2026 TCDSL Living Dead Match at TCGC - October 3 2026

THE DEAD HAVE RISEN AGAIN
The outbreak began with scattered reports of violent attacks, abandoned vehicles, and emergency broadcasts warning residents to remain indoors. By nightfall, the hospitals were overwhelmed. By sunrise, the cities had fallen.
Now the infection has reached Tri-County.
The gates are failing, the dead are gathering, and the last evacuation route passes directly through Bays 4–8. Ammunition is limited, reinforcements are not coming, and every shadow may conceal something hungry.
Some of the infected move slowly. Others have changed into something far worse. Survivors will face swarms of the living dead, contaminated laboratories, abandoned streets, and creatures produced by an experiment that should never have escaped containment.
Choose your weapon carefully. Bring a flashlight. Conserve your ammunition. Keep moving.
This is an Outlaw Match using IDPA scoring. There are no rescue teams and no safe places to hide. Only competitors with previous action-shooting experience will be permitted beyond the quarantine line.
Fifty survivors will enter.
Whether all fifty make it out remains to be seen.
The dead are waiting and they are hungry.
TCGC and the Tri-County Defensive Pistol League welcome you to the 2026 Living Dead Match, an OUTLAW match using IDPA scoring.
TCGC HIGH MUZZLE RULE
TCGC’s prohibition against a high muzzle will be strictly enforced throughout the match.
The muzzle of a loaded firearm may not be pointed above the berm.
A firearm is considered loaded when a magazine containing any number of rounds is seated in the firearm. This includes when the magazine is seated while the slide or bolt is locked open.
Violation of the High Muzzle Rule or any unsafe firearm handling will result in a Match Disqualification.
SHOOTER-EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT
This match is not open to inexperienced or first-time competitive shooters.
Competitors must have prior match experience in IDPA, USPSA, Multi-Gun, or another competitive shooting sport involving movement with a firearm.
Participation in a static shooting event or ordinary range practice does not satisfy this requirement. The Match Director reserves the right to verify a competitor’s prior match experience.
