The current World Shoot Team Selection Policy specifies in part that teams will be determined based on point accumulation at specified matches, including “The total points of the best two (of three) BOD approved qualification matches in 2007.” The qualification matches will be selected by the board from among Level III matches willing and able to adhere to the following criterion that submit a proposal no later than July 31, 2006.
Qualifying matches must agree to use and enforce all IPSC rules without the US exceptions. IPSC rules differ from USPSA rules on such issues as warnings, sight pictures, Division and category definitions, power factors, and ammunition requirements among others. Matches must be IPSC sanctioned as Level III events ( see http://www.ipsc.org/regmat.php ). IPSC criterion for Level III matches can be found on page 78 (Appendix A1 – IPSC Match Levels) of the current (green) rule book.
Matches may, at their option, participate in the USPSA official match ammunition program.
Final selection of qualifying matches will be dependent upon the best national mix of interested matches as to match dates and geographic location. If a match is not selected, nothing prevents holding the match under this criterion without the qualifier designation.
