Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Could the SASS office or whoever is in charge of the website please put up the correct sanctioning map on the Shooting Events page. The one showing is incorrect. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Jackaroo, If I recall correctly, and no guarantees there, the new map doesn't take effect until 2018. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I knew about that one, but I was wondering if, because of the realignment of the "Regions", there had also been a realignment of the "Divisions" or if bringing back the Central Division was planned. Possibly that is why it was not yet defined on the 2018 map and I was just curious if anyone had heard anything. Always seemed strange to me to split the Southwest and Midwest Regions down the middle for the Divisions, but I realize that when the Central Division went away, they needed to do something. It does, however, create an issue for folks who win either of those two Regional matches and get free entries into their Divisional match. I'm sure it will all sort itself out before the shootin' starts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee sgt. Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 My understanding the only change for 2017 is Mississippi is in southeast, then all the regions change to new layout & matches For 2018 with new 2018 map maybe someone from SASS office could chime in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Ah well,...there you go I thought it was in effect from 2017, and as Cherokee said, we have Missouri in the SW Regional in Oct I think and MS drops off, that's why I thought it was in effect. OK all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The most intersting thing about the first map posted is that the red numbers are the number of SASS members in each state and in each region. Add them up and it is around 24,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I had noticed that when it first came out. Considering the spread, SASS did a reasonably good job with balancing the regions in terms of population. I am pretty sure that those numbers were somewhat dated when published ( as are most statistics ) due to the time lag between data sample and publication. Not sure about your area, but we have seen a recent increase in new SASS members. At a monthly match back in April, the weather was terrible and we only had 13 shooters. Thing is, 5 of them were new shooters with SASS numbers in the 1049XX plus range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's funny that one of the least populated states (Wyoming) has one of the best attended state championships, more attend HOW than the Eastern Divisional, and several regional matches. One cannot use the number of shooters in a state for sanctioning purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Does this mean that this year is the last Mason Dixon Stampede? Please say it isn't so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eastern Divisional is scheduled at the Mason Dixon Stampede through at least 2019, and I would hope for many years beyond that. Even if SASS were to decide to revamp the match hierarchy, the Stampede will live on, in some form, for a long, long time. My honest opinion (well a guess is more like it as I Know Nothing!), is that SASS would like to reintroduce a Central Division match, and until that gets sorted out, have chosen not to announce the boundaries for the Divisionals. Purely speculation on my part, but heck it sure beats jumping in on the Rank Point vs Total Time discussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Looking at the numbers on the map it would appear that SASS has 24+K members. Not sure I can make anything of that other than SASS has 24,000+ members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
