Short of 10 point steel, it just doesent add up. If it is all 10 point steel, it makes one stage worth the other two combined.

Stage 1 280 pts
Stage 2 300 pts
Stage 3 160 pts

un-hit steel are -20

That does sound right, now that you say it.

It's in the rules:

Missed shots, and No-Shoots are scored as -20 points.

If steel is worth 10, then a miss is always double the value of the target. In comstock scoring anyway.

Makes a miss worth -20. Then, if you run out of time another -10 as added in for every target you dont shoot at, a FTE.

I dont like it, but hey its the rules. Back when I was the match director...

The only issue I see with the scoring is that we end up with a large number of people zeroing stages, which fails to differentiate between different levels of performance in those cases.

Im with you 100%. Maybe you could mention this to Rhodes. I dont think he cares to listen to my input anymore.

Kinda like the AK match. Flash targts at 350 yards? He knew it was wrong and too hard, but did it anyway. Took a lot of the fun out of the match and made it last way too long.

I am planning to, but wanted to have an alternative proposal on the table.

The most simple change to comstock/ipsc scoring to fix this is to allow negative hit factors, and hence negative stage points. This is a trivial change for someone scoring with a spreadsheet, but an impossible change for people using the Windows scoring program.

It is possible to add "X" hits to all people on a stage, in order to push most people out of the "zero" range, but we also don't want to throw the stage points out of whack (because IPSC scoring weights stage points as they are added into match points).

IMGA scoring (which CMG uses) does not have this problem because it is impossible to zero using (fastest time / your time).

When is the next one?
