He’s part of the Marine Corp. shooting team. I think his main discipline is 3 gun. He just won Battle for the Northcoast match this weekend too in CO. He also shoots at a level above his classification in Open division as well. I've had the pleasure of running him in 4 majors over the last few years, most recently the Battle of the North Coast. That young man can shoot as can several other members of that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we are not looking at the same rules because the 2020 version in A2 2 says "All level matches" and "A minimum of 5 competitors per Division Category (see approved list below)." Or, you might be looking at A2 1, which talks about Divisions, but not Categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a MD I'm going to award the trophies and awards if I have already purchased them. Also on level 1 and 2 matches, I believe that if the MD wants to have awards for less than 5 it would be their decision. I know that I would have awards particularly for Juniors and Lady to help maintain their interest and particpation. I'm not sure how this works in practice - USPSA rules say that categories are not recognized by the USPSA, but you should be able to hand out the awards independently. I would guess it wouldn't violate USPSA rules and they wouldn't be upset, but I don't organize matches as an MD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 In practice, plenty of awards get given out that may or may not be officially recognized by USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Speaking of Area 8, can any of you more experienced guys shed some light on two questions? How does a match bump work in a case such as this, when a B class shooter wins the division? I also noticed I received a classification score for Area 8 (I shot CO) but my two friends who both shot production did not. There were more than 5 GM's in production Edited September 7, 2020 by Malarky112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were more than 5 GM's in production Answers found here: https://uspsa.org/pages/about/classification Last paragraph for the match bump For your second question: - A division must have at least three Grand Masters - All three Grand Masters must have a match percentage of 90 percent or higher There were only 2 Production GMs that scored 90 or better...
