How would you score this match with practiscore?

[kamikaze1a]

We sometimes add a multi-gun stage to our USPSA pistol match.  We used to score it like a regular pistol stage, timed with a hit factor but never since we started using practiscore.

How would you enter a single multi gun COF that is part of a pistol match when using practiscore?  Add it like any other pistol COF and count the clays/steel/pins as steel and number of paper targets?

Or would the USPSA frown on this practice?

You could:

- make a normal stage with hit factor a-d zone scoring, using steel for clays/pins. 

or

 - you could make a separate match from it that shared the registration, and run it as a time+ match like normal multigun. Then tie ithem together using the provision practiscore has for that.  It basically says okay, what % in this match, what % in this other match, and adds it up. 

or

 - you could treat all targets as steel and make FTNS an NPM miss, and FTE a miss. or FTN a miss, and FTE a miss + procedural

And maybe a zillion other ways to do it.

Would USPSA frown on this? Probably not if using the separate match approach. Then you are basically doing a series or tournament - a USPSA pistol match and a USPSA MG match and merging them together for a tournament result. 

Good luck!

Ken, are you sure the second match doesn't have to be timeplus with points?

Thanks!  So you believe that the USPSA would prefer that the multi gun COF be separated from the pistol only COFs?

The USPSA multi gun rules did list traditional USPSA hit factor scoring or time plus as acceptable scoring systems with comstock, limited time comstock, fixed, virginia and time plus scoring methods.  Combining multi gun with a pistol match not mentioned...

Anyone else doing USPSA pistol match with additional multi gun COF?

Just when I thought this was going to be simpler than I thought...if we score it with practiscore and as just another stage, how do we factor in major minor for pistol/rifle? 

Back to the drawing board...

[NMBOpen]

That's what the "Extra Penalty" entry was for when Multigun uses Hit Factor scoring. One for every non-Alpha hit from a minor gun.

Does everyone shoot the MG stage? It's not actually part of the pistol match.

Makes much more sense to me to create a 2nd match for the MG stage. It's not all the same thing. You could score the MG stage as USPSA MG or by any other rule set.

A 2nd match is starting to look like what we need to do.  We're kind of new to ps so got to figure out how to set up a second match on the same day for the multi gun COF...

[Nathanb]

Set up two matches. Have them register for both. Or do all walk ins day of match and sync out from the master. Either would work. The matches will have different sync codes so it doesn't. Matter what day it is

Thanks for the tips!  I'll probably create a sample match and do a dry run before the next match.  See which scenario works best for us.  Thanks again!
