5. The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA)
   IDPA is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 11,000 including members in 19 foreign countries. One of the unique facets of this sports is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitve. The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship. "Competition only" equipment is not permitted in this sport.

             The firearms are grouped into five (5) divisions:
             1. Custom Defensive Pistol (.45ACP semi-automatics only)

             2. Enchanced Service Pistol (9mm (9x19) or larger caliber semi-automatics)

             3. Stock Services Pistol (9mm (9x19) or larger caliber double action, double action only,

                 or safe action semi-automatics)

             4. Enhanced Service Revolver (.38 caliber or larger double action revolvers)

             5. Stock Service Revolver (.38 caliber or larger double action revolvers)

 

             See Appendix One - Equipment for delineations in the revolver divisions. Shooters are then

             classed by like-skill levels with progession from Novice (NV); to Marksman (MM); to

             Sharpshooter (SS); to Expert (EX); and finally to Master (MA).

     6.    Police Action Pistol (PAP)

 

            SOSC 2011 will organize the inaugural Police Sports Association (PSA) Police Action Pistol (PAP) for
            its participants. The organizer intends to organize this shooting competition that will not turn into 
            an equipment race. Police Action Pistol (PAP) a shooting event requires the use of practical
            handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for police duty (Uniform Duty Gear or Concealment
            Carry). No ˇ°competitionˇ± equipment is permitted in PAP matches since the main goal is to test the
            skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship.

 

            There are two main duty classes for PAP, mainly Revolver and semi-auto class. Participants whom
            are shooting Revolver will use their duty issued 3 inch barrel revolvers Double Action (.38 caliber
            or larger double action revolvers with no more than 4 inch barrel length) and those whom are in
            semi-automatic category can either participate in Single Action or in Double Action pistols 
            event (which includes safe action semi-auto pistols; i.e. Glock)

 

            Competitors may shoot only one class of gun; either Revolver or Semi-automatic, for both 
            Individual and Team events (for example, if a competitor starts out shooting a revolver,
            he/she must use a revolver in both the Individual and Team events).

 

            The competition is run in 2 main events, Individual and Team. Each Police units, clubs,
            Auxiliary Polices, Defense Armed Forces and Shooting Clubs can send as many participants
            in individual or in team events. To make up in a team you must have 4 participants. For the
            team event scoring only the top three shooters from a team will be used to tabulate the overall
            team score.

 

            For the individual event, there will be four categories such as Master (M), Expert (Ex),
           Sharpshooter (SS) and Marksman (MM) to cater and honour shooters with various shooting 
           skill and standard. Each category will have 3 medal winners (i.e. Gold, Silver & Bronze). 
           There will only be an Overall Team event in which, the top three teams will win medals.
