So far, I have competed in Production, Limited and Limited 10. I think I will concentrate my time in Production and Limited 10. The only difference in the divisions is the Major scoring in Lim 10. Both are restricted to 10 rounds loaded per mag, so the strategy is identical for each. I will decide which division to register in based on if I have already shot the classifier (and it is currently counting in my classification %) in another match in that division...
This will leave Limited open if I have already shot the classifier in Limited 10 and Production, or if there are multiple, very long courses in the match where the extra capacity in the mags will make a big difference, or if there is a (much larger) prize table involved.

Update time!
December:
Very good month. I shot the Fort Benning 3 Gun match the first weekend of the month. Excellent match! I had a lot of fun, and had an excellent group of people on my squad. I shot well... Had a little trouble on the long range rifle stage, very hard to see far targets with iron sights, and there was a lot of wind (first time with targets past 200 yards). Did fairly well with the pistol and shotgun. I finished 11th in Tactical Irons. I was very happy with the result. I won an Adams's Arms piston conversion kit. I have since bought a new upper (Bravo Company Mid Length), and installed the kit. Absolutely love it...
The only other match in December was a Tuesday night match at Autrey's. Finished 6th in Production, but blew the classifier.
January:
Started off the month with a match at South River Gun Club. I shot in Limited because I had already shot the classifier. But, I blew it (at this point, anything below a 40% is blowing it). Shooting Limited minor didn't help the match overall... I had a stage that i had several misses, which left me with a "0" on the stage... It was a speed stage that I rushed and ... need to remember "slow is smooth ans smooth is fast".
The second weekend I went to a special classifier match at East Alabama Gun Club. I shot Production and Limited 10 (I finally got a .40 so I can make major). I did ok, but my expectations for myself are going up, so I keep looking to improve. I had several good classifiers, and a couple of bad ones... Production average for match: 47.2668 Limited 10 average for match: 42.7911 (this pistol was a police trade in with OLD night sights... I hope to get new sights soon) This score was good enought to get my initial classification in Limited 10 as a "C". For Production, my % will go up, but still solidly in low "C" range.
This weekend was my youngest's birthday.... so, no matches. However, I did get to the range today for some practice. It was a 60+ degree day, perfect to be outside. Practices draw/ time to 1st shot with multiple pistols. I also zeroed my shotgun for slugs out to 50 yards, practiced reloads, killed some clays... overall a great day.
