I think we have different definitions of "local match." To me, that term means a L1 match of between 3 and 5 stages in a fairly casual environment, and <150 rounds. (Usually <100, TBH.) To me, a L2 match is a big deal, probably because I only get to shoot one/year, but it's a whole other animal; takes all day, 300+ rounds, 10+ stages, and serious competition where the weaker shooters from the small local matches don't even show up.
