Given Up!

I have given up on the 7 X titled event.  In order to do that, you need to use the best 5 shot option which folks will not even try. If they tried it they would love it, but I guess they don't want to use the best, so I have given up.

I have move on to advocating for the 6 X event. It would be really easy to do.

First day is the main event.  Matches are three winning shots, elimination factor of two, shooting down to three shooters. These are the three top spots in the Magnificent Seven.

Second day is Resurrection. Same shooters, matches are three winning shots, elimination factor of two, shooting down to three shooters, taking top three not already in the Mag 7. These are the next three spots in the Mag 7.

Third day is Championship Day.  All shooters are still in competition. Break all shooters down into four brackets.  Matches are two winning shots, last man standing, elimination factor of two. (Same as FGA a few years ago.)

High Noon, bracket winners shoot off, top man and lady shooter not already in Mag 7 from each bracket carrying their x count forward for a shoot off for the final Mag 7 spot. 

Recognized places would be Magnificent 7 and the top three spots of the brackets.

Advantages of the 6 X event:

All shooters get 6 x.  All shooters are still in contention for title championship on the morning of Championship Day.

No need for side matches that just waste range time.

Drawing of rounds is much simplified since the same match is drawn on day one and day two.  Should be little or no down time for drawing rounds

Few if any shoot-offs for place. 

It is easy. It will run smoothly.  There will be little down time. 

I am pitching it to the Association of Arizona Gunslingers, Inc.  Failing there I guess I will look for new blood, maybe Iowa.  Want to come to the casinos in January and shoot in a 6 X State Championship.  It would be great for a new club, maybe fewer cats there.
