AWL – Accelerated Waiting List

For those on the waiting list to become a new MRPC member there is a way to advance your position and it’s called the AWL – Accelerated Waiting List. You can move your position in increments of 30 days several ways.  Do some work for the club on a workday or at a match that needs setup / tear-down help or shoot a match. Once you have earned 24 credits you move to the TOP of the list!

• Workdays – Come out the first Saturday of the month by 8:00am and help till noon.
• Work at a match that needs help.
• Shoot a match – If the match needs help AND you shoot it you get TWO credits for doing both. If the match allows you to shoot more than one gun you only get ONE credit for the shooting part even if you shoot more than one gun.
• If you have questions regarding what you can do to earn credits, contact
  membership@miamirifle-pistol.org.

To claim your credit(s):

Take a picture of one or more of the following:

The sign-in sheet for the workday with your name on it.

For work at a match use a piece of paper or the back of a scorecard and have the match director sign that you worked;

For match participation your scorecard

Then send one picture at a time to – membership@miamirifle-pistol.org

Note: Very important:

• Only send one item per email.  In other words do not attach more than one match score card per email or more than one work sign-in sheet or any combination on the same email.  Your advancement is counted by the email with a single item attached.
• Be sure to include your First Last name and your MRPC Member Number in your email to get credit.  Your Member Number is shown in your MMS profile.

Each email received advances your waiting list position by 30 increments (approximately 30 days), and once you reach 24 AWL credits, you are moved to the top of the waiting list.

You can also see the number of credits you have toward your AWL position in your MMS profile.
