My vote is no qualifying. I see this more as a big party for single shot shooters. Is there a better way to disenfranchise new shooters then to tell them they can't come if they are not already experts? Besides, the qualifying thing already makes this into an ISSA sort of match.
Much of the format will have to be based on how many days for the shoot, benches available and how many shooters to accommodate. I agree that we don't want to leave anyone out and that wasn't my intent regarding qualifying.
I was really looking at the qualifying aspect as more "hyp" leading up to the shoot itself, insuring the best shooters get a spot and a way to generate more money to finance it. But, what I'd rather hear is that the boards of both organizations, decided that there should be no qualifying
The rules will not be mine but, for the boards to decide. These are my ideas for options for the format, nothing else. All ideas are more than welcome.
I'm not sure how your linking qualifying to the ISSA, as I've never had to qualify to shoot any matches.
Another thing to think about is, how many on this forum would like to be able to meet the other members and talk, face to face?
