Can you change classes during the year? I have a friend that is new to the IBO. He isn't sure if he wants to shoot the Master Class or the Hunter Class. Is it possible to shoot and qualify for the Worlds in the Master Class, and also shoot and qualify for Worlds in the Hunter Class and then make a decision which one (I realise it can only be one at the Worlds) he will shoot at the Worlds? I didn't see any info in the rules.
Betty, where's my info for Florida?

I believe it is ok, I did it two years ago, qualified in both MBO and MBR in different qualifiers, you can only register in one class though.

If your shooting in the amateur classes you can qualify in different classes at different qualifiers and then decide which class qualification to send in for the "World". If you shoot your first qualifier in SemiPro you can not drop back to amateur, but can try to qualify in Pro if you want. If you shoot your first qualifier as a Pro you must stay there until the end of the IBO Shooting year.

So if someone shoots MBO most the year and qualifies, are they allowed to shoot a qualifier in the semi-pro class, and still be allowed to move down for the world?

3d-shooter - once you shoot semi-pro or pro you stay there for the remainder of the year - you can not drop back to MBO.
