[QUOTE="rockon71385, post: 925064, member: 3839"] It's easy to sit back and discredit classifications. Saying, "I could be _ class if I wanted to" is like saying, "I could train hard, eat right, and win an olympic gold medal if I wanted to." Basically, could and would mean jack. Yes there are guys who are classified above their skill level, and yes there are guys who are classified below their skill level. The classification system doesn't exactly measure all the skills you need to put on a solid match performance, but for the most part, the guys carrying the A-GM cards(not me) are the better shooters. I think the classification system was designed to attract new shooters. Instead of the new guys having to shoot against the top dogs in the big pond, they can come to a big match and compete against other people in their own skill level. The classification system works great for beginners IMO. The people that ruin it are the guys that have been sitting in C/B class for 10 years and still show up at majors to compete against guys who have been shooting for 1-2 years. [/QUOTE]
