I appreciate the enthusiasm.
The shotgun sidematches after the regular IDPA matches are birdshot only. We ususally just have one stage set up with a round count of 12-15 and we load up to 6 or 7 in the guns depending on what most have available as gun capicity. We often run the stage 2 or 3 times and count the best score. Divisions of Competition are Manual, Auto and Open. Open Division permits optics, compensators and magazine fed weapons with no limit on starting capacity.
For the Carbine Matches bring the M1, KelTec or both. The competition is divided into divisions as follows: Iron Sights, Optics, Battle Rifle (M1 here)(anything .30 Cal or over), Limited (10 round capacity or less), Junior (shooters under 18 years old who may use .22) and Class III. Class III is not available at this range per range rules. You could shoot the M1 in Battle Rifle and the Keltec according to its sight system.
Minimum round counts are usually around 100 for both the IDPA matches and the Carbine matches. More is permitted and often needed so bring 150 to be sure. There are usually 5 stages.

Does this make 5? Hope to see you. Have you shot IDPA before?
