If previous matches can be used as a precedent, you should be able to. The down-side to that plan is they usually have the shooting order be "first come, first served." So you would likely be one of the last to shoot and may have to wait a while. But if you don't mind waiting, I think they would let you do that. (It is possible one of the IDPA Nebraska guys may contradict me here though!)

Spot on.  First come, first serve.

Thanks for the information.  I don't mind waiting; watching those who've done it before gives me a chance to get a better sense of what I'm doing.

FYI,

Just a reminder to encourage folks to use the online signup at www.idpamatchsignup.com to register in advance so that the scoresheets and squadding can be prepared ahead of time. Payment will be on-site for all registrants (cash or check as there is no card processing on-site).

Since we will only have 3 Safety Officers for the 3 areas of stages (6-stage match), folks doing a walk-in registration after the start of the match will probably have to wait until we can fit them in for on-site registration in between the other shooters.

Also, even though the match is announced as 2:00-6:00pm, if we finish the registered shooters earlier than 6:00pm, we will break down the stages early.

Thanks and see y'all on Saturday.  These are some fun stages!!  8)

Is this a match where you get more points for a major caliber than for a minor one, like more for a .40 than for a 9mm?
