FOREWORD

The slot allocation is managed by the Executive Council of the IPSC in coordination with the match organizer and the Regional Director of the region where the competition is organized.

The pre-match slots are reserved for approved Match Officials and Organisation Crew, sponsors of the championship, IPSC Patrons, Dignitaries (approved by the Match Director and IPSC), who are members in good standing of their Region of residence, IPSC Executive Council members and Regional Directors.

The maximum slots available at the main match for 24 Stages level IV competitions are as follows:

Handgun (16 shooters/squad): 4 days = 768 – 5 days = 960

1 - SLOT ALLOCATION PRINCIPLES

The Level IV main match slots allocation is based on the following principles: - Between 10 to 30 slots are reserved to the Patrons

- The remaining slots are reserved to the regions

To promote development, each Region is entitled with 4 slots at the main match to register at least one team (4 shooters registered in the same Division in any category) under the condition that the Region was in voting position at the previous IPSC General Assembly (per capita fees equal to 100 members or more).

If the Region cannot register a Team (not enough shooters in the same division), only 2 slots are allocated.

If the Region mentioned over wasn’t in voting position at the last IPSC General Assembly, so only 2 slots are allocated.

All the other slots are allocated proportionately in function of the average of per capita fees paid by each Region during the past 3 years.

Example:

If there are 500 slots available for a total of 10 000 members worldwide, the factor calculation will be: 500/10000 = 0,05

If a Region X (in voting position at the last GA) = 1000 members, then the slot allocation is: 1000 x 0,05 = 50 slots

The final slot allocation for the Region X is:
