ORSA Toys for Tots Match - Nov 2

[2Alpha]

The Oak Ridge Sportsman Association (ORSA) will be hosting our 7th Annual Toys for Tots Match.  This is a "hybrid" pistol match - IPDA scoring but without any cover/concealment/reloading restrictions.  The match will include 8 varied pistol stages, cost is only $35 + a new toy, and that includes lunch for all shooters, a goody bag, and a chance at a prize table that will have a minimum of 4 guns on it.  Its a great cause, a lot of fun, and good food.  More information and an registration form is available at orsaap.com and orsaidpa.com.

[2Alpha]

No word on the lunch menu, but for those of you who have attended before, you know how good the food is. 

 

The prize table is continuing to grow. Tactical Advantage (formerly Coal Creek Armory) is a major sponsor again, and Sig has stepped on board as a major sponsor this year along with Magpul and Springfield Armory.  In addition, we are getting strong support from Shooters Connection, Brownells, MidwayUSA, Predator Arms, and the Gilbert Perez's Patriot Shooting Academy.  We are continuing to get new sponsors on board and will keep you updated.

What is the timeline?

[Rickey]

I'm looking forward to shooting this match I think it'll be a lot of fun even though it might be a little much using a revolver

[BrasilNuts]

As a "Hybrid" pistol match, how are you going to do classes/divisions?

Round count?

I shot T4T last year, but I can't remember. Edited October 16, 2013 by BrasilNuts

[Rickey]

I maybe wrong but the way I understand it is there's no classes or divisions just a heads up match with a 10 rd max on mags with IDPA legal equipment

[BrasilNuts]

Just trying to figure out which Glock I want to shoot. Might go ESP G19.

[2Alpha]

It is a "hybrid" match.  We use IDPA targets/scoring with what I like to call IPSC no-rules, ie. there are no rules regarding cover, concealment, or reloads.  No race guns or gear allowed.  No divisions. We use the Lewis system to award the prizes.  There will Gold (G), Silver (S), Bronze (B) winners.  

[Glock26]

How many mags are you allowed?

[2Alpha]

How many mags are you allowed?

As many as you want to carry.  Double velcro belts are allowed.

 

 

As far as the round count, the 8 stages are not final yet but the round count will probably be in the 180-225 range, but bring more.

Are we still limited to 10 rds per mag? Thanks! Sounds like this will be a blast.

[2Alpha]

Correct - max of 10 rounds per magazine

[2Alpha]

The Prize table is getting better everyday.

Stripped AR lowers

[Rickey]

I'm also bringing a Gift Certificate from Master-Tac worth $100 for holster and accessories. 

[timcalhoun]

Should we send in our apps or can we show up with money/toy the morning of the match??

[2Alpha]

I would prefer that you send in your application so I can get you in the computer, make your packet with labels, and get you squadded up appropriately.

[2Alpha]

Thank you Rickey - In addition to Master-Tac, we will also have some Geissele gear coming, including a trigger or 2, courtesy of Bill Geissele and Deliberate Dynamics.

[timcalhoun]

As previously stated, we will use IDPA scoring but generally follow USPSA rules, ie. no cover, concealment, or goofy reloading restrictions.  Below are the rules for the match somewhat more precisely articulated:

 

 

 

 

 

7^th Annual ORSA Toys for Tots Match

November 2, 2013

 

MATCH RULES:

 

Equipment:

 

Any handgun that is legal for USPSA Limited division is legal for this match.  For those unfamiliar with USPSA rules, any gun that is IDPA legal would conform with this rule, as would any USPSA divison gun except for Open.

 

Any holster and magazine pouch that is legal for USPSA production or IDPA is legal for this match.

 

Regardless of size, no more than 10 rounds may be loaded into a magazine (and fewer if so stated by the course description).

 

Holsters and Magazines must be positioned behind the hip bone.

 

Double belt systems may be used.

 

 

Scoring:

 

IDPA scoring system will be used.  Each point down will add 0.5 seconds to the competitor’s time.  Procedural penalties will be 3 seconds. Hits on a No-Shoot target will carry a 5 second penalty.   Failure to neutralize a target will carry a 5 second penalty, except on Stage 8 (Steel Challenge Stage), where missing a target will result in a 3 second penalty.

 

Awards:

 

Upon the completion of the match, the order of finish for all the competitors will be determined, and divided into equal thirds.  The upper third will be designated Gold (G) Division, middle third Silver (S) Division, and bottom third Bronze (B  ) Division.

The Divisions will be split as described below:

 

If the total number of shooters equals 3n: the number of shooters in each division will equal n. 

 

If the total number of shooters equals 3n+1: the number of shooters in Gold Division and Silver Division will equal n; the number of shooters in Bronze Division will equal n+1

 

If the total number of shooters equals 3n+2: the number of shooters in Gold Division will equal n; the number of shooters in Silver Division and Bronze Division will equal n+1

 

Winners will go to the prize table in the following order:

 

 

First Gold

First Silver

First Bronze

Second Gold

Second Silver

Second Bronze

Third Gold

Third Silver

Third Bronze

Fourth place overall

Fifth place overall

Sixth place overall

And so forth until the prize table is clear.

 

 

SAFETY RULES

 

ALL USPSA safety rules will be strictly enforced.  ORSA is a cold range, guns are to remain unloaded until directed by the RO/SO to make Ready.  Guns will not be handled unless under the direction of RO/SO; or in the designated Safety Areas.  Ammunition may not be handled in the Safety Areas.

 

 

APPEALS

 

All decisions by the Range Master are final.
