TreyT Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I recently was invited to a USPSA shoot by a friend who wanted to start also. We both currently shoot competitively, but not through any of the sanctioned organizations. Almost everyone in our club is fairly new to the sport. Almost everyone has a Class of "U". My class is listed as G... I did poorly on my first shoot (17 out of 30) but last night i placed 5th overall, and had a successful shoot i was told by the RO at our club. I am confused on the class determinations as i am the only one in our group with a G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 "G" is short for "GM" which is Grand Master. If you are not classified yet then your classification should be listed as "U" which is unclassified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Results posted on Practiscore only show single character classification letters. Thus GM is represented as G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I don't see a member number. You do have a current USPSA membership, right? If not, the G is an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwray Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes U . Sounds like someone gained access to your match management link and edited your entry as a prank. Happens regularly around me locally. Keep that link to yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer002 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Likely the G was selected during online registration for match in practiscore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Don't know if Practicscore uses USPSA classes or allows clubs to enter what they want. If the latter it was either a mistake, someone funnin' ya, or maybe they think you should be a G locally (could stand for Grandmaster, geezer, good ol' boy, gee he showed or anything one reason USPSA is a good thing you're class kind of means something there). Of course the best thing is to show up at the next match dressed up as a sponsored shooter (just look like one) and make a joke out of it. Or email the club contact and respectfully ask about it?

The classification will be whatever is picked at registration. If the shooter has a valid USPSA number and whoever is running things does a classification update, things are brought back to reality.

Whoever sets up the match on Practiscore puts in "G" or "GM". Current examples are for some local matches is "Kidlat" uses "GM" and "TTS USPSA" uses "G".

9x45 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It's got to be on the results posting side then, because sign up doesn't show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into an existing match you may have on your tablet/phone and add a shooter. You will see that it only offers single letters for class. The online registration offers 2.
