calebj06 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Do I have to have my membership active before shooting a classifier stage for it to count? Im new and shooting my first match next weekend. I know there is a classifier stage. I'm not yet a uspsa member, but as long as all goes well I will join. I'm just thinking if I dont join before the match I'll loose this classifier counting.

Bkreutz Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The only way the club can send your classifier score in to USPSA is with your membership number, you don't get that until you join. You don't need a membership to shoot the match (no matter how many times you do it), but you need to join to keep track of your classifier scores (percentage wise) Practiscore will show you how you did compared to the other shooters in the match, but that doesn't equate to percentages nationwide (actually worldwide). I wouldn't let it bother you, after you get involved, missing one (or a few) classifier scores won't bother you. Have fun and stop worrying about stuff like this.

calebj06 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thx for the info BK. That's what I figured. And on the advice to chill. Lol. Probably needed that. Im just a research oriented person. I like to figure it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 If submitted as Pending they go back about 30 days to match names to new member numbers, so if you decide to join USPSA shortly after shooting the classifier it will count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ck867 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ask your club to use Pend or Pending as your number. I did this when I first started and the classifier showed up after I was assigned a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eureka1911 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Not sure why you need to wait to join. Do it online and give them a call towards the end of the week. They'll tell you your number so you don't have to wait for the snail mail. It's $40. Why wait? Edited April 11, 2017 by Eureka1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prerunnertrd Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 +1 with CK867. I went through the same years ago and my local club placed my score in pending until I had a uspsa # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebj06 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Went ahead and signed up. First match on Saturday has two classifiers so I might as well get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
