Ok, have taken both apart again and you are correct, the thumb safety allows the sear to move just enough to cause this on both guns. So need to get new thumb safety fitted...

I had trigger looked over by gunsmith on my STI Edge and STI GM and he installed Extreme Engineering sear, sear spring and disconnector. When I got them back the trigger pull is clear, crisp and light but... First, seems like he just dropped things in... I have the following issues; (1) On both Edge and GM - when cocked and safety on, if grip safety is engagedand trigger pressed the hammer moves a little bit and stays there, then when safety is flipped off, the hammer falls halfway forward. (2) On GM - if cocked and safety on - if grip safety engaged and trigger is pressed hard hammer will fall. So in both cases -- the safety function is not working as it should (obviously I have put back old parts as this is not the way things should be). Any ideas, is this something in need of proper fitting or ... in discussion with gunsmith about this and how to fix it (or should he also be replaced ;-) / Jens

Sorry for being unclear - this is exactly the case. If you set 'max category' to 1, the competitor can register in 0 or 1 category but not more than this and so on... So SSI does exactly what you are looking for. / Jens

We have just deployed an upgrade to Shoot'n Score It (http://shootnscoreit.com) that adds support for the new IDPA 2013 rules. This allows you as match organizer to arrange matches using these new rules or under the current and still valid rules. Overall we have updated wording, some categories and also the separation of rule 4.3 and 4.4 when entering scores. We have also added support so you as match organizer can define if competitors are allowed to register in 1..n categories *and* how many competitors there needs to be in a category before results are generated for this category (default set to 5, but you can change). Last we also added support for directly creating a 'Classifier Match' with all 3 stage created for you. Have fun ! / Jens

If you are looking for a free tool the helps you with the complete match management - signup, stage descriptions, scoresheets, reports, scoring, results, ... try Shoot'n Score It or SSI - http://shootnscoreit.com Also great if you in your club shoot USPSA, IDPA and Steel as it supports all this (and CAS/SASS, PPC and IPSC). SSI also can export and works with WinMSS, EzWinScore, CED 7000 Pro timer and there are some tools online for exporting info to Practiscore also. There is also a scoring client sw (to be used in iPhone/ipad/Tablets/Android) that you use from https://m.shootnscoreit.com / Jens

Ok, will talk on the UI ideas separately over email. As reference SSI is a Django/Python/Postgress/twitter-bootstrap site with lots of pypi stuff as needed ;-) / Jens

Ok, understood. Whenever you edit a competitor within SSI this is checked so it is not possible to edit a competitor to have Production and Major. (when you edit and attempt to save you will get a warning and info on that you need to correct this). So the competitor info in SSI will always have a valid division and pf, hence whatever is exported from SSI to EWS files will also have a valid division and PF. In light of this I do not think the statement on SSI not forcing minor for Production is correct, but will chase down the problem if if can be shown (just re-tested all this); >... (SSI doesn't minor-ize the power factor switching > from Limited major to Production division)... / Jens

Hi, on topic; > 5. Production power factor is forced to minor (SSI doesn't > minor-ize the power factor switching from Limited > major to Production division) Within SSI you can not register for Production with Major, only Minor. For Limited you can register for Major or Minor. The competitors.tsv file then has major or minor as applicable. Do let us know if this is not correct! / Jens

Ok, have commented on fixes to the online tool that jcwren has done in separate thread. Hope this corrects some of the issues experienced. / Jens

Hi, we just deployed corrections to some/all of the above: * Upper case / lower case - we keep it just as it is within SSI, e.g. if someone has a name of 'joe smith' then that is what is export (would not recommend to change this) * html escaping is turned off - so no more like "Quick & Fast", this will be exported as "Quick & Fast" * corrected the classifier row 3, had no idea what row 3 was but now it should be correct so the Stages_Extra_P.txt should be ok now Could you explain about the "...Production power factor is forced to minor (SSI doesn't minor-ize the power factor switching from Limited major to Production division)..." - what would you like us to do here? Great if you could test the corrections that we have made ! / Jens

Let us know what you are having problems finding and we will make it easier !!! Drop me PM or email directly. Usually have a turnaround time on getting things fixed in 1-2 days. / Jens

Shoot'n Score It now support uploading of images + banners + full stage details for stages. Stages within IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, CAS/SASS and Steel matches can now upload images, a banner image (that is clickable) and also full description of stage (start-on, start-pos, etc.) http://shootnscoreit.com Once you have done this you can with one click generate pdf reports for all stages with all this info. We have added this optional feature upon request from many shooters and hope you have fun with it ! ---- A use case: (1) You create and edit your stage descriptions within the match (and use the group feature of SSI so many can work on the match) *but* keep the stages or match not public (2) Issue match for approval (if needed) to your regional organiztion (add some of them to group and they can review online - or email them the pdf you generate) (3) Tell your sponsors that they can be visible both online and get a link-of-their choice for the banner image --- (4) Publish the match, shooters can directly download stage descriptions and will also click on sponsor-banners and this will be great for the event (e.g. you could tell sponsors to have a link to some match-specific-web-page offer...) --- Shoot'n Score It with as little admin as possible and as much shooting as possible ;-) and also the ability for you to give more back to your sponsors of the match. / Jens

Hi, great work :-) Drop me a PM or email (jens@twostorysoftware.com) on how we can make SSI work better and a list of things to fix ! Have you had a chance to look at our new API, this could also be used for these things. / Jens

In a stage you use the % to give you relative points to the winner that always get max points on the stage - but in the end you get points for the stage. Then on the match you summarize the points and the most points win, second most come in second place and so on. On match the winner gets 100% and then you give a shooter his match percentage based on how many percent of the winner points he/she has. So the ordering based on match points or match percent is the same. Myself I just use the percentage to see how tough a match it was and if I improved or not compared to last year. it is hard to tell about your example - if the guy that came in first zeroed two small stages this might not have all that much impact if he was great on all the others. Since the match is on points a large stage with 150p is as important as 5 x 30p stages. This is partially the reason for the balance on 3 short - 2 medium - 1 long stage in a match (at least it is something like this). In tme-plus this is somewhat lost as all stages give 100p but then you can add Enhanced value targets to ensure there is challenges and choices even within these 100p that you need to decide upon. Overall consistency pays off before shooting above your capability in most cases - just look at Erik Grauffel who competes on 95% of his capability and always shots extremely well and safe and never ever really crash and burn on any stages... Training he goes 110% but competing he goes safe. / Jens

The 'time-plus'-time for a stage is raw-time + penalties - enhanced value target (if there are any enhanced value targets, these points/sec will be subtracted to give you a better score). All time-plus stage have 100p (and the time-plus time can be max 500sec or min 0 sec). The shooter with smallest time-plus time on a stage wins the stage and get 100% or 100p. Lets say if a shooter has a time-plus time of 20.5 sec and this is the best (smallest for the stage), if another competitor gets a time-plus time of 27,3 sec this will give him/her a percentage of 20.5/27.3 = 75.09% or 75.09p for the stage. Then from stage --> match you add points to match points, highest match points get 100% and so on... / Jens
