In 2018, SASS will be re-allocating the SASS Sanctioned Regional structure as a result of numerous factors happening in the world of Cowboy Action Shooting and SASS today.
A Regional reallocation directly impacts all SASS members and the clubs. As such, rather than SASS arbitrarily deciding what the 2018 (and beyond) structure will be, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
There are 2 options to consider for the structure for 2018.
Please review BOTH options in detail. You will find that each allocation has its individual merits. You will find a map image of each option directly below.
OPTION A - Image (CLICK HERE for a Downloadable/Print COPY)
OPTION B - Image (CLICK HERE for a Downloadable/Print COPY)
The Miakka Misfits needs to submit it's vote by November 1st so please send me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your preference between Option A and Option B. Option A has 7 regions and Option B has 6 regions. Presently there are 8 regions. The only difference to our region is that in Option B, Kentucky is in our region and in Option A, Kentucky is not in our region. Some of the other regions have larger differences.

Good morning!
I've received numerous requests for additional information regarding the reallocation of the Regional structure for 2018- and I see you all have questions too!
While we made every attempt to address concerns surrounding Regional allocation in 2014, there were additional factors that have arisen in the last year that were unavoidable and needed to be addressed. So, rather than making just a few changes here and there, we decided to do a complete examination of all existing regions and Regional Championships- working toward a reallocation in which the members voices could be heard in the process- prior to a decision being made.
- Why the need for the reallocation? What are the “factors” you refer to?
- The dissolution of the Central Region & Central Divisional Championship (Sparta/US Open)
- Missouri members requesting to be included in the Southwest Region
- Mississippi members requesting to be included in the Southeast Region
- An overall declining member numbers
- Declining numbers in attendance at some Regional matches (a dilution of the program)
- The Northeast Regional was abruptly cancelled by its hosts in 2016
- 2016 will mark the final year of the Southeast Regional at Givhan’s Ferry (per the hosts)
- Petitions to reinstate the High Plains Region
- Improved Regional Sponsorship success with fewer, better attended events
- Where will the Regional Championships be held once the reallocation is determined?
Regional Championships have been awarded to clubs that have a track record of proven successful events. Historically, an existing organized match becomes a Regional- when the club and facilities have the resources, manpower, and support to host an event of this caliber.
In the proposed reallocation, there is the possibility of the elimination of either 1 or 2 Regions; meaning the elimination of those Regional Championships. The club’s hosting those matches will likely continue to host amazing events- the event simply won’t be the Regional Championship.
Once the Regions are determined, we will be “open” to proposals from any club/host range in each Region who is interested in hosting the Regional Championship for their Region. Existing Regional championships that have a proven successful track record will be given priority.
All TG’s will receive additional information regarding how to prepare a proposal for a Regional Championship to distribute to the clubs in their Region that have an interest in applying for a Regional Championship.
I hope this helps.

Due to the rainfall from the tropical storm we will have the next few days, this Sunday's match is being cancelled. Even if it does not rain as predicted on Sunday, the range is expected to be too wet and muddy.
We look forward to seeing everyone next month!
