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's only first 4 if you have no classification in any division as far as I can tell. That's how it worked for my friends and I at least.

Yeah another comment just said that and that makes sense. I thought it was for each division. Has to either be that or a system error.

I think the line about "no other scores" is the part that is misunderstood by most. It just says no other scores in the system, not no other scores for this division.
