2008 IDPA Postal Match Information |
|
 |
May 15 - July 31, 2008 |
How do you compare to the rest of the world? |
|
Sometimes you just can't make it to other clubs to shoot. You still have that urge to see how you stack up against competitors
outside your area. Participation in the 2008 Postal Match will allow you to see how you compare with other shooters not only from
the US but also from around the world.
|
|
Our match designers have come up with four (4) entertaining and challenging scenarios. Each scenario has detailed instructions
and measurements on how to lay out and shoot the course of fire. These courses of fire are designed to be revolver neutral as well
as left- and right-handed neutral.
|
|
Scoring software for this match is provided free of charge by Beach Bunny Software, creator of ForScore software. ForScore is the
official scoring software for the IDPA National Championship.
|
|
NOTE: This is NOT a sanctioned match and classifications will NOT be advanced based on results
from this match.
|
Welcome to the 2008 IDPA® Postal Match!
Last year, more than 900 shooter scores were entered in the first Postal Match. This year, we're hoping for more.
|
|
This year's stages were again designed by Ken and Lenny of the Phillipsburg Pistol Club in NJ.
|
Rules:
- This is not a sanctioned match. It does not
affect shooters' classifications nor count toward the two-match
requirement to be eligible to shoot the Nationals.
- You must set up the match stages as accurately
as you can.
- Concealment must be worn for all stages.
- All competitors must be current IDPA members.
- All competitors must be classified Novice or
above in the division in which they are shooting.
- If a shooter is not classified in the division
in which he is shooting but holds a current classification in another
division, he may compete using the highest classification he presently
holds per page 72 of the current rule book.
- Each competitor may compete only once in any
division. If more than one score for a division is submitted, the
earliest match score will be used and other scores will be rejected.
- All scoring must be done using the software
supplied on the IDPA website. This will generate a file that you can
email.
- All scores must be submitted electronically:
- as an attachment to an email sent to PostalMatch at idpa.com, or
- saved to a disk and mailed to:
IDPA Postal Match
2232 CR 719

updated on a regular basis on
www.nepaidpascores.net/postal/index.htm.

Scoring:
Scoring MUST be done using the software provided by Beach Bunny Software. This is to cut down on the amount
of time the scorekeepers spend collating data. This software is FREE and easy to use. Any
scores submitted in any format other than that used by this software will not be accepted.
The software is available
here.
