Canuck223 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm sure there will be a process for applying for slots. The good news is it's here. The bad news is the slots are still divided among the regions. We only received 76 (I think) slots for the shoot in Greece. Hopefully we'll get more for 2014 since this year there was a bit of an issue with that. However, demand is going to far outstrip supply for available slots no matter what we do. Mike and Phil are both in Greece right now. I wouldn't count on there being any decision made until they get back, and until the President election goes through. The 2014 will be during the tenure of whoever wins this election. Don't panic about slots. AFAIK, each member region with 2000 or more members get the same number of spots, and smaller regions have proportionally less. Realisticly, we're not state sponsored Olympians. We're (aside from a few pro's) working from our own wallets and vacation schedules. Many of the larger regions will not use all the slots they are assigned. Some (like Canada) may ask for more.

bofe954 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Are there some kind of results posted anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 They are working on results, they had a power outage. Expect to see something tomorrow. The top shooters will shoot the final five days of the match, (each squad has a day off), so any results from today won't have much meaning until the top dogs have gone through anyway.

ronhonda Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) This is pretty cool news. If I can't get a slot, I wonder if team Dominican Republic needs shooters? Edited October 4, 2011 by ronhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) There is a listing of sorts of the stage results here They are also going to try and get the results posted to a brazilian scores web-site that is much easier to read If they can get it working then the scores may be easier to read on : xtremeshooting Edited October 4, 2011 by BritinUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 There is a listing of sorts of the stage results here Actually, that's a pretty impressive way of presenting match results, and if you'll look, there's a PDF download link at the bottom.

shred Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This is pretty cool news. If I can't get a slot, I wonder if team Dominican Republic needs shooters? Yeah... all you have to do is reside there for 180 days of the previous 12 months I think. Get creative with the vacation schedule :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 that is awesome, is it confirmed that they will be in florida or are they still waiting on some vote. whether to shoot or help i will be there Confirmed. Will be in Fla, barring major seismic shifts (like, say major new nutty US gun laws or something) in many places. Wish they had field courses like this at USPSA Nationals... actual shooting on the move! Yeah, those decreasing-size cooper tunnels got a few people I know. Bummer we see those so rarely anymore. It's our first stage tomorrow morning, so will be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Beverley Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 If in Florida, it needs to be in late October on November. It was way to rainy and hot at Universal Shooting Academy for the IDPA Worlds which just ended 8 days ago. Having said that, I want to be there even if it is 105 degrees, 100% humidity and rain every day! September and October were the months mentioned in the presentation. Final dates to be confirmed after further discussion. Thailand's presentation was good but the presentation of behalf of the US was superb, very slick, very professional. If I'm honest I'm surprised the vote was as close as it was - I would have expected a few more votes for the US on the presentation alone. The US team (4) deserve your congratulations - they put in a huge amount of work in their presentation. Judging by what I saw it promises to be an excellent event. Hell, the shooting will be pretty good as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Beverley Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Is there any way to see the presentations? Not easily, IMO. There was a video and a PowerPoint presentation. All 4 spoke but Frank Garcia and at least one of the others spokes 2 or perhaps 3 times. The presentation lasted over 15 minutes and covered accommodation, visas, permits, hospitality, the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, the IPSC Assembly, tourism, families. The State of Florida was significantly involved and the team had the backing of great many people, including (as I saw it) local government (and the Governor to some extent at least). At this match level presentations are generally good, and getting better as time goes by, but like I said, this was an excellent presentation by any standard.
