[QUOTE="Pstmstr, post: 1708057, member: 51164"] I think open discussion would take place ftf with the match organizer and while your suggestions may have some merit, it would probably have more consideration if it wasn't after your first match. To tear down and reset each stage an extra time is a waste of time. Nor can you run a shooter, score, tape, and reset the stage in 3 minutes. I've been ROing for 3 years and can run a squad as fast as anyone, 5 min per shooter is getting it done quickly. That would be 50 min per stage, PLUS set up or about an hour per stage. Meanwhile, you have to mess with pre registration, who wants to shoot at 6, 8 etc. Who says they are coming, then not show up. The logistics of running a match are a bit more complicated than it may seem at first glance. Cleaning up the place after closing, running 5 stages in just over 4 hours on a 2 bay range with 50 shooters ain't bad in the shooting world. All of us would like more shooting and less waiting but we put up with it because we like to shoot. It's a little easier at Arcadia and places where you can have the stages preset. Even there some matches are close to 100 shooters. Patience is a virtue or so I'm told. Most Heartland matches are less than 40 shooters. We've been finished as early as 8:30.
