Allow me to give you the following summary of the system... - ICS is voluntary but will require all participating shooters to be current members of their home Region and to have an "IPSC Alias". - ICS provides the mechanism to classify all participating IPSC shooters in the World. - Currently there are 74 approved stages. They may be shot individually or as part of a match. - ICS is a dynamic system. Classifications will move up and down based on the shooters performance records. - Classification records are calculated by Division. - Individual records are calculated by comparing a shooters stage hit factor to the highest hit factors for that stage in that Division. - As the database develops and the best shooters record their scores, the class percentages will change to reflect better hit factors at the top. - A shooter can achieve initial Classification with 4 scores. ICS will be based on the average of the best 4 scores of the most recent 8 classification results. - In order to maintain their Classification, shooters must keep current IPSC membership and submit scores for a minimum of two Classification Stages or one approved Classification Match each calendar year. - Shooters will be removed from the system at the end of the second consecutive year where no scores are submitted. - A fee will be collected by the club or match organizers for each shooter wishing to submit scores. If a club puts on 1-4 stages (maximum) either in a match or simply as a classification event, the fee is $3 per shooter. If more than 4 records are submitted, the fee will be $6 per shooter. - Alias Look-up is available on-line to allow shooters to look-up their ICS results and world ranking using their alias. Remember, everyone must have their IPSC Alias recorded at IPSC Headquarters before they can register to have their scores entered. If you have already registered an alias and have competed in any of the following matches; 2000 Pan-American Championship 2001 American Handgunner Postal Match 2001 European Championship then you can look up your standings to date. If you have an alias and have competed in Open or Standard Division in any of the above three matches and do not find your standings please contact us at ics@ipsc.org and we will try to update our records accordingly.

Version 1 will score IPSC matches for Comstock and Virginia Count Standards. Version 2 will score the above plus HFx which will be for evaluation only, and by summer, Version 3 will allow for multiple computer input. And much, much, more.. WinMSS will be available to download from the IPSC site at the end of this month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FIREARM IMPORT PERMITS FOR THE USA "Form 6" -------- The US Administration (BATF) published proposed rules changes that will require non-immigrant aliens to get an import permit to bring a firearm into the United States. The new rules have gone into effect February 19. I previously reported that this new permit which takes 6 - 12 weeks to process will be good for 12 months. This is true but it is for a single entry ONLY. Which means every time you enter the USA with a firearm you will require a new Form 6. I met with the head of the BATF Firearms Program Division and expressed our concerns with the single entry aspect. We feel that the 12 month import permit should allow multiple entries. Our discussions continue... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IPSC CHALLENGE "ShootFest!" ------------ The 2002 IPSC Challenge has been rescheduled for Wednesday through Saturday, July 24 - 27. 18 stages, 360 rounds and will be back-to-back with the USPSA "Factory Gun National Championship" which runs Saturday through Tuesday, July 20 - 23. The Challenge is a new kind of match. It will combine six disciplines (think Three-Gun Championship on steroids) - Open, Standard, Production, Revolver, Rifle, and Shotgun - three stages fired in each discipline; one short, one medium, one long. Shooters may shoot their own guns and ammo in Open and Standard (rentals will also be available). Firearms and ammo for the other four disciplines will be provided by Match sponsors. Discipline scores will be combined to determine overall aggregate winners (similar to procedures for previous 3-Gun matches), to crown the first All-Division "IPSC GRAND MASTER" - the best all-round IPSC shooter in the world! Also Six-person State Team Competition for combined Division Team Awards will be recognized. Each team member will post a team score for only one discipline, selected at registration. All team members compete in all disciplines but only their pre- registered individual discipline score will count toward the Team Results. More information as available... For detailed information sheet, entry forms, and invitation letters, contact by email - PASAinfo@PASApark.com. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NSSF/NRA STRATEGIC PLANNING CONFERENCE "Environmental Stewardship" -------------------------- IPSC attended the second NSSF/NRA Shooting Range Conference which is developing strategic plans to meet the future needs of our shooting facilities. Once finalized, I will have a full report for Regional Directors and provide the Strategic Plan's Vision Statement and Statement of Principles. We recognize the importance of good environmental stewardship and in helping our shooting facilities to manage future environmental concerns in a responsible manner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PREVIEW "Coming up..." -------------- - More on World Shoot XIII - Upcoming matches - and much more You're in the loop... Keep the faith, DVC Nick Copyright 2002 International Practical Shooting Confederation.
