I am new to the ISPC game and was wondering what, if anything are the prizes ? Is it trophy's, or money ?

Got a wall full of plaques, shelves full of trophies, a President's Medal, and lots of great memories. The most one ever gets in Canada is great fun, great friends, and occasional prizes (small ones). Not much sponsorship in Canada. Used to win guns in the old days.

Welcome aboard.
 
we shoot it for fun.

Just look at all the top shooting during/right after a match, they certainly give off the vibe like they just had a fantastic time, don't they ;) ?

Yeah, ok, I"m a smartass...

No money in this in Canada, apparently there is some in the U.S. here we do it for fun, for bragging rights, and an infrequent medal/plaque.

Thanks. Now does anybody from Canada go down south to compete ?
If they do how do you deal with the border and your handgun ?

Lots of Canadians shoot in the States not to mention other countries aswell.

It's been some time since I have done it (about 3 years) but it used to go like this. To get into the states you need paperwork to get your gun(s) to the border. In Ontario we call them border permits which are like your ATT and issued by the CPFO that you use to go to your club but are only good to take your gun to the border, hence the name. You will need a Form 6 from the BATF and a invite to the match from the organizers. It also doesn't hurt to have your gun checked at the border by our Customs guys and get one of those green cards that list certain items you are taking across.
 
Win your class at a USPSA Area match with a STI frame while wearing a STI shirt and you get $350 from STI on top of what the match pays out if it does. The US nationals will get you $650, plus the US Nats has a wicked prize table rivaled only by Area 2.
