Eric1231 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If I want to shoot a major match how many classifiers do you have to shoot to be assigned a class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Four. Go read pages iii-V of the rule book. You may want to look at the whole thing before going to a major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric1231 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 How does it work I you are unclassified? Meaning aren't the other classes competing for a prize at a major match? ie trophy or other prizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You'd be competing for high overall.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Some match directors choose to recognize Unclassified within Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) You don't indicate where you are located, but check with some of the nearby clubs and see if they are hosting a special classifier match. With permission from HQ, the club can shoot several classifiers in one day. Usually they will have enough to get you classified provided you don't zero any of them. I usually see these in the Spring so the new shooters picked up during the winter months can get classified before the major matches start.

gransport Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 On the 3rd Sunday in March, there is an all classifier match at Miamisburg Sportsman Club. Also, there's a USPSA practice match every Monday. 72 rounds, $9 Location is: 6300 South Union Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar15rick Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 After I have shot 4 classifiers, how long does it take to show on the uspsa website or for uspsa to recognize my classification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPG Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 After I have shot 4 classifiers, how long does it take to show on the uspsa website or for uspsa to recognize my classification? USPSA typically updates the classification scores around/by the 15th of each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahanshew89 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Kind of off topic but in the same vein; if I've shot some classifiers, not enough to be classified yet, but by the time I have, and the PCTs are all over the board, how does that work? For a hypothetical instance, I have 64.4, 33.7, 92.5, 84.3, 65.5, and 14.3. Do they average them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) The two lowest classifiers (33.4% and 14.3%) will be thrown out. The remaining four average 76.675%. Hypothetically the shooter will be placed in "A". With such a wide range (especially the 92.5% classifier) it may raise a few eyebrows and I do not know how HQ would handle that. If you were already classified and one of your classifier scores was 15% above your classification bracket, it would be flagged and possibly not accepted for determining your classification. From the website: This classifier was not used as part of your current average because it was one of the two lowest percentages within the most recent six (for initial classifications) or eight on file at the time the classification update process was run. For initial classifications, the best four scores of the most recent six scores on file are used to calculate your classification. After you have earned your initial classification, the next time the classification system is run, your best six of the most recent eight scores on file will be used to calculate your current average. Because a Special Classifiers can earn you six score on the same match date, the scores are ranked in descending order by percentage to determine your most recent six or eight scores.

nahanshew89 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks for the clarification. Again, it was a hypothetical, but two of the scores are actually mine. Not the 92.5, but sometimes I do really good and have hit a stage with scores on par with M shooters. I normally shoot in the solid B zone, but I was worried that a low score would really throw me off and possibly bump me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnutz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So along the same lines as well. 2 years ago I shot 3 classifiers and obviously never got classed. This past weekend I shot 5 more so now I should have enough to get ranked. How do you suppose they would score this since there is a huge time lapse between the classifiers shot?

This past weekend I shot 5 more so now I should have enough to get ranked. How do you suppose they would score this since there is a huge time lapse between the classifiers shot? I might be wrong but I believe they will take the highest 4 of your 8 total scores for your average. After that there might be a change up but I understand that for your initial class they'll take the highest 4 of any number of scores submitted. The fact that the dates are so spread out might make me wrong, but I haven't read anywhere that dates would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnutz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks Drew. I guess I'll find out for sure around the 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bear Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 They should use the original 3 plus the best 1 of the 5 new ones to set the initial classification (4 scores), Then they will take the the best 6 of the 8 to adjust the percentage. So if the original 3 all contain the lowest scores then 2 will be classified as F and the remaining 6 will have Y's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD45 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I mean, I know they mean well, but you gotta remember for websites, people are LAZY! They'll leave it in seconds if they get confused. I have given people that asked me about the sport simple links to videos on my blog. And they are so lazy they don't even look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
