9.3 Universal Semi-Automatic Classification |
| The
classification attained by shooting the Classifier in any
semi-automatic pistol division must be applied to all other
semi-automatic pistol divisions. For example, if an SSP
shooter receives an Expert classification, they are then
also classified as Expert in CCP, ESP, and CDP. |

RULES
The Classifier Match |
|
Only current IDPA-affiliated clubs may run Classifiers and only
current IDPA members may shoot the Classifier. New shooters that
have applied for IDPA membership, but do not yet have an IDPA
number may shoot the Classifier and the results will be held by
the Match Director until the shooter receives a membership
card.
Only the Match Director and Certified SOs specifically
designated by the MD or Club Contact can hold a Classifier match
for one person or several squads as needed. However, an MD or SO
may not run the Classifier for him/herself. Every
IDPA-affiliated club must run the Classifier as one of their
monthly matches at least once per year. To accommodate local
shooters that want to shoot Sanctioned Matches, holding more
than one Classifier per year is recommended.
The Classifier must be shot as a single seventy-two(72) round
match, shot all in one day to the best of one’s ability. It is
permissible to allow reshoots of a whole stage due to equipment
problems and/or shooter mental errors for the purpose of
accurate Classification as long as the reshoot occurs on the
same day as the rest of the Classifier. However, no reshoots of
individual strings of fire are permitted. If the Classifier is
part of a scored match with other IDPA stages or the shooter is
trying to attain a six firearm award, no reshoots are
permitted.
During the Classifier only, shooters may load to division
capacity, or fully load their normal IDPA compliant magazines,
or load to any count sufficient to complete a string as
required. The two strings that require downloading must use the
exact loading specified.
A concealment garment is optional for the Classifier.
Stage One. Limited Scoring, 7 yards (6.4 meters) See Stage
Procedure for IDPA Classifier Stage 1.
Stage Two. Limited Scoring, 10 yards and 5 yards (9.1 meters and
4.6 meters) See Stage Procedure for IDPA Classifier Stage 2.
Stage Three. Limited Scoring, 20 yards and 15 yards (18.3 meters
and 13.7 meters) See Stage Procedure for IDPA Classifier Stage
3.
The start position for all strings is standing erect with hands
naturally at sides.
A Bianchi barricade is 72” tall and 24” wide (1.8 meters x 0.6
meters.)
Barrels are stacked two high and the fault lines run
perpendicular to the targets 3.5' feet off the centerline on
each side.
