This program shall recognize as Points Series Champions the winners of each classification in each division.

Participation: This program is limited to USPSA members who are classified in the division in which the member participates by the time the event closes each year.

Annual Registration Fees: All members who desire to participate in this program shall pay an annual registration fee of $25 per year per Division in which they wish to compete to USPSA. Members shall be allowed to tender this fee to the match director prior to shooting their first qualifying match and the match director shall remit the full registration fee to USPSA. This fee shall be annual, non-refundable, fully earned upon payment. This fee shall be retained by USPSA to administer this program and other USPSA functions.

Dates: The program shall run from January 1 st until December 31 st of each year. Within 45 days of the close of the program each year, USPSA shall announce the winners and distribute the awards earned by each shooter.

Classifications: All participating members shall be deemed classified in each division for purposes of this program by their classifications as shown on USPSA records at the close of the program each year. USPSA shall not allow any petition for revision downward in classification for any member participating in this program.

Division Champion : Trophy only

GM, M, A, B, C and D Champion Per Division: Trophy only

Qualifying Matches: The following matches shall be qualifying matches:

  • Area Matches
  • State or Sectional Matches as approved by their Area Director

Points received from the Area Matches will be multiplied by two, and points received from State, Sectional, or other matches would not be multiplied.
