Nationals for. Shoot throughs yes, to go shoot another match, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBB Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Robert Vogel: 30 points down for the match, 0 Failures to Neutralize, 0 Procedural errors, 0 Hits on non-threats and a final match score 35 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor in any class in any division. Oh yeah, he did this less than a week after winning L10 at the USPSA Nationals. Edited September 26, 2011 by BBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
