2017 IPSC NB Provincial Handgun Championships Good day everyone. As you may recall, IPSC NB had sent out a request for your feedback about our provincials back in January. Thank you to all who sent their thoughts. IPSC NB has not been able to recognize provincial champions in some of our divisions for “officially” several years. As a matter of fact, IPSC NB has never awarded a trophy, cup or plaque in “provincial” some divisions ever. This is due to being able to meet” the stipulated number of participants per division for official “not recognition, as mandated by IPSC match rules (i.e.; Level III requires a minimum of 10 participants per – division; Level II requires a minimum of 5 participants per division). – After considering this, IPSC NB executive voted to make some changes this year with the goal in mind of naming a Provincial Champion in each division”. “officially This goal can be achieved by holding our 2017 Provincial Handgun Championships in a way that is different from previous By making these matches level II events, and separating them, it is hoped that we can meet the required participant levels in each division to officially recognize the competitors. There will be a main Provincial Championship match for production, classic and standard divisions (September 9 &10).
