All

Hope you are well.

The Rocky Mountain 300 will go live on January 23, 2022 at 7:00 pm Mountain time for registration. I will approve shooters as fast as I can. You will then need to go to Practiscore and pay online. If you want a shirt they are an extra $20 each. Please add that on when paying.

You will have 30 days to pay, if you don't pay within the 30 days you will be dropped and your spot will go to the next shooter on the waitlist.

You will squad at a later date. I will let you know when.

Hope everyone is well.

Unfortunately we will not be able to have the Rocky Mountain 300 on the scheduled dates of June 5-7. The restrictions from the state will not allow more then 10 people per event at this time and the range doesn't think it will change much by June.
So I will be rescheduling the match for later in the year. Probably in October.
With a lot of other matches rescheduling, the next few months are quite full. I hope to have a date for everyone by Monday.

I will do my best to refund entry fees if you are not able to attend but realize that I have spent most of the money already.

Any questions let me know [email protected]

Thanks for your understanding

FYI

USPSA recognizes the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on hosting events in a public space. Many USPSA members and affiliates have reached out to USPSA with a variety of questions related to upcoming matches at all levels. In response to concerns raised by a number of our members, as well as consultation with multiple experts on the situation, out of abundance of caution USPSA has decided to reschedule some of the 2020 National Championship matches.

The upcoming USPSA Multi-gun National Championship hosted by Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida, has been rescheduled for June 13-14, 2020, with staff competing on June 11-12, 2020.

The upcoming USPSA PCC National Championship hosted by Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida, has been rescheduled for June 20-21, 2020, with staff competing on June 18-19, 2020.

We have been advised that behavioral risk mitigation strategies are the best option for slowing the spread of this disease, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have published recommendations and guidelines for mass gatherings which can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/mass-gatherings-ready-for-covid-19.html

99.92% of all USPSA and Steel Challenge matches are operated by affiliated clubs, including non-profit and for-profit businesses, and individuals. USPSA and Steel Challenge affiliates, members, and match directors are encouraged to use the information available from CDC, the federal government, state governments, and local governments, coupled with their own risk tolerance levels and good judgement to guide them in what is best for matches at all levels. USPSA realizes that some matches will decide to cancel, while others may not. Here are some helpful hints from the CDC for hand hygiene and social distancing: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html
If your plans do not coincide with rescheduled match dates, please be considerate and understanding as match directors make adjustments to the details surrounding their events and event policies.

Weld USPSA match canceled.

I met with the executive level members of the WCPS board tonight. We have decided to cancel the Weld County match on Sunday.

The COVID-19 situation in the US has been rapidly changing over the last 48 hours, as have the recommendations from health agencies. I hope we look back at this and decide that it was unnecessary, but the next few weeks should give us more information than we have today.

I hope to see you all soon,
