proudbeard33 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 has anyone seen a squad list? I hope we don't have rain this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Don't be ridiculous. It NEVER rains at PASA (unless, of course, I'm shooting there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeMartens Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Here is the answer I got back Jake, The information for the match hotel along with all the other hotels are listed on the 1911ssc.org. All you have to do is look. We never post the squads prior to the match, only last year because we used self squadding, which turned into a mess. If you are unhappy with the way we run the 1911 match, we would be more than happy to refund your money.

rgkeller Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 List of registered shooters has always appeared on the website along with the squad to which they were assigned, sometime prior to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm not sure why self squadding doesn't work. Send in your entry form, get your PIN emailed to you, sign up for whatever squad on whatever days are available. I'm sure I'm missing something...

From what I thought I remember reading or Kathy telling me on the phone.. Last year people who got a Thursday/Friday slot were squadding themselves in a Saturday Squad and it caused a big mess.

Only allow people to squad themselves on the days they signed up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sure, if the system is set up to do that, but if not, thats a lot of manual intervention and checking. Maybe its easier for them to do it manually. I dont know.. but I do know it would be the easiest of people could just squad themselves where they belong on the honor system.

bdavis385 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'll venture in this once (then I'll disappear again). I have worked the match and I have done the squadding for 17 years (although not this year). The self squadding does not work well for multi day matches where the shooter shoots the match in one day (it works well for multi-day where you shoot all of those days). We had people who would look at the self squadding page, see spots left on Saturday (that were committed to others who just had not taken the time to chose their squad) and then they would try to take a day they were to be registered for . The only way to police this was to look at the site every day and go over every name (there is/was the option to lock a squad once it was full. RGKeller is mis-remembering, I have never posted squad lists with the exception of the self-squadding time and one other time late in the registration process I posted a list of registered shooters with squads listed, which precipitated a couple of dozen emails with very late requests to change squads -- a nightmare to attempt (think of dominoes falling). Then there are the cancelations and trying to contact people on the waiting list, who then want a few days to check on arrangements, or want to take three friends with them, not possible with one cancellation. For the person tasked with squadding, it is a daunting task, a thankless task. DWFan, it would be nice if the self-squadding page worked with the uniqueness of the Single Stack Match, but it does not. Please remember that these are volunteers who are doing this work. Try and be polite, try to follow the proper order (don't call the USPSA President for information that is already posted somewhere, etc). Most of us are trying to be helpful, cooperate and help where and when we can. Don't try and bully your way into the match, or for a squad change (strangely enough it is usually the same people year after year who do this). This is supposed to be fun. After 17 years, it stopped being fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I thought the whole purpose of the Self Squadding was to let the competitor choose their dates, first come first served. Having Competitors choose a day on the entry form and then going with Self Squadding just doesn't seem to compute. Especially with the match now using Slots, I'd think going with Self Squadding and eliminating the choosing of days on the entry form as an option would work. Doing both would seem to just add work for no good end. And the Match Staff have enough to do as it is. Edited February 28, 2013 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdavis385 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That would work!!!! However, the match is not set up that way and probably won't be. Otherwise a perfectly good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMartens Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) That is the only way that self squadding works, first come first serve on days I have used it for the Indiana Section the last 5 years, there is a day on the form, but it is listed as self squadding ahead of time once the days are full then they are full and it is up to the competitor to select I have done it the other way and did the squadding myself, to be honest that is alot more work but when I did that I still had the squadding for competitors to see it you can actually still use the online squadding on the uspsa site just keep it locked, and as you enter competitors into ezwin score you can select a squad, then you just simply export the competitor list and upload into the squadding and it will populate the online squadding at the same time an email is sent to the competitor that their entry is received, match info can be sent and what squad they are on cuts the work way way way down. and the information that competitors are asking about is already sent to the them with a few clicks Edited February 28, 2013 by JakeMartens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Is there stage descriptions yet. I know it is @ 250 rounds but was wondering if anything that I should prepare for, ( 50 yards, 25yards) Other than that I am good to go. Shooting Revo only. I am cheap that way.

Koppi Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bubber, have you shot the SSN before? I'm guessing not-- they never post stages. Your best bet is to go on u-tube and look for vid's of past matches. The stages tend to trend and basically stay ---almost the same--- they do have one all steel stage alot of times with a 6 inch plate some where. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 They don't typically post the stage descriptions until the match starts. If this is your first Single Stack Nationals you may like to check out these videos from last year, it will give you some idea of what to expect.

Bubber Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanx guys, I have shot a Barry before but that was a LONGGGGG time ago. Back when Revo was still a category. I guess I am ready as I'll ever be. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
