Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Mysterious! Can you send support@practiscore.com the match export file? Do this from the Import/Export menu item off the main menu. Note we aren't looking for results, just the match file. Ken N.
  2. You will need a free account on stripe.com they will provide you with private and public keys that you enter into the payments section of your club dashboard settings I'm trying to focus support through one communcation channel so we don't miss stuff. . For further help, can you email support@practiscore.com ? Regards, Ken N.
  3. Can you send this to support@practiscore.com as well? It's hard to keep up with the various ways people ask us questions. As Eugene says, NRA scoring is in the iOS app and nearly ready for Androian. But an email will let us track it better for you. Regards, Ken N.
  4. As of now, no. The engineer is investigating. He hadn't considered it because the point of the app is to replace a printed document! But he realizes it might be useful, so he's investigating how to add that. Ken N.
  5. I'm checking on how to do this with the engineer who wrote it. Ken N.
  6. The associate with club part is temporarily broken right now. It's frustrating me too ( I run a club). It's coming back as soon as the team can get it there. Apologies for the trouble! Ken N.
  7. You can always post the scores for review only. PractiScore has a posting mode for that. It is much reviled, so use with caution. Shooters seem to like to know what their relative position is. I post calculated scores (not just raw data) regularly at matches. In fact at the Area 1 coming up next week, they literally will be going up constantly as synched. Ken N.
  8. This functionality is in the iOS version app only right now. It is migrating to the web site but we have a lot going on getting features ready for the upcoming Area 1 match, so that is on hold til then. We do recommend having an iOS app available, as a work around for bugs that may exist in the Android version, and vice versa. If for some reason you don't have one or can't easily track one down from somebody who does, send us the match file export from the Sync page and we can generate the file for you. Ken N.
  9. Sorry for missing email. We had some issues with move to Google suite email services for our practiscore.com email. I'm getting answer for this. Send to support@practiscore.com and can reply there as well.
  10. Hi, I was MD for the match. It is 3 matches in one: - Steel Challenge, scored with time-plus - Scramble which is points - Dynamic Steel, scored with time-plus this year, but has also been done as time+ w/ points We score these using PractiScore individually. Then we use PractiScore's "mixed" scoring match to link the 3 matches. It takes the winner of each match, calls that score 100% and then factors down. For the overall we add up the %s taken to 3 decimal points. The "perfect" score would be 300. The winner of Limited, Nils, won Scramble, finished 2nd in SC and DS for a for 297.459, beating out Brian Nelson who won DS, and SC, but finished 2nd in the Scramble with 295.049 overall points. https://practiscore.com/results/html/eb773ba3-881f-4367-8773-1e69a765fdf2 The matches all share the same registration information. For info on how to do that, email support@practiscore.com. The same technique can be used for series or tournament type events. So, for instance, we could have run these as 3 separate sequential events. There is a series module though, as well, that factors in rules like "must shoot X of Y events, and best N are used for results". The "mixed" mode can be used to mix any match type PS supports. You can even mix skeet and precision type events with practical shooting. It is also what is used for the various "best of all type" matches like the Trijicon or NRA world shoots. It can support matches from any platform we run on (iOS or Android) but the mixing module only is available on the iOS version right now. Regards, Ken N.
  11. PractiScore master (the iPad in this case) will synch and merge all the scores and registration changes done on the Nooks. The way I do this for our weekly matches (30 to 40 people): - register and pay in one spot, squad then - sync the devices send them out - if somebody shows up late, get their match fee, send them out, register them on the Nook If a match is super busy, like hundred+ people then online is very helpful, even if you take money at the range not online. And if you don't want to use online then you can go parallel - use MULTIPLE devices at registration to register and squad. In this case what I do is one pay line, and a set of devices per squad. Go the squad you want, register and squad. I loosely, as MD, make sure that they squads balance out (no 14s and a 5). This will register 100 people as fast as you can 15. And I never ever hold up matches to register. The devices go out on time, and people can register out on the stage when they shoot. Hope this helps. Ken N.
  12. 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!
  13. Hi, My 13 year old son, an avid USPSA / IDPA junior shooter, put 1000+ rounds through an STI GP6-C in the last month. His review can be read here: http://briankevinnelson.com/sti-gp6-c-171 His summary...: The GP6-C is race-ready out of the box. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on a heavily customized SIG, Glock or XD, nor go to the trouble of installing aftermarket parts. Even with hundreds of dollars in aftermarket triggers and components, you will only come close to the single-action trigger on the GP6-C, probably its most outstanding feature. It is a new gun, so accessories are scarce, but I’ve found three suitable holsters and magazine holders. I’m very impressed with the GP6-C, and you’ll see me shooting it in IDPA competitions more in the coming months. Your feedback on the review and also experiences with the GP6-C are welcome. Note... be kind over his comparison with the SIG P226, remember... he just turned 13 and hasn't yet encountered gun wars of faith (-: Regards, Ken N.
  14. I've shot mostly Limited and Production. Maybe one match of SS and one match of L10. I prefer Production because I like to reload and because the guns never give me trouble. I shoot Limited mainly, however, because most other folks do and it is fun to compete. My eyes are fading so I may have to switch to Open. Ken N.
