The percentage is calculated against the <strong>highest hit factor ever recorded</strong> on a standardized Classifier Stage (CLS). You need <strong>a minimum of four CLS scores</strong> to get an initial class, and after that your classification is recalculated from the <strong>best 4 of your most recent 8</strong> results. To keep your class active, you must shoot at least <strong>one classifier match or two CLS stages each calendar year</strong>, and your class is <strong>division-specific</strong> — being an A-class in Production doesn&rsquo;t make you A-class in Open.</p>
