Carmoney Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) A specific protocol has been established for US team selection for the 2008 World Shoot: http://www.uspsa.org/members/online_meetings.php?indx=96 I've only looked it over briefly, but at first glance it appears to be a pretty decent system. Thoughts? Edited January 29, 2006 by Carmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Number 3 is there way of saying we won't name a revolver team. Did I say that out loud Just shaking things up a bit around here Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 And I guess the criteria for the US Modified team is "whichever four suckers want to try it and, oh yeah, pay their own way.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 On the brighter side, I was pleased to see the word "Revolver" appear twice in paragraph 7, even spelled with a capital "R"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vericio_Brazil Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Hi all, I can't see the link above because a password is necessary (from the USPSA site). How are the rules for the selection? Thank you all for the answer. Edited January 28, 2006 by Vericio_Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.carden Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Participation at the Nationals is a "must" do match for both 06'-07'. For those of us who didn't earn a slot for this year cross your fingers. With out the Nats your WS points wont be enough for making the team. I hate the "wait list". But those are the breaks. Good luck !! Dan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I don't like having all the matched in one year. What if in 07 you change jobs or have a kid or get a case of the limp wrist (Sam). If something happens, all you will have is 06 nats. I think 2 years would be better. All this being said, the selection process did not apply to revolver last time and I'll bet it will not in 08.

cliffwalsh Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 It was mentioned last time also. If 'the man' is not going to use the stated process, it should be known at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 MBane in another thread said he's heard more interest in Revo's than anything lately. Robbie picks up a Revo. Look at all of the interest and articles in Handgunner on Revo's. Maybe there is going to be a pick up in interest. If there is it may be a difficult race to get a Revo Team slot to the next WS. Looks like best of place at nationals in 06-07, winner of national divisions in 08 and points from 2 of 3 approved matches in 07. But only in that Division, maybe some big names will move to Revo to soldify a spot? Could generate participation. My guess is the teams will be officially sponsored as per Division participation, probably rightfully so. Most who contribute, directly and indirectly, don't do so with a WS team in mind. Looks like a pretty solid deal, with lots of competition and possibilities. Who knows maybe a father/son combo on the 08WS team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Once again, the "Official Team" depends on the selection process. However, if the USPSA BOD does not want to support a Revolver Team, there won't be an official selection process. We'll be left on our own. However, as a process, this one looks pretty good. Unless Robbie wants to try and 1) Earn a slot on the WS Revo Team, 2) Stake his rep on beating Jerry to win (thus becoming the first shooter to win the WS in two different Divisions) I don't see official money for us. My plan is this: talk up and promote revolvers as much as possible. Get as much activity as possible. By the time getting slots for the WS comes around, we should have a good idea amongst ourselves who would be the best wheelgun killers to watch Jerry's back are. If the USPSA BOD wants to pitch in with money I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Might have better luck getting S&W, or a major US distributor to kick in some travel fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
