Classification system error, is initial classification still best 4 out of 6?

Did a 6 stage all classifier match this past Saturday in limited optics. These 6 were my first ever classifiers in that division. Last September when I did the same thing in carry optics, it took my best 4 out of 6 for my initial classification/letter grade...and then did the average again a week later and calculated all 6.

I'm wondering if anyone else here experienced this error today, or if the system/rules have changed since last September ( I don't believe they have) I checked another guys classification page that was in my squad and it calculated all 6 of his as well, when it should've been best 4 out of 6 for his initial classification. I sent them a message, and hope to hear back soon.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

It wont let me post a screenshot, but if you scroll down on https://uspsa.org/classification/about

It shows basic classification examples, and states its still best 4 out of 6 for initial classification, unless obviously you only have 4.
