There is a strategy to climbing the classes faster, and it starts with a simple truth: a classifier only helps you if it beats the score it would replace in your best-6-of-8 window.
Know your replacement number
If your sixth-best counting score is a 72%, then any classifier you shoot below 72% does nothing for your average — it just uses up one of your eight slots. Your real target on the next classifier is "beat my current weakest counting score," and ideally clear your goal-class line.
Play to your division and your strengths
Classifiers test different skills — some are speed-and-transitions, some are precision, some are positional. If your percentages are consistently higher on one type, prioritize matches that run those. You are not cheating; you are managing a sample.
Mind the 8-score window
Because your oldest scores roll off, you can improve simply by replacing stale low runs. If you have an ancient 58% still counting, almost any solid classifier improves your average just by pushing it out of the window.
Do not chase trial classifiers for class
The 26-series trial classifiers have no HHF and do not count yet, so shoot them for practice, not for points.
