Match Name: TSSA: RLS Series (Run | Lift | Shoot) - Ruskin, FL
Platform: TSSA (Tactical Shooting Sports Association)
Event Type: Competition w/Classifiers
1.0 Operational Overview
The RLS Series is a true competitive event designed to establish your standing in the tactical athlete community.
Unlike the developmental environment of TAT (Tactical Athlete Training) matches, this is a competition where performance counts. The RLS Series features Official TSSA Classifiers—standardized stages that allow you to earn a classification and enter the official ranking system—alongside dynamic field stages to test your total skillset.
Get Ranked: This is your opportunity to put a score on the board. Competitors will execute specific classifier stages to determine their division rank and see exactly how they stack up against the competition.
Measure Your Performance: This event moves beyond the "shakedown" nature of a TAT match. It provides a direct, scored comparison of your fitness and marksmanship against a field of peers.
The Competitive Standard: While the environment remains camaraderie-focused, the coaching stops here. The clock and the scoring are real, and you are competing for placement and classification status.
