Classifier reporting to USPSA?

[Moylan]

I've been a member of USPSA since August. I shot my first classifier on September 18th. I am wondering how long it ordinarily takes for a classifier to be reported to USPSA and posted on my record. The site still says "no classifiers on record." I did register for the match through practiscore and they do have my USPSA number.

As a matter of fact, this classifier didn't go great, and I'd be glad for it to have gotten lost. But I'm wondering if that's what happened, or if there's just a really long delay usually on getting the USPSA site updated. Thanks!

It depends on when the club submits the scores and classifier fees. If your local club is slow or doesn't pay up, it can take a hot minute, plus USPSA usually only updates the website once a month.

I’ve had some clubs take a month to upload, most will do it that day or week.

USPSA updates their website weekly on Wed mornings except during Nationals weeks.

Thanks!

Doesn't it take shooting 4 classifiers until your classification is published?

it takes 4 until USPSA gives you a classification letter. Individual results and their percentage are visible on your member profile once the club uploads them to HQ. Scores are "validated" and become active towards your classification on Tuesday night in most cases.

Damn it's weekly now? Shows how long since I paid attention to USPSA

I remember the good ole days when everything went by mail.

Personally, I see no reason for delays in match uploads. It's so simple and easy to accomplish.

I run my matches on Saturday and upload the results Monday evening (like I did just a few minutes ago.) I wait two days for folks to look over the results and provide feedback if they see an error or some other issue with the results.

USPSA crunches out classifier updates Wednesday AM. Life is good.

Long live Practiscore!

That's the way it should be done. Having a review period saved me on my master bump. No one else noticed that the classifier was missing 5 points. Two stages on one pit, the popper was added to the wrong stage.

For the USPSA upload, I assume it's a fairly painless process? I run the tablet's for my home club's action pistol match, but I might volunteer to take on another club's USPSA tablets.
Currently for reasons unclear the MD uploads all the matches for the year at once in December, rendering the classifiers for most of us invalid.

The entire process is very simple and very painless IMHO. Upload match results to Practiscore.com. Wait a day or two to allow shooters to verify results are accurate. Go to practiscore website, download the "web report" (a text file) for the match in question. Upload the file to uspsa (match results upload under club resources), verify shooters and pay the fees. 10 minutes tops.

I really do not see what is to be gained by reporting match results once a year. But to each their own.

Well, my first classifier score got posted today! The second one is not up yet, but that's just from last week, so I'm not surprised. Hoping to shoot another classifier on Nov 13th. My stage plan for whatever classifier it turns out to be is to not completely mess it up. That seems like a solid strategy.

The best plan is just treat it like every other stage!
