I'm wanting to say 5 stages with 10 or so per stage, but I haven't shot there a whole lot. The round count can get higher the more you miss. I'm not on facebook & missed the announcement about the creek stage last year, but I think he usually posts more info on each match a few days prior on facebook. To me, and I enjoyed the creek challenge, things like that and the positional stuff makes for a great match. Some hate it though. I run a local 2 & 3 gun match and have done past stages where you go down low prone and shoot under a simulated car. I cannot tell you how many people bitched about it. Hell the head firearms instructor from a local agency left one match early because of that stage saying it was unrealistic. Really? If it were unrealistic why would Kyle Lamb teach a whole class on it. Watch the hollywood bank robbery/shoot out. The last guy to go down was shot in the leg from under a vehicle by SWAT.
Joe's match is good that way in he tests your ability to build a solid firing position in a crappy situation.
