MN Sectional

[tizzo]

Can anyone help me out with the details on the MN Section on Oct. 1-2? I haven't registered yet, so I know I'd be paying a bit more than if I had registered earlier, what is that dollar amount? Also, are there any requirements to being able to shoot this match? Lastly, I'm not classified as of yet, I heard that I'd be scored with the Class A shooters.

Thanks

You must be a USPSA member.

You should be scored as "U". (unclassified)

Don't know the cost. I haven't shot it in a couple of years but I do know that this years cost is more than previous years.

$85.00... Like Keith said. There is going to be a drawing for guns and goodies this year that is why the match costs more. http://www.uspsa3.org/LinkClick.aspx?li ... 10&mid=560

I BELIEVE that its 75 bucks. i wont be going this year due to moving that weekend. its a great experience for any newer USPSA shooter. ive been shooting USPSA since last may and havent been to the MN section match yet...

Put your life on hold and get your ars to a Sectional... sandbagger!

I just double checked it's $85.00 for all late comers.

So it's worth attending as first year shooter who's unclassified and on a budget?

If I were a new shooter and on a budjet? I would not attend this match. I am working the match as a RO and am very involved in MN USPSA. Shoot some more local league matches and shoot some of the Points Matches, then go to a Level 2 match... IMHO. If you have the cash to blow then by all means shoot it.

$15 - $20 is a normal Saturday/Sunday 5 - 6 stage match.

I'm not sure how many stages this Sectional is ... probly not much more 'n 6, I'd guess. The stages'll probly be a bit fancier than normal. Couldn't say as to whether they're $65 fancier.

I thought I heard someone mention a prize-table? ... this is usually why a match'd be much over $30. And, IIRC, the prizes are typically awarded via random-drawing (IOW, in last place, ya got as much chance to win a prize!) ... not that you'd place last!

Where is the sectional?

It's 8 stages, they are here:

I'd agree with Dan and say if you are brand new there are better uses of money.

There are a couple nice things about the state sectional.

1. There are a lot of shooters from all over the state (about 85 so far), if you want to know where you stand in a division in MN, you'll know.

2. RO's are certified and assigned to stages, which generally leads to more consistent application of the rules and less made up rules.

3. Squad sizes are limited to 10. This along with #2 usually means the day goes pretty fast, unless your squad is really lazy you can move through stages pretty quick.

4. If you think that you will shoot nationals or an area match anytime in the near future, go. Area's and Nationals aren't run like local matches, they are run like the sectional. It's good to see before you blow $300-$500 to shoot a match and get kicked in to open for putting your barney mag in the wrong pocket, or having a piece of grip tape in the wrong spot on your production gun.

5. Prize table
