ENPS: The ZOMBIES ARE COMING! (On October 26th....)
JTH:
You've got two months to prepare. And then...THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING.
This year, we'll have divisions for Centerfire Iron Pistol, Centerfire Open Pistol, .22 Pistol, .22 Rifle, and Pistol-Caliber Centerfire Rifle.
For information, go to the website at: http://precisionresponse.4t.com/Zombie1/ZombieMatch.html
It has general match info, divisions, rules, scoring---and eventually we'll have stages up there for you to look at. If you know you are going to be able to shoot the match, pre-register online through Practiscore (link is on the website). It'll make our registration MUCH faster at the match. Once we get (and accept) your registration, we'll clear you to squad yourself. As time progresses, we might be able to fit some people in on Saturday when the staff shoots, so if you absolutely can't shoot the match any other time, send us an email and we'll see if we can get you in on Saturday. (We can only fit a couple of extra people, though, so please only ask if you absolutely have no other choice.)
If you are on Facebook, like our page at:
http://www.facebook.com/ENPSZombieMatch
...to get updates, pictures, and (ahem) helpful hints for match success.
So you don't get eaten by zombies.
(If you are a USPSA RO or CRO and I haven't sent you an email yet, drop me a message because we use help staffing the match...)
Here's what attendance has looked like in the past four years:
* 2010: 55 shooters
* 2011: 89 shooters
* 2012: 102 shooters
* 2013: 118 shooters
* 2014: ...??
...so let's get out there and SHOOT!
We'd like to beat last year's record. Cost is only $20 or a new-in-the-box toy---and everything goes to the Marine Toys-For-Tots Foundation. We aren't keeping any of it---ENPS is donating the equipment, and the match staff are donating their time. It's a worthy cause, folks. (And feel free to donate MORE. Last year we ended up being able to donate almost $1500 and 3 HUGE boxes of toys.)
Pre-register for the match, and practice those headshots!

I attended this event last year. It was a fun time and a great cause.
The Marines that were there seemed genuinely impressed with the turnout and the contributions.
I am working on freeing up that day on my schedule, and encourage anyone thinking about it, to give it a try.

Thought I'd add a direct link to the Practiscore pre-registration page:
https://clubs.practiscore.com/enps-annual-toys-for-tots-charity-zombie-match-v/register
Remember---if you pre-register, once the registration gets approved you'll get an email allowed you to squad yourself--and that way you can shoot with your 14 favorite friends. (Hm, there's an idea---should we have a "Best Zombie Shooter Squad" competition? Highest average match percentage finish in the combined results by squad? That would take a bit of extra spreadsheet work, but I think I could do that....) Give us a bit to get your registration approved, by the way--we don't just sit at the computer waiting for registrations. :)
If you show up on match day and register, we'll get you in to shoot---but you won't be able to pick your squad (or the people you get to shoot with), we'll simply be fitting you in wherever we have space.
Pre-registering helps us a lot---it allows us to get a LOT of the match details done before match day, which means a lot fewer headaches for everyone.
(Remember---if you pre-register, you STILL need to show up and check in on match day prior to 8:30. You just get to use the FAST lane at registration. :) )

Forgive my ignorance Thomas, .... on the practiscore registration it only allows entry into one division. Do I complete one for each division? Does each entry cost $20?

You only get to shoot one division. :)
The match has 7 stages, and with an expected competitor count of over 100 people, there won't be time to run you twice (just like any other large major match).
The only people who have the option to shoot more than one division are those few people who volunteer and are selected as match setup staff. Those folks help build all the stages on Friday and Saturday, and shoot with the staff on Saturday. If they choose to do so, with a donation they can shoot an additional division on Sunday with the rest of the competitors. (Note: regular match staff doesn't get this option, because they'll be running stages all day Sunday.)
