Let's get classified!
1) If you are not a member of SCSA / USPSA Join. (https://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-join-renew.php)
2) If you are a member, make sure your membership is up to date. (https://www.uspsa.org/login.php)
-
Only stages that bear "SC" numbers (SC-101, SC-102, etc.) are used for classification.
-
A minimum of four stages per division are required for classification.
-
Stages will not be included in the classification calculation until the activity fee for that match has been paid by the club hosting the match.
-
If you have shot a stage more than once, your best stage time will count.
-
A stage time is the aggregate time for the stage from a match (total of the best 4 of 5, or 3 of 4, times for the stage in a match).
-
Only stages shot in the current or previous calendar year are used for classification.
-
Your classification percentage can go down, however, once you earn a classification (A, B, etc.) it will not go down.
-
Your classification percentage is calculated as follows:
-
8.1 Your total time for all classifier stages that you shot is added up (Total_Stage_Time)
-
8.2 The total "peak times" for the stages you shot is added up (Total_Peak_Time)
-
8.3 Your percentage is defined as (Total_Peak_Time) / (Total_Stage_Time)
-
8.4 Your percentage is mapped to a classification
-
-
USPSA headquarters cannot process manual corrections to scores. If a score or division is incorrect, contact the match director and request corrected scores be uploaded. If a score cannot be correct, USPSA staff can mark it "invalid" (not to be used in classification)
-
Classifications are calculated early Wednesday AM on a weekly basis. This time was chosen to minimize the chances of a classification changing during a match.
