Should you be able to move down when changing divions?

In the IDPA rule book, it says you can shoot two different divisions with the same gun, i.e., G17 & G19, in either SSP or ESP. Looking at the classifier times it would be possible to be ranked expert in SSP and sharpshooter in ESP (shooting a classifer time above 108 and below 120).

Is this really fair? It may be legal, but is it right?

PS: I need to look at my typing a little closer, divisions not divions.

If the shooter is Classified in SSP but not ESP then he or she must shoot in their highest Classification.

"A competitor may compete in club matches in a division he/she does not have
a classification in, provided they compete in the highest classification
they presently hold."

I think it is fair because of the differing nature of the divisons equipment. Although you can shoot a Glock in ESP, it's probably not quite the same as using a .38 Super 1911 with 9mm Largo loads.

I'm a Master in SSP, but 98.35 only makes Expert in ESP. When I shot the Classifier with my 19L in ESP I only made Expert.

What you need in your 19L is a JoeD trigger system. You'll be shootin' grand Masta score in no time.

Hey John, Its kinda like Doug Koenig shooting sharpshooter at the IDPA Winter Nationals. How can a International Masta Blasta shoot as a sharpshooter? Isn't he a Grand Master in other areas?
