[sinzitu]

OK...Let's try this again.


This month's match will be an IDPA Classifier.

There will be NO new shooters class this day and we will start the match at noon.

I think you said that this event will conclude IDPA matches for the year. When does it start up again? TIA.

 

[Numidian]

I am in !

 

[herr.baer]

I hope to make it

 

[CrawfishStu]

I'm in.

I'd also like to get classified. Do you do the classification and then the match?

 

[davsco]

the match is the classification and vice versa. assuming you're an idpa member, tcsc will send in your results and idpa will classify (rank) you based on how you stack up with everyone else across the USA shooting those same stages.

Joined idpa.
I'm set.

I had a friend that I shoot with that wanted to come shoot but I just saw that there is no new shooter class that day.

This typically is the last match of the year.

I'm working with the club to see if we can schedule a November date. If approved, this will be the IDPA Postal match. I'll post up the date & details if/when this gets approved.

The Postal Match looks like a fun one.

FYI - I got approval to have the Postal Match on Novemebr 15th. As we get closer I'll post another thread as a reminder.

What is the postal match?

 

[davsco]

normally when a club does classifier matches, they pick a few stages from a bunch of standardized stages. for the 'postal' match, each club runs the exact same (four, i think) stages so you can see how you did against everyone across the USA.

That was my question

I understood what the stages were... I didn't understand why it was called a "Postal Match" None of the stages had anything to do with irate government workers

Ahhh my bad..

 

[davsco]

yeah not sure why it's called 'postal' either as the stages didn't seem to have anything to do with post office or 'going postal.'

I can only assume it's because everyone mails in their scores for a national compilation.
