Nightforce Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I just received a notice that there will not be a Western PA Section Championship in 2021. I was really looking forward to this match, I really enjoyed shooting it last year. I wonder why the match has been cancelled. Link to post Share on other sites
dapribek Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Perhaps because of rising Covid cases in the area? Or perhaps because of either the ammo shortage or the primer shortage? Link to post Share on other sites
Bakerjd Posted Tuesday at 07:54 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:54 AM Damn this sucks. I enjoy this match because it is close to sone very good friends in PA that I almost never get to see anymore. I'm now in MI and this is a great way to get in a great match and see them. Link to post Share on other sites
Fishbreath Posted Tuesday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:53 PM (edited) I remember hearing somewhere that the match director this year decided not to reprise the role, and that might be a contributing factor. I don't remember where I heard it, though. I'll see if I can dig it up. e: It's toward the bottom of the 2020 season roundup from East Huntingdon Practical Shooters. http://www.ehpsa.com/2020-season-wrap-up/ Edited Tuesday at 02:58 PM by Fishbreath Link to post Share on other sites

This sums it up and explains everything. You can't hardly blame Roger for stepping away, it is a lot to deal with especially in the current climate. It was a fun match and if it returns I will certainly sign up. Edited Tuesday at 03:39 PM by Nightforce Link to post Share on other sites
Racinready300ex Posted Tuesday at 03:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:54 PM That sucks, but it's good to know. I was trying to keep my schedule open so I could make that. Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge Posted Tuesday at 04:11 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:11 PM Sometimes, Match Directors are the Rodney Dangerfield's of USPSA. They don't get no respect. LOL "Hey man, We think you would be a great match director". "Wow guys what a compliment, I'll do it". "Man I'm getting old and would like to shoot more and work less so I'm stepping down. Who would like to step up and keep things going?" Crickets! Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckS Posted Tuesday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:18 PM Being a MD is very hard work and often a thankless job. That said, this thread is a match announcement and I am going to close it up. PM me if you have something to add schedule or replacement-wise. We have a match management forum for the other subject.
