Howdy,
Below is a quick summary of the comments that were made in this thread. When someone doesn't get their way it must be a conspiracy. One guy that wasn't even trying to get into the Nats was stirring the pot for some reason.

Not one person responding was willing to give HQ the benefit of the doubt. Not one person called HQ to find out. Odd.

--Do all shooters in match have required minimum points?
--Big mystery - who knows?!?!?
--I did not get in to the nationals and I have 9 points. I have friends who got in with 3, 7 and 8 points.
--How can someone get in with 3 or 4 points and someone with 9 not
--Personally I would like to understand how anyone with 3 points made it, when I have 4 points.
--The secrecy of information not being released leads me to believe points are not determining factor for entry
--but I am not polite in real life, why do I need to be polite here
--If the announced system didn't work as intended... or didn't work at all... maybe it should be fixed and clarified.
--I like the idea of actually using whatever system the choose.
--I suspect there is no way you are correct on this.....
