Rob Boudrie Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 USPSA used a mailing service which printed and mailed the letters. This service states they use multiple mailing centers, but don't say how many. If you have your letter, could you post the zip code or origination (it's on the mailing permit where the stamp would go). No need to post is someone has already posted the zip code on yours. I'm trying to get an idea of the number and location of the mailing points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Ours made it to Columbus, Ohio today (Monday). I already had mine from my Front Sight, but my better half is an associate member and doesn't get a FS. So...we had to wait while others were already squadding. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> F**k! We're in the same boat and because we couldn't squad ourselves together until my wife's PIN arrives (hopefully today?) and USPSA (understandably) wouldn't give us the number over the phone, now we can't get into the squad we wanted because it's full. Sonofab*tch... -Chet <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here's what would have prevented the problem that my wife and I are encountering with the Nationals self-squadding system: Use one number for the household. So if I look on our copy of Front Sight and find the seven-digit number, make that also the number for the household's associate members. Problem solved. Maybe next year... -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Clearwater, Florida yesterday. I already used the PIN on my Front Sight and had to pull strings to get my brother in law's PIN to sign him up as well b/c he was out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Um - I guess you guys didn't know that you could change your pin to a personal password? We didn't have to wait for anything, cause I knew what our password was You may want to set up your password as soon as you get that next front sight so you won't have to go through the wait again.

Flexmoney Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Jenny doesn't even know she has a password. And, why should she...this is the first time she would ever need it. And, being an associate memeber...she doesn't get a Front Sight. I see that at least one of my junior shooters is in the same boat. It would have been great for USPSA to have waited another week to open the squading..giving time for the mailings to get out. I had planned for a while to shoot with Bryant Chaffin. But, I couldn't very well squad myself and not Jenny. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I don't want to rain on the "hate parade" ... I will say, though, I've been to three "big" matches in the past, and was only ever squaded once with a person I knew before the match. It was a great opportunity to meet new folks, and I suspect I had just as good a time as I would have in a squad of all my buds from back home. So, while the execution on this new squadding method this year wasn't perfect, look at it as a chance to make new friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I think it may be time to open up the reserved squads on the Nationals, there are only 4 squads with any available spaces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Limited/Prod/Revolver has a squad with 16 available, and Open/L10 has a squad with 15 available. Kim, Dave and I are monitoring this closely (at least several times a day), and will open up the held squads when necessary. If you have a group larger than an open block, please let us know. This cautious approach to opening up these squads is needed to preserve the maxmium number of "blocks" that groups can use. We don't wand to end up with two squads with 5 openings each and one group of 7 which wants to register together. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 San Angelo Texas (76905 here, mailed from 60172). I'm very glad the helpful and dedicated USPSA employees (thank you!) were allowed to help me when I called (got my call in before the "service" was ordered out of "customer service") Shooting with different people is great fun. Trying to coordinate car (and golf-cart) pools due to someone else's P6 difficulties...not fun. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 ALL RIGHT! All of this dissatisfaction could result in more people not showing! My chances are getting better and better to shoot Limited! Dummy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Dissatisfied? No. Online squading is (IMO) one heck of a neat idea. Unimpressed? Yep. This was implimented poorly, to say the least. Amazed that someone nominally in a position of power in a customer service department would order....no...customer service? Yep. Further amazed that someone would attempt to defend a pre-planned lack of customer service? Yep. Now if Liota can not break her ankle this year during the post-registration pre-match walk-through...this should be fun. Squad 1 seems to have a preponderance of A-Open shooters...hopefully there will be some in-squad racin' Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hey Alex, Hoping to get some good shooting tips from all of you other "A" shooters in squad 1. Remind me to not reload after firing ten shots . Looking forward to meeting you guys on squad 1 Aloha, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
