This classification is based on shooting all 8 stages and is used to draw a comparison
between SCSA, USPSA & IPDA systems. Seven of the SCSA stages keep the best 4 of 5
strings and the eighth keeps the best 3 of 4 strings, giving a total of 31 strings. Your
score for these 31 strings is combined to create your Overall Match Score. Taking your
Overall Match Score and dividing by 31 can give you your String Average.

How we classify you.

For first match you attend, you will shoot in the classification where you are classified
by other organizations (IDPA, USPSA, etc). At the end of the match, your match results
will determine where you will be classified from there on. After 3 matches you will be given
a SCSA Classification. A shooter will be moved up in classification after placing in the next
highest category 3 times.
