Match Notes
The procedure for classifiers is as follows: You are to shoot
the classifier the first time for match score period. There is no
practicing the stage before you shoot for match score period. You must
turn in all score sheets prior to getting another classifier score sheet. Failure to do this will incur rule 10.6.1 Also you must
see a match director before any reshoot is allowed period.

Let's have
some Courtesy
Lately I have noticed, or it has been brought to my
attention, that there are many inconsistencies in ROing
and scoring of stages at the monthly matches. We need to encourage
competitors to follow and apply the rules set by USPSA and the Club. In
order to do that and make the matches fair for all competitors, please do not
take the clock or board unless you have a good understanding of the rules and
range commands. If you would like to learn the rules and range commands,
please contact any match director or certified RO and we would be happy to help
you in any way we can. There are plenty of well versed, qualified USPSA
shooters and ROs available every match to help you if you need anything.
So…..if you don’t know the rules, please don’t run the clock.
I have also noticed, and am now starting to get way too
many complaints, that competitors are being spectators and not participating in
re-setting the stages for the next shooter. This applies to taping,
re-setting steel and picking up brass. You know who you are. We all
want to shoot and in order to do that; we need to re-set the stage.
Please, when your name is called, do your job! If an RO or match director
notices that you continue to ignore the request to help, your scorecard will be
placed on the bottom and you will get another chance to do your job.
Additionally, due to the actions of a few inconsiderate
people at the range there will be no more practice, function firing, chronographing, etc. of any kind without the match
director’s approval or until the match is completely finished and torn down.
The incident that ruined this for everyone happened today where someone
“practiced” on the classifier stage and left 50 plus holes in the targets
without resetting it while the match was still in progress.
This applies to all pistol matches held at Rio Salado
Sportsman’s Club.
Any questions please contact Paul Caudill or me.
Thank you for your support,

USPSA Nationals
Slots
The slots earned for the AZ Real Section generally arrive in March, are
processed, and then passed out to those that earned them. We have a very
limited number of slots for both the Open/L10 and Limited/Prod/Rev national
championship matches. If you are contacted, please respond as quickly as
possible so that the next in line can get their chance if you do not need or
want your slot.
The qualifications for earning a AZ
Real Section slot are:
1) Must be a member of both
USPSA and Rio Salado Sportsman's Club for the previous calendar year.
2) All scores from the
previous calendar year are tabulated and you are ranked by your best 5
scores. Ties are resolved by the higher number of matches shot.
3) You must have shot at least
5 matches in that division at the regularly held weekend matches of UPPL, RSPP,
RMAP, or Hosemasters.
