Just a little FYI for everyone, come Oct.1 the only valid way of proving classifications will be through the IDPA database. But, some shooters at the Summer Sizzler that used their cards to prove classification were knocked to unclassified when the scores were entered in the IDPA database. They had no scores uploaded to the database. Again, this is suppose to be cool until Oct. 1 and then things were suppose to change. But evidently the HQ computer has decided it should change now.
Also, your classification is only valid if the classifier is shot once a year. While you can't drop in classification unless there are special circumstances approved by HQ, this doesn't mean your classification can't become invalid. It can and will if the classifier isn't shot once a year AND those scores uploaded to the database. With more folks venturing out into majors, just thought I would give a heads up.

I suspect any new cards mailed, if they continue to do cards, will be like USPSA cards, just thick paper. Could be wrong though, it seems like they are wanting everything done online. Puts a little more strain on registration and so forth, but that appears to be the direction.
