Hi JJ, I will have to make this a short reply as we have a ton to do before we head to Land Run this week. When SASS made changes to the structure of WB a couple years ago there were only 20-24 clubs world wide having true WB matches. Now there are over 50 (I'm pretty sure it's actually more then 60+ and growing) but lets say 50. A 100% growth rate is a perfect example of WB heading in the right direction. I know SASS, other Board members, myself and other long time match directors talk and have had a large number of emails, texts, phone conversations, and in person conversations with clubs wanting to get rolling with WB, & CASS shooters interested in WB. As for match designs, or matches where people don't shoot clean or the match is extremely tough. All I can say is that we hope Match Directors listen to their customers and adjust to the matches that people want to attend. This is an age old issue in every shooting sport, if it's not fun, people don't come back. SASS provides recommendations but that is the extent of it, each match director can decide for themselves. I see clubs in both CAS and WB that work hard to create an exciting yet cleanable match, that their customers don't leave feeling defeated or like they just fought a death match and they have great numbers and returning customers. The clubs that don't create a fun experience, well they might need to travel and see some of the clubs that are succeeding and why. This isn't rocket science, but yet there is a science to it. Produce a fun match that even a new shooter will leave feeling that they did ok. It don't have to be boring but it shouldn't be hard. My recommendation to all match directors (after 20+ years of writing stages and owning a club) Have one hard element per stage: High round count but easy sweeps and target distances Harder sweep Heavy movement / gun transition Farther target distance or spread But not more then one hard element per stage. Average the times on the stages to be close to the same. Make it to where 20% can (with slight effort) shoot it clean. A great MD will want to bask in the glory of seeing a lot of smiling faces at the end of the match. Customers come back if and only if they enjoyed it. Have a super week everyone, CC

Hi JJ, Things thought out properly take time, to prevent having to redo things not thought out. That being said, there is a ton of conversations taking place almost on a daily basis regarding great ideas for WB. The TG's and WBROC are all talking and there will be several topics at Land Run and again at EOT 2026. WB is growing at an unprecedented rate, well beyond forecast when the rules were altered last year. Keep giving information and ideas to your TGs', post them here or contact SASS by email with ideas and thoughts. Thanks and have a super weekend, CC
