Class determination
How are classes determined??? I am currently in class 2, and i like the look of that until I am in a shoot and perform to class 4.
How is it that a I am in class 2? I am not anywhere near the likes of La Cavalla's potential. John, please take a look prior to salute the colors.

Classification and Scoring
Sorry that I did not see your question b/4 yesterdays shoot. It certainly would have been easier to talk face to face than type the explanation here.
OK, when you become a new member, you shoot as a Guest until you have 3 scores to average out. Based on that average you are put into a Class. When you win a shoot, you automatically advance to the next higher class. When you come in as Runner up, you get 2 points, when 3rd in Class, 1 point. When you accumulate 3 points you advance to the next higher Class. No points are given for winning a Sub-Class (Vet, Lady, Jr, etc.)
Twice annually, January & July, we re-Classify based on your "running" average. If your average is relatively low you will drop down a Class. Never more than one Class down at a time. If your average is relatively high, you will advance up. Upwards you can jump 1, 2 or even 3 classes in a single bound.
Hopefully this answers your question and perhaps it will also help other club members who read this reply. The best way to become completely familiar with the art of scoring is to jump in feet first and do it. Not that I am looking to retire or anything, but semi-retirement sounds pretty good. :)
A classification suggestion...
I think the Travelers system works pretty well, but I'd like to suggest an improvement. Using the "known ability" concept I'd like to recommend that anyone who is in NSCA Master or AA classes should automatically be in CTSCA Class 1. It would be the shooter's responsibility to notify CTSCA of their class (which most do for target registration).
There is really no excuse for a master class shooter being in class 3.
What do you think???
What An Open Door
All comments about class aside, your class is based on your average in Travelers events. If you place in the top three often enough you might get bumped up.
