Franklin D Wolverton Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 frank can i give you my entry at area 3 thanks matt Yes... thanks for asking. For those that don't know, I will be at Area 3 working the match. I'll have copies of the registration form with me, and you can sign up for the match there if you like. I don't know where I'll be yet, but due to my back problems of late, I'll be either on Chrono, or one of the two non-movement stages. The only thing I'll ask is that we do this business AFTER your squad has shot my stage, so I can concentrate on getting you through the stage first. I don't want to slow down squads.

Dan Hefta Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 This thread kind of reminds me of traveling thru southern Minnesota when you see a sign for Wal Drug South Dakota some 250 miles away from the place. You end up seeing so many of those signs along the way that you feel compelled to just go because you feel as though you already know the place. Anyone who has been thru South Dakota along I-90 understands what I mean. I think it is funny. Love the way Frank just pops this thread back up every now and again as a friendly reminder to us all. Good Job Frank!I want to go to this match pretty darn bad and I'm trying to convince myself I need to go since I've been lurking on this thread for so long..... I like the idea of the extended deadline! That helps delay the whole process for me. It's only 350miles for me. Not like its a long drive or anything.... My class would be recognized as well, M in open or will I shoot in limited division? HMMMM. Sorry for rambling, just typing those random thoughts that are going thru my head. Would be a great tune up match for nationals. Go to the match, or stay home and spend a romantic weekend with my wife? Things that make you go HMMMM. Steven, go to the match with your best friend and have a not-so romantic weekend. Cat will forgive you. (some day) At least both of our wives will be mad at us at the same time. Together We Stand, Divided We Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Rader Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Dang Frank, USPSA is going to make this match a classifier if you have any more GM's show up...good job!! Your matches are always fun. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your matches are always fun.Dale I think Limited and Open divisions are probably going to be classifiers... 3GM, 3M in limited, and 1GM, 5M in open. But I can't speak for USPSA...

Franklin D Wolverton Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Starting to fill up fast. We're now up to 133 competitors. Sunday is filling up twice as fast as Saturday. Based on what was on the applications, I have the following number of competitors and slots (meaning that I haven't compared the entry forms to the online registration yet)... Friday - 35 competitors - Staff day - If this is the only day you can shoot, I should be able to squeeze you in. Probably about 8 more is all. Saturday - 35 competitors - 65 slots still open. Sunday - 63 competitors - 25 slots still open (2 slots are reserved for class registrants). First come, first served on the slots. It's online squadding.

Dale Rader Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Frank, do you still have room to accept ammo shipments? I want to ship mine over there but if you have too much already, I can just bring it with me. Thanks, Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to ship mine over there but if you have too much already, I can just bring it with me.Thanks, Dale Sorry Dale... I've been at Area 3 since Wednesday afternoon. Yes... I can still take shipments. I've got room enough to take a shipment from every registered competitor if I had to bTW... after adding the entry's I've received since I've been gone, we're now up to 141 competitors... 7 more and it'll be the largest Illinois Sectional in recent history.

RobMoore Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Question: What is the cutoff for Production A awards? It isn't underlined, but I am nearly certain (unless I can't attend or totally tank this weekend's classifier) that I will be shooting in A, and not my current B, for this match (knocking on wood).

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Yes, it's 3. It might have confused you because there are some U's that aren't underlined. We are not recognizing Unclassified. I'm quite sure this matrix will change slightly after the next USPSA update.

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just a little reminder... only 10 days left until the late entry deadline. In case you have an older sheet that says August 1st... the late entry deadline has been pushed back to August 15th due to the genoerosity of our caterer (Hy-Vee), t-shirt printer (AB Screen) and awards printer (Manny USA).

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I suppose I should put it up, since I was just asked... and I said I would The prizes will be awarded as follows: Major prizes will be awarded on a pre-determined schedule based on entries (5 in a division, 5 in a category, 3 in a class to be eligible). The list will be published at the start of the match. Basically... if win production, you'll get this... if you win open C, you'll get that... ect. Minor prizes will be awarded at registration. This (I believe) does three things. It awards performance, keeps the Friday and Saturday shooters from getting screwed, and we all don't have to wait around an hour to start the prize table. If you are not present, you're prize will be shipped. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Got 4 more entries today... that puts us at 147, which ties us for the largest Illinois Sectional on record... I wanna crush it. I hope my section coordinator doesn't get the idea that I'll do it EVERY year... BTW... to those on my waiting list that I e-mailed about the open RO spot... it has just been filled. Sorry Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 We've made 150 Got 4 more registrations yesterday... we're up to 151 competitors. Just to let everyman know... Sunday is filling up fast... as of this morning, there are only 21 open slots left on Sunday. There are plenty left on Saturday (60 open slots as of this morning). There are also 3 unsquadded persons... so they'll eat up some of those slots. If you need it... I still have 7 or 8 Friday slots I can give out. Just pop me an e-mail before you send in your registration. Frank milanuspsa@gmail.com http://milanpracticalshooting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 The only change I MIGHT make is to put the chrono in the same bay as the classifier... i.e. shoot the classifier, then the whole squad moves to chrono. Reason being... El Pres should only take about 15 minutes for the whole squad to shoot... it'll keep that squad from catching up with the next group. Plus... we'll get out of there a little quicker I think. Frnak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just a quick little update... 1. There is less than a week left until the late entry deadline. Entries postmarked on or before August 15th (this Saturday) receive the low low price of $75 ($50 for juniors), plus a match T-shirt. Entries postmarked after August 15th (and walk-ins) are $100 ($75 for juniors), and may not be able to receive a t-shirt. I'll try... but I have to have the numbers to the printer on the 18th. This gives it a few days for the last minute entries to show up. 2. If you did not order lunch... I have to give them my final numbers on the 18th as well. They usually bring about 10 extra meals per day... but I can't guarantee you'll be able to buy a meal on the range. If you want one, e-mail me that you want one, then send your money in. The $8 gets you 2 meats (burgers, dogs, brats), 2 sides, a cookie and a drink. Believe me... once they pull that big ass grill on the range and start cooking... mouth start drooling. 3. We WILL have the chrono going at the sectional. Don't get caught minor (like I did at Area 3... grrr). 4. Firing starts promptly at 8am Saturday and Sunday (9am on Friday). You can register at any of the following... a. At the range any day prior to your shoot b. At the range the morning of your shoot (registration people will be there at 6am) c. At the match hotel the night before your match (6pm to 8pm Friday or Saturday evening) You don't have to make an appointment to register. Just show up. It's gonna be a fun match. As of right now, we have 164 competitors, with at least 10 in the mail that I know of. I think we're easily going to reach 175... and we have a chance at breaking 200. It looks like Sunday is close to full (only about 18 slots left as of right now), but Saturday still has plenty of room (something like 50 slots still available). I can even squeeze a few more in on Friday if that is the only day you can shoot. See y'all at the range. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You can add two more to that total.. Sent it out yesterday. I hope we get in on time to get two of those slots on Sunday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin D Wolverton Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Got 9 more entries in the mail today. We've reached 175 competitors. WOOHOO There are currently 46 slots left for Saturday, and 12 left for Sunday. I can also fit a few more in on Friday, if that's the only day you can shoot. We've also picked up another open GM. I also hear a rumor about another GM (everyone knows him) that MIGHT be coming, but I haven't received his app yet... so I can't tell you who (ducking the flames) Here is the current breakdown (realizing that USPSA is in the midst of updating the classifications... and it may change tomorrow)... The underlined divisions/classes are eligible for plaques.... Limited (50 competitors): 3GM, 6M, 7A, 14B, 15C, 3D, 2U Production (46 competitors): 1GM, 1M, 2A, 13B, 16C, 7D, 6U Open (37 competitors): 2GM, 6M, 4A, 9B, 7C, 1D, 3U Single Stack (27 competitors): 2A, 6B, 11C, 4D, 3U Limited 10 (12 competitors): 1GM, 1M, 1B, 8C, 2D, 2U Revolver (7 competitors): 1M, 2B, 3C, 1U Totals: 7GM, 15M, 16A, 45B, 60C, 17D, 15U Frank Edited August 12, 2009 by Franklin D Wolverton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
