nasty618 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Looks like at least a couple of stages are repeated from Hi to Lo Cap Nationals... I see Lo/Hi'er Love Lo/Hi Cost of Living and same round counts. I wonder if these are going to be the new 2019 Classifiers... Both were very high HF (9-10) and that's considering that the top shooters were not pushing things to the limit at the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regor Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That's the second and third stage from Christian's match video (link with timestamp to second stage below), if anyone is curious about which stages @nasty618 is referring to.

shred Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Mike Foley mentioned at Hicap that he had some classifier candidates in the mix at that match, and the easy money is on the ones that didn't change between PCC/Open and Lim/CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasty618 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 USPSA did confirm on social media that there will be a few new classifiers. Personally, i thought they were excellent additions. I liked that they are getting away from the Virginia count, have movement and even options for solving them.

sc68cal Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Short & Medium courses for Nationals 2019 were so so so so so much better than 2018. IMO the only classifier that is worth keeping from the 18 series is 18-09 and MAYBE 18-07 (18-05 asks for too much in building the stage & resetting it after each shooter, for 80 points, and could cause a match to back up) - the rest should be thrown out.

Gene_WI Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Any idea when the new 19 series classifiers will be officially released? My club is planning a classifier match for April, and it would be fun to include some new stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the goal post keeps moving to make X class, but there’s nothing in place to keep classes current with that, then is someone that made X class 5 yrs ago still that class? It seems almost impossible to get bumped down via the petition route. I’d guess 80% of shooters don’t continue to get better past a certain level. So, how can they keep the classifications the same?

Just curious The links were straight from the main site - https://uspsa.org/classifiers/ This morning, when i posted this, the new classifiers were listed there, in the online calculator and in mobile app. In app the links to diagrams and WSB were not working, one of the classifiers in the online calculator was not selectable in the drop down. I am guessing they are still working out the functionality of the web app - must have been a late night launch, not fully tested.... they'll sort it out shortly, i am sure. But the classifier scores from the 2019 Nationals are live and classification system ran this morning, recognizing and calculating them.

Easier to get a high score because there is not much data or easier technical skill wise? I looked at some of the results, folks from B to GM levels and seems that generally people performed to their level - both their classifier percentage and match result wise.

Easier to get a high score. When classifiers are new and based on match performance at majors, the HF is lower. There is much less data, and people have not yet had the opportunity to hero-or-zero at a club match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, the formula seems to be different, as i mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasty618 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) oh for sure. I am thinking maybe they are choosing to make 19 series HHF just a bit harder this time? 100% of the top 10 average in 2019 vs 95% in 2018 - perhaps to avoid a drastic adjustment mid season after everyone has been running the 19 series, like they did with 18 series last year?

On closer inspection it appears that the formulas used to determine HHFs for the 19 series classifiers are the same as for the 18 series, but there are at least two different formulas. In Production, HHF is the average of top 10 HFs. In Revolver, it's the average of top 10 HFs after excluding HFs that are below 90% of the stage winner. Also worth noting is that 19 series HHFs are different between CO and Production. Prior to 19 series CO mirrored Production. Maybe because 19 series classifiers are 12 or 14 shots with no mandatory reload, so a larger magazine gives an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll note---no matter what, you can always go to the USPSA website, go to your classification record, then click on the little calculator-looking thing on the right. It is a classifier calculator, and you can use it for all classifiers and all divisions. Similarly, if you have the phone app, you can do the same.
