CHA-LEE Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between the match being a "State" match verses a "Section" match? What changes in the match other than its implied "Magnitude of importance”? I am not trying to bash this match or put it down in any way. I am just trying to understand what the difference is? Wouldn’t it still be considered a Level II match if it was a State or Section level match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you could have a Section championship as well as a state championship for both MD and VA in that case. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaterHead Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Sorry if I created any confusion. The High Desert Classic at Albuquerque is a Level 2 match. The New Mexico Section Championship is also a Level 2 match. The NM Section includes all of NM, as well as the El Paso, Tx area, and southwest Colorado (Durango) area. Confusing, indeed, but the NM Section spills over the borders a little bit. The NM Section match rotates around the clubs in the Section. Pretty much "who wants it?", "who does the Section Coordinator award it to?" For the first three years, the High Desert Classic (then know as Badlands) was also the NM Section. For the last two years, the NM Section went south (to Las Cruces), then east (to Edgewood). For 2010, it's just back in Albuquerque, in conjunction with the High Desert Classic. It's a lot like the Mile Hi Shootout in eastern Colorado. Every other year, it is also the Colorado Sectional. On odd years, the Sectional goes to the West Slope (typically Montrose or Gunnison). Nevertheless, The Mile Hi Shootout is every year; sometimes it is also the Colorado Sectional. In a similair vein, the High Desert Classic happens ever year, it's just this year we are once again the NM Sectional.

Pat Miles Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 As you gentleman are posting here Jerry the Stage Wizard (or Demon as some have called him) is designing the stages for the match and I am designing and fabricating the movers and shakers that are incorporated in the stages. The club now has a Polish Plate Rack which you will see in the 2010 match. Oh this is going to be good! As you have seen in past HDC matches, no impossible mind bending BS. Just fun, challenging stages. Put the 2010 High Desert Classic on your calendar and come shoot with us. CYa, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks for the state verses sectional clarification. Its confusing to me because even a "State" match can be attended by shooters from different states. So I don't understand the need to even have a "Sectional" designation for a match. Once again, I am not complaining about this match, just trying to understand. I will be attending this match and look forward to shooting with all the great people down there. I am sure you guys will put on an awesome match like you have always done in the past!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 some clubs will designate a "High section" award. The "section" award winner must be from that section. I've seen the same in state matches as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaterHead Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Update: Chrono this year! The ChronoMan, Greg Lent, will be with us at the HDC. Random draw prize table continues. This year Nanci Lambert will be the prize coordinator. If you have yet to see the Polish Plate Rack, best do so. You'll be shooting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Jamie: You can come as well as long as you can keep Don from talking Nevermind that would be impossible How's the 3-gun going for you? I see Ty is doing very well and Benny is taking a break for a while till his shoulder feels better I guess. Jamie I think you would enjoy this match and would well like you always do.
