ErikW Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I got a phone message from USPSA with an offer of a slot to the 2004 pistol nationals. Apparently, they are already distributing "earned" slots. If you shot a tournament this year, have your credit card ready. I don't think a good performance is necessary for a slot. Kim said my slot was based on my performance at the Area 2 match, where I got 30th overall and 7th in class in Open. And that's worthy of a slot!?

BrianH Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Based on this years turnout, it sounds like they're trying to get the match to fill as quick as they can. This may also be a way to get a little quick feed-back to how much interest there will be for this match.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris40 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Kim called me last night and left a message I am going to call her back and get my slot. She said it was based on my performance in Area 4. As of right now it looks like I will be going by my self can any one tell me about the match like hotels and what I am in for.

Mike Dame Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hopefully 2nd B and 15th overall at Area 5 will be good enuff to get into the big show this year. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and duct tape them so they stay crossed untill I get my call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratochief Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Who gets earned slots at an area match? First through Third? or First and Second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris40 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Will I called and got my slot she was not able to tell me much just that they or working on filling the earned slots. Can someone give me some info on hotels and where the range would be? I am trying to have every thing ready for when it gets closer. This is a first really big match I am going to and it looks like I might be going by myself. I went to area 4 and won D class I have a GM and a A shooter that I am friends with that went.

ErikW Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Chris40, read the "Quincy" thread started by TheOtherErik. TDean, you need to win two or more nationals stages to get any respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Mink Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Since I won two slots in 2003, I get to enter twice, and keep the best out of the two runs for score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 i just got the call about two hours ago. i have my slot for the handgun nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm wondering if it's fully refundable. I can afford it now, in anticipation of being gainfully employed in the future, but if I'm still income-less months from now, I can't afford it then. I'm also wondering whether the slot is division-dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Kim has called twice to ask if I want a slot. Maybe a goof and I got two coming. HA Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwhiz Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 My sixteen year old son got offered a slot. This is his first year of shooting. He is so pissed that he has to go to school instead. Maybe next year the match will be when school age Juniors can attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Got my call from Kim tonight. She seemed to be a bit confused as to whether we had already spoken or not; which we had not. I asked her whether the slot was for production, limited, or open. She said any of the above, that "I had a slot and just needed to bring whichever gun I wanted and shoot". A different approach than the last couple of years where my slots were specific to a division... limited, production, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I got an e-mail that said they tried to call but couldn't get through. I haven't had a chance to call back yet and I'm curious....how long will they hold the slot? It's Christmas time and I can't afford it right now ( those darn kids).

Rob Boudrie Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The $10 deposit for a waitlist slot is refundable only if you are not offered a slot. If you accept a slot when offered it's fully credited to you entry fee. If you are offered a slot and turn it down, the $10 is not refunded. This was necessary because USPSA HQ spent a *lot* of time last year contacting people who signed up on the waitlist but did not accept slots. This was so prevalent that the only reasonable conclusion was that people signed up for the waitlist on a "just in case" basis without any real intention of going. The $10 is minimal, but should increase the quality of the waiting list. As a separate matter, there are cutoff dates and refund policies for cancellation of a paid registration, however, I would prefer to let USPSA HQ speak to the details directly rather than risk "getting it wrong."
