Chris Keen Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I was 1st A Open at Area 6. Nothing free for me either. Guess I'll have to join the waiting list with everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I got a call last Monday for my slot to the Limited Nats. Seems I won High Old Fart in Area 8 last year. Now all I need is a slot for the Open. With the matches being back to back it just makes so much sense. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dang I won 1st A at area 2 and I don't get a slot somebody call me a Waambulance Same here, won my class at Area 8 but even though the match was held only an hour away from my house "no slot for you" because I live just across the border into Area 5 land. I shoot probably 95% of my matches in Area 8 because even local matches in Area 5 are generally 2+ hours away versus 1 hour in Area 8. Alamo, go ahead and send that Waambulance up this way after they swing by your place..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirl Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Got mine, for last year's Area 4. Had to turn down last year's Open Nats slot because I couldn't afford to go to Montana - got in on the waiting list and shot Lim/Prod Nats with a Glock instead (eek). Had a blast anyway, but it will be much more fun this year with an open gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin c Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) When is it, generally, that the sections hear on the remaining slots to be distributed? I'm hoping for a trip to Tulsa... eta: And since, if I go, it'd be fun to shoot both nats, how does the wait list work?

wide45 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Get the same questions every year. Just look at last years slots for Nationals thread Or the year before that Lots of answers out there for the looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingchange Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) I guess my search-fu is weak, because I couldn't find it, so I emailed Kim, and yes, I have a slot for my placement in the ladies category. They don't call returning champions, they just send those slots out automatically, because returning champions rarely decline a slot. If I had thought to search for THAT, I'd have found it here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...pions&st=25 Slots won't be mailed until February.

Chuck Merriam Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I just got my call today! I am a little stunned I got it from my performance at the Area 6 this last year. I do OK but I was not expecting this. My first dumb question is, how much is the entry fee? My next dumb question...am I a fool if I turn it down? Bussiness is not great right now in the construction industry but the match is not until september. If I accept and then can't go what happens? Be kind... I have only been shooting for 4 years and not very seriously at that. No hisses from the gallery but I don't practice unless matches count!

cpty1 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Chuck, usually the "slot" means you get to shoot the match for $50 less than those without a slot, plus you are guaranteed an entry in the match as opposed to possibly being on a waiting list without a slot. I got a call today resulting from Area 6 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not sure, go ahead and accept the slot, you can always turn the slot back in if you change your mind before the deadline, and it will go to the next person on the waiting list. But if you *decline* and then change your mind, there's no way they can get it back for you, and you'd have to sign up on the waiting list.

Flyin40 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I got a call today for the Michigan Targeting Ed Match. Do you pay the whole match fee now or a deposit like the waiting list when you accept. Flyin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Got the call yesterday for A1 second B limited (14th overall..yahooooo!) The funny thing was, I thought it was a joke. USPSA called and left a message and I was thinking to myself, "Why the heck is this guy calling me about a match I shot almost 6 months ago wanting to know if I am going to attend another match in another 9 months?!!?" I was pleasantly suprised. Fist area match and my first pistol Nationals! Only bad part is I am an A shooter now and only about 3% away from M. Yikes!! Oh well. You know what they say, Let er' rip 'tater chip!!! TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
