Hoss Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 for maybe the top 1/2 of 1% of shooters, there might be a slight difference in how they approach a RP vs TT match. for the rest of us mere mortals, not so much. Smooth is fast. my observation is more time is lost loading shotgun than any other action we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attica Jack #23953 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I go and shoot and have a good time! Never even cared if it was Rank Points or Total Time, just shot the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Jack Daniels,58780 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I always approached both types of matches the same, try to be smooth and clean. Usually the shooters who pull out all the stops for a total time match get to outshooting their ability and end up with misses and procedurals. I agree with Hoss, for us mortals it really does not make much difference, it is only the top shooters who this will affect. I have always been a supporter of total time scoring, because it assesses penalties uniformly for all shooters. However shooting a rank point match never bothered me. I just shot my match, and let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I could answer your question, but it would be plagerism. Therefore I will refer you to Sawyer's Shooting School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Here are some questions for you to consider. Total Time scoring: Shooter gets a SDQ, shooter is scored by number of targets X 5 + 30= 150 sec for a 10-10-4 stage (the maximum score for that stage) Right? Shooter gets a MDQ. Say all stages are a 10-10-4. Then, the shooter would be given a 150 sec on every stage. Right? A shooter's time on one stage is 200 sec, what is the score that is written down, 150 sec (maximum score), or 200 sec? Snakebite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It would be interesting to see the number of misses included in the EOT scores. I suspect that very few if any of the top 20 shooters had misses. Evil Roy demonstrates in his DVDs that 5 seconds is an eternity. Trying to shoot clean is not a bad strategy.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 As a graduate of Sawyers Shooting School, I can say I know the answer. Shoot fast and don't miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a match/club uses the Rank Score 999 seconds penalty for a SDQ in a TOTAL TIME match, you won't see me in attendance!

Texas Jack Daniels Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 To answer J-Bar's question 14 of the top 20 were clean. 5 had 1 miss. 1 had 2 misses. I echo PWB you can't use 999 as the time for a SDQ unless you want zero attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks TJD, that is about what I expected. You just can't win with a lot of misses in a field of strong competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakebite I think the MDQ should still be 999.99 and let the SDQ be either the slowest on the stage + (time) or number of shots x 5 + (time) where time is set by the Match Director. Folks with a MDQ should be on the bottom. Any other method provides the chance someone will finish below the guy with the MDQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one miss took me from 5th Overall to 10th Overall. A shooter in that level just can't have a miss, dosnt matter if its RP or TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Jack Daniels Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi Cheyenne Ranger, Example of a 10 stage match. You are shooting about 30 seconds a stage. 10 stages is 300 seconds. The worst shooter at the match is shooting 50 seconds a stage. 10 stages is 500 seconds You get 1 SDQ you now have 999 + (9x30) = 1,269 seconds. You cannot recover from the SDQ. A SDQ now look like a MDQ every time. Would cause people to quit with 1 SDQ or not show up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Why?? Why is there even discussion about the "SCORE" for a MDQ?? If your MDQ'd you GO HOME?? It has been said "You can't miss fast enough to win." TT means your score is based on your individual performance. Win, Lose or Draw ...... It's on you.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The discussion concerns how the scoring software deals with SDQ and MDQ. Assigning a value of 999.99 for a MDQ makes sense, but assigning a value of 999.90 for an SDQ as was done under the old system, does not as that exceeds the "typical" maximum penalty for the stage which is based on 5 sec x Number of shots plus a penalty (typically 30 seconds) and for a typical 10, 10, 4 is 24 x 5 + 30 = 150 sec. There is a greater amount of discussion on this in another the pinned thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
