Statement Regarding Rumor of SCSA /SSC sale

April 2, 2012

Dear Clubs, Sponsors, Partners, and other Friends,

It has recently come to the attention of the USPSA/SCSA board of directors that rumors have been circulating that USPSA is considering offering the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championship (SCWSSC), the Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA), and/or the Scholastic Steel Challenge (SSC) program for sale. The purpose of this letter is to answer those rumors with an emphatic "no." None of those entities are for sale nor is a sale anticipated in the future.
The board of directors met telephonically on the evening of April 1, 2012, and made that decision formally by a unanimous vote. They also renewed USPSA's commitment to making SCSA and SSC the successful programs that we all want them to be.
All of the programs listed above operate under the auspices SCSA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of USPSA.
It is true that there have been changes made in the marketing of SCSA. Those changes were done for budgetary reasons and, unfortunately, involved severing our relationship with several people. The USPSA Directors are in the process of redefining the direction and means of our marketing and will announce changes very soon.
If you have any questions concerning this issue, please address them to USPSA President Phil Strader (president@uspsa.org).
Respectfully,

Dave Thomas
USPSA Executive Director
