- Create a free PractiScore profile, then sign in. Online match registration requires a free account. You do not need to buy a mobile app to use the website.
- Open the Diablo Action Pistol club page. Or choose Clubs and search DAP. Look at Upcoming Matches for matches and Events for orientation. The main description directs IDPA shooters to a separate DAP IDPA club listing; ask Match Support for the correct current entry if needed.
- Choose the correct dated entry. Read its full description, eligibility, check-in, gear, fees and payment instructions before registering. An “open” club badge is not a seat guarantee; the actual event page controls availability.
- Complete the event’s sign-up when eligible. Follow the instructions PractiScore displays. Use a waitlist only if that event actually offers one; do not assume every event has a waitlist or that a request is a confirmed place.
SCSA · SPEED SHOOTING
Steel Challenge
“Drag racing with firearms”: four standard plates, a stop plate, repeated strings and your best times.
YOUR ENTRY PATH
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO.
Who it’s for
Contact Match Support about DAP qualification and the right entry path. A member number alone is not qualification.
Equipment & requirements
Minimum centerfire caliber: 9mm semi-auto / .38 Special revolver. Steel Challenge has .22 rimfire divisions, but you must first qualify with centerfire from the holster. Other event-specific division / start requirements CONFIRM.
DAP qualification: orientation plus an approved match within 90 days without a safety DQ, or a current USPSA / SCSA / IDPA / ICORE classification above U. One year or more of inactivity requires paying for and retaking class. Bring a current USI orange card or a photo.
The instructors’ Steel Challenge overview
“Drag racing with firearms”: four plates plus a stop plate, shot last. Five strings; drop the slowest. There are eight standardized stages shot worldwide. The instructors’ overview describes 13 firearm divisions and classes U, D, C, B, A, M (Master) and GM (Grand Master). Consult the current event and official SCSA rules for division details. Outer Limits counts the best three of four strings under the official rules.
Orientation graduates: complete one of the next three second-Sunday Steel Challenge matches without a safety DQ within 90 days. If the first is full, enter one of the next two; practice in between is encouraged.

SIGN-UPS / PRACTISCORE
HOW TO REGISTER
ON PRACTISCORE.
Free account ≠ approved DAP club membership.
Paid DR&GC members can request to join DAP on PractiScore. While signed in, use the club’s membership / join control. Send your DR&GC payment receipt or membership-card photo to matchsupport@diabloactionpistol.com.
Approval is manual and may take a day or two. Approved membership provides early USPSA / IDPA signup before the public and club discounts. It does not replace DAP qualification.
The public, signed-out club page does not expose a direct join URL; it says to log in to follow or apply for membership.
MEMBERSHIP / PROOF DETAILS ↗Source: PS1 · public DAP PractiScore capture, Nov 11, 2026 (Pacific). Snapshot only—as listed on PractiScore; check there for current status. Instructor-specific policies remain sourced to A1.
AFTER THE MATCH / PRACTISCORE
WHERE TO FIND
MATCH RESULTS.
- Open the DAP club page and scroll to Match Results.
- Choose the correct match name and date. Open its posted result and look up your name in the shooter list / available search. Check your division, overall result and stage breakdown; use the filters the page provides.
- If you cannot find the match, use PractiScore’s general results search with DAP or the full match name and date. Posting is not necessarily immediate. Send score questions to Match Support.
Match scores are not your official classification record.
Use each organization’s official classification / member record for USPSA, SCSA, IDPA or ICORE. Eligible scores, processing and update timing depend on that organization; a published match result is not an automatic classification update.
Start at the official organization and follow its classification / member links. USPSA also publishes classification-system resources.
PractiScore 2: DAP’s club page links the current mobile app for Android and iOS. Use the web links above for sign-ups and posted results; no app is required to follow those browser pathways.
