Grizzly Dave Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 OK, if we're gonna do this to some extent... My biggest problem with rank scoring is that ALL the shooters in a match determine the placement of people within a category. If you must use rank scoring, use match rank scoring for overall match placement, and use category rank points for category placement. I have run the data, it DOES make a difference. The oft repeated statement that you 'compete with your peers within your chosen category' is not true in a rank points match. My other gripe is that is supposedly rewards 'consistency'. How is a shooter who averages 25 seconds a stage BUT gets an SDQ more consistent than a shooter who averages 31 seconds a stage with NO penalties? Yet rank points will push the guy with the SDQ above the other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Jen Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 On scoring, I resigned myself years ago to the fact that I will never get an award, so I don't concern myself with scoring in general—except to say that I'd like to do something better than triple the times of the better shooters. Still, I agree, Griz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
