Classification clarification

[StinkyPete]

If a person has shot a 3rd class score and two seconds, does this equate to a third class, or does the archer remain u/c as they have not shot three rounds at a particular classification? The GNAS rule book is not clear on this

[Murray]

It's a third class classification

[Furface]

...and the archer only needs one more second class score for a second class classification

classification clarification - don't try saying that after you've been to the pub MM!!!

[StinkyPete]

Mmmm, this is conflicting with what I've been told. The rationalle was: If you've obtained a classification at a round then this is the class your shooting at, anything below it is below par and you cannot get the lower class because you are capable of the upper one. (in my example 2nd)

(Should I entitle the "Correction in Classification Clarification" !)

(Or if I continued "Constant Correction in Classification Clarification" !)

now I'm just being silly

Murray is correct.
You need 3 qualifying scores to get a higher a classification. One or two (unfortunately) is not enough.

By that rationale, if you manage a season when you shoot (say) two 1150 FITAs and an 1191, because you've shot one MB score you are not allowed to claim Bowman.

Yeah, right - Whattalottacrap. It's third class, now get out there and get another 2nd.

From what I understand-

You can either get a 3rd class from what you have. However if you do this it effectively "uses" the seconded class scores. To then get 2nd class you will need to shoot 3 new second class scores to get 2nd Class.

However if you don't 'claim' the 3rd class you can just shoot another 2nd score and claim the 2nd classification.

Though this is what someone told me, so I don't know if it's correct.

On the forum is a very good piece of record-keeping software - I did say thanks, didn't I? - which works the way I would expect. That is that all qualifying scores are counted as such i.e. if you shoot a total of 50 rounds in a season, and all 50 are equal to or above third class, then they are recorded as such - if 30 of those scores qualify as second class the same goes - and if 10 qualify as first class same again. So if I'm getting it right your record for the season using the above example would be: FIRST CLASS 10 - SECOND CLASS 30 - THIRD CLASS 50.
Even the first class scores still qualify as reaching third class. If this isn't the case, then I'm more than happy to be corrected.

Thats how I believed it to be and it didn't seem like rocket science
