2006 Area 7 Championship

[Rob Boudrie]

The 2006 Area 7 Championship will be held at the Rochester Brooks Practical Shooters on June 6-11, 2006. We may not start shooting until Thursday, but have listed Wednesday as the start date in case we need to pre-shoot some ROs to assure enough slots for competitors.

Based on feedback posted this forum, I am planning (subject to approval by the match committee) some adjustments to squadding policy :

1. We will still use on-line squadding to allow shooters to adjust their squadding.

2. We will fill any squad requests you submit with your application if we can do so at the time we enter your registration data into the system. This means we will put you directly in a Sat PM slot if you ask and we have one open, and will even put you into squads with people you request.

3. Once we enter your registration data on-line, your initial squadding data will be available and you may change it using the web based system.

There are a few limitations to this system:

Limitation #1: We will not re-arrange exising squads. If you ask to be squadded with Fred and Sam, and they are already in different squads, we will not move one of them to fit you three together. You, Fred and Sam are, however, welcome to do that yourself with the on-line squadding system.

Limitation #2: We will not "hold openings" in slots for future arrivals. Requests such as "save an opening in this squad and put Joe in it if he signs up" will not be tracked.

Limitation #3: We will not track "forward looking requests" which cannot be processed at the time we are entering your registration data. These are requests like "squad me with John Smith who is sending in his registration separately".

Limitation #4: If a shooter has requested a "private registration", they do not exist on the squadding matrix when processing competitor requests. If you ask to be squadded with Mr. Famous, and Mr. Famos has requested his name be kept off the public registration list, don't expect us to squad you with him unless Mr. Famous has given us permission to honor this request.

[Crusher]

Are match applications out yet? If so where can we obtain one?

With no A8 this year I would imagine this match to fill up FAST.

The ad has already been submitted to the next Front Sight issue. I will call the match director this weekend to get the final squad size/count, and expect registration to open very shortly thereafter.
