Greetings Competitors,

The 2008 Mississippi Classic is just over a week away and, on behalf of the match staff, it is my pleasure to bring you a few last minute details:

1. Competitor check-in will be held in the meeting room of the match hotel (Cabot Lodge) on Friday, May 16th from 8:30pm until 10:00pm. If you can not attend, please make arrangements for someone to pick up your match packet for you.

2. There will be a limited check-in at the range on Saturday morning from 6:30am until 7:00am for those unable to attend Friday night. Walk-in competitors wishing to register for the match may do so Friday night or at the range prior to the match if spots remain available. Standard late entry fees apply. No competitor registrations will be accepted after 7:00am.

3. All competitors should plan to be at the range no later than 7:00am on both Saturday, May 17th and Sunday, May 18th.

4. The 2008 Mississippi Classic consists of ten challenging stages, including one classifier stage, with a minimum round count of 238. Stage diagrams for the 2008 Mississippi Classic have been posted to the match website (http://www.teammagnolia.com/classic/).

5. RO's, Vendors, and approved shoot throughs will shoot on Friday the 16th beginning at 8:00am. The range will be open to spectators and you are free to examine the stages while they are not in use, but we ask that you please observe the roped off areas and that you do not interfere with the squads shooting each stage.

6. Don't forget to put in your pre-orders with our vendors (http://www.teammagnolia.com/classic/2008/vendorscorner.php) prior to the match to make sure you get the supplies you need. Tom Duchmann of Action Shooting Supplies says he needs your orders by Wednesday to ensure delivery at the match.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the match and I look forward to seeing you all on the 16th at the Cabot Lodge.

Respectfully,

John L Heiter
Match Director
2008 Mississippi Classic
