No....IDPA tries to be as reality based as possible.  SSP, ESP, CDP, ESR and SSR are only division and delineations.  You can wear your team jersey like in USPSA though....  : )

Nope.  :) 

On the other hand, you don't ever get to load more than 10 rounds in a magazine (and even less, in some divisions) so there is no capacity advantage to any particular firearm, either.

(I'll note there are a couple of divisions in which you are required to shoot Major just to be in that division.  However, the scoring doesn't change.)

This was a really fun match. Its too bad we ran out of time and had to quit at 3 stages.

Yes, it was a fun match!  :). And we made history yesterday with a legacy moment of an IDPA Nebraska outdoor match at Ike's!!!!  8)

We had 36 registrants and great weather...well, the wind was interesting at times.  ;D

There was a mix-up with Ike's scheduling a Cowboy Match from 8-3 and then our IDPA Match from 2:00-6:00 :o , only to find out that they were done around 12:30!  :-[  Plus we used up match time for the pre-briefing and safety briefing, plus we surprisingly went from 21 online registrants the night before to 36 registrants (late online registration and walk-ins) by match time.

But all in all, we ran the three squads through 3 stages in lieu of the 6. If we didn't have space limitations (i.e., 3 bay areas instead of 6), we could have had 6 squads and done all 6 stages with time to spare. Maybe in the future, but for now (including the May 17 outdoor match) we'll have the same space scenario, so we'll prepare ourselves with that in mind and go from there.

The cooperation and camaraderie of everyone were fantastic!

Also, we are working behind the scenes on a couple of other outdoor venues that would have ample space for 6+ stages  ;)

Oh, did someone ask, "Hey, Aldo, where are the posted scores? Quit jabbering at the mouth and get them posted."  :o  Sooooooonnnn.....very soon.

Later.
