IPSC PRESIDENT NEWSLETTER, JUNE 2020
Dear Regional Directors,
Dear Athletes,
Dear Range Officers,
Dear Instructors and Trainers!
I hope you and your family are staying safe!
I would like to share some news from the recent Executive Council meeting:
1) Pan American Handgun Championship 2021
As Paraguay has withdrawn its candidacy from conducting Pan American in 2021, the bid was open for other Regions from the Zone. Three Regions have expressed their interest in bidding for hosting the match: Brazil, Canada and the USA. The online voting will take place at the beginning of July. (Only the Regions from Pan American Zone are eligible to vote).
2) Bidding for conducting IPSC Level IV-V match. General requirements.
The application for bidding for hosting IPSC Level IV-V will be updated so that all the information will be provided in a written form.
