If a person wins the indoor world in thebow hunter class, do they have to move up to a higher class level the next year?

I don't think so.
I think you have to win 2 events?

Here is what it says in the rule book.
If a shooter wins while competing in the Hunter Class at any two (2) events in the Shooter of the Year Program or wins a National Championship or World Championship title that shooter must advance to a more competitive level the following IBO shoot calendar year. Once this shooter advances to the higher competitive level, he/she must remain at that level for an entire IBO shoot calendar year.

So if the top 20 shooters in the HC class would never win two, they can still stay in the HC class?
Could this stop a few shooters from comming back; knowing they dont have a chance against shooters that are always in the top 20.
MBR could be a hunters class if the top 20 shooters would be forced to move up to MBR.
The HC is not a novice class?
In the ASA they have a class fordifferent skill level; Novice , Hunter, Unlimited Pins. Open C, B and A for scope shooters.
I am not bashing the IBO! I love the IBO and glad they are here to stay!!

If it states that a person who wins a world championship has to move up, then why is it not being inforced? HC Indoor World Championship 2005 winner
