Thanks for checking Matt!
Now I can tell my boss to hire a substitute (I teach K-12 Music) for the week!
Looking forward to it.

Championship of the Americas Team
Can anyone give me some information on what the Championship of the Americas team is. How many members? How are they selected? Where do they compete? I just read in USA Shooting that all members of this team would be juniors.

actual compettion days
What are the actual competition days (i.e the 3x days: Thu, Fri, Sat?)? Is Sun the "Top Gun" day? and is Mon the 24th actually included as a comp day (as originally posted)? Thanks very much for the info.

I just read that as well in USA Shooting News that the Championship of the Americas team would be comprised entirely of juniors this time. That is a departure from how they did it last time and from what they published earlier this year as the official selection process. But, I think it's consistent with USAS post-Olympics initiative to engage and develop more junior pistol shooters. But it kind of pulls the rug out from under any aspiring adult shooters who hoped to compete for a spot on the CAT team.
rk:
In 2004, the actual competition days were Fri, Sat, Sun, with Thursday being a training day. The Top Gun match was on Sunday afternoon following finals of the 3rd day of official competition. Monday was just scheduled as the "Departure" day since folks staying for the "Top Gun" match would likely finish after most flights had left for the day. But, if you didn't want to stay for "Top Gun", there's no reason you couldn't leave Sunday afternoon, flight schedules permitting. Not sure if the 3x Air schedule will be the same for 2005 though, but I'd expect so by the dates they've posted.

To mcole95:
2. CAT Team participants will be selected as follows:
a. Junior category, National Development Team members that are 21 years old or younger, and "National Team members that are in their first year on the NT" and have not been on the NT at any previous time are eligible.
I take this to mean that if you shoot your way onto the team for the first time next June you'll get to go. I could never see sending shooters who had been to Worlds or Olympics to something like the CAT anyway.
Good luck to all.
