Subminor or is actually supported by USPSA rulebook, aka shoot for no score, hence 0 points.
If you want any different calculations from USPSA rules, there is a complete verification report in the app, that contains entire raw scores, so you can open it in Excel and do any calculations you like. Excel can open any HTML pages or tables.
Sorry, euxx, I don't see where this report is in the app. Can you give me a clue, please?

Again, many thanks.

If you wanted to reach out to PractiScore developers, it is better to email support@practiscore.com
Divisions are abbreviated to the first letter. Unless all letters are capital. But even when abbreviation results to the same value, your division still reported separately. It is up to you to recover abbreviation conflicts, eg name it all upper case.
I thought I'd ask here hoping that someone has already encountered this problem and new the fix. I rarely bother the folks that develop this product (or, others for that matter) for something that may be obvious or trivial; I'm sure they've got better things to do.
FYI, I used "Subminor" and got the "S" abbreviation, which I can live with. But, if it uses the first letter, why doesn't "Single Stack" use "S" as well?
Thanks for the replies.

Sure. I run a winter league that's not affiliated with USPSA, but uses the USPSA rules. My goal when starting this winter league (in '95) was so I couild have a place to shoot, and to give new shooters an "exposure" to this type of match. It's the second part that I'm talking about.
Rather than require new shooters to have (or purchase) a gun that shoots a cartridge that meets Minor PF - just to try it - I use a "Light" PF of 5/3/2/1 or a ".22RF" PF of 4/2/1/1 so they can bring what they already own. If they like it, fine. If not, they aren't our many $$ just to try it. I've gotten some folks to start shooting USPSA matches this way.
I'm currently using a spreadsheet scoring program, but would like to use PractiScore. I've used the "Subminor" PF, but the shooter get 0 points for the match. That's not acceptable, to me. I *can* use the "results" data from the match, re-format it for input to my spreadsheet and accomplish this, but that's not the route I want to use.
Any suggestions would be very helpful (you've already saved me a bunch of frustration on the "hot range" subject!).
Thanks.

I entered a new division in PractiScore, "Light" and initially it worked fine. But when I checked the results, it was changed to "L" which is "Limited." What's happening? Are there hidden rules for new division names?
-
Since the USPSA notice that EzWinScore is out, and PractiScore is in, I've been playing with the latest version by using data from an existing match (scored by paper and a spreadsheet program). The spreadsheet allows us to add more than the Major/Minor power factors, as well as the target zone values, and get a match score for the shooter. Is there any way to do this with PractiScore. [Got great help on another question - hoping for more! ]

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

The title isn't quite correct (text space limitations). What I'd like to know is how to quickly/efficiently to enter a shooter's scores on two stages before the next shooter. Here's why.
We typically combine two stages on a single range, or bay: a short and quick stage and a classifier. The stages are staggered so that the shooter shoots the quick stage, then moves "hot" to the starting position of the classifier. The classifier start position is downrange of the targets of the quick stage so they can be scored while the shooter is doing the classifier. Hence stages 1 and 2. When the shooter has shot the classifier and the range is clear, the classifier is scored, everyone moves uprange of the quick stage and the next shooter comes to the starting position of the quick stage.
What we've got is shooter 1 shootes stage 1 then 2.
Shooter 2 shootes stage 1 then 2.
And so on.
We found that switching between stages to score the same shooter was cumbersome and prone to errors. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Gaffers tape is worth the money. It lasts all match and doesn't rip and stick to the floor when tearing down.
I'm going to look into that, too.
Thanks for the great ideas!

We have indoor uspsa matches here. We use flexible conduit from Home depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Carlon-3-4-in-x-100-ft-ENT-Coil-Blue-12007-100/100404116?MERCH=REC-_-PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-100569078-_-100404116-_-N .It can be easily cut to any length. We attach it to the wooden target stands and wall supports with clamps. Its flexible so you can create some interesting curved fault lines. When a fairly long straight run is needed I use 1/2 inch rigid conduit and slide it inside the plastic stuff. we also use sandbags when necessary to hold them in place. Both types are cheap and available.
I'll look into that. Do you have any concerns about tripping over them?
-
We used to use duct tape, but it wouldn't pull up easily and would leave a sticky footprint. That's why the change to painters tape. But like RecoilJunkie pointed out, it tears too easily.
I'd never heard of gaffers tape, so I looked it up. Pricey! But it might be what we need. Don't know about using something as "big" as 2x2s but furring strips (1x2s) or lathe might work.
Thanks for the comments. -
I'm looking for ideas to use for fault lines and shooting boxes for indoor matches on a smooth concrete floor. Currently, I'm using foam pipe insulation that I split in half lengthwise. These are taped onto the floor using painter's tape, but they can be (and are) pushed by the shooters' feet so the lines are ... bendable! I'd like something that is firmer and that would give some "feel" for the shooter. Plastic guides for cables and wires that are used in office traffic areas would be ideal, but at about $8 / 3' that's too expensive.
My greatest concern is using something that the shooter could step on but would slide and cause a fall.
What do some of you use for your matches?
-
At our club we allow people to sync their device at the end of the match. The ones who want it get everything on their device. At the end of the day its the percentages that count sometimes we don't want to remember the misses
Good point!

SkyRock, unfortunately given that you're the only one to ask for such report in last couple years, I won't be able to give it a priority and I only have so much time to spare to work on PractiScore app for Android.
Anyhow, if you can't live without these values, your best bet is to export from PractiScore into EZWinScore and generate these verification reports from there. Though for your shooters it is probably just easier to look at the match results posted to the practiscore.com web site.
I understand, and appreciate your responses. Please, keep me in mind if in the future you're looking for something to do.
I may try using EZWinScore to get the data. Being retired has it's advantages!
-
SkyRock, you haven't answered what you need these hits data for?
PS: The EZWS scores verification reports does have hits info. But for PractiScore there is a very little need for a verification report, because scores already entered electronically.
Sorry.
I need it for two reasons. I email the results of each match to all participants in the form of a single text file. It's similar to the results display in Practiscore. I also extract the shooters' name, USPSA info, Division, Power Factor and Match Percent values which I use to calculate the season scoring.
I can get all I need from the .ZIP match results file from Practiscore, except the shooters' A, B, C, D hits, misses, no-shoot hits, and Virginia count penalties that I need for the match results text file. That's what I'm asking for. If I had access to an iOS system(?), I could get it from the stage results files. But I don't.
The quest continues...
-
I owe everyone an appology!
It seems that my memory is really getting flaky. EzWinScore did not give me the data I was looking for. It was my scoring spreadsheets that did! And Practiscore gives me the same data that EZW did.
I still would like to get the shooters' hit and penalty data (the Practiscore review files from iOS has that data, but I don't have access to iOS), so the quest continues...
[Getting old ain't for sissys. And for those that know me, no comment about "Murphy's Law!" ]

I've had two folks emailing me with suggestions. I don't know if they know each other, but I'd like to thank them, and those above that offered help.
FWIW, my comments and rants in no way are meant to belittle the work done by those involved in the development, support and maintenance of Practiscore. Many thanks, and my hat's off to you!
Meanwhile, in spite of my whining we're getting close...

Not sure what reports EZWinScore would give you, I've never used it.
Nor have I. We had a scorekeeper for our summer leage last year that used EZWinScore. He would do the scoring, send the results to USPSA, and send me the results that included the shooters' hits (or misses) and penalties. I reformatted that to send to the shooters in a single text file. I would also extract the data needed for season scoring.
-
The EZWinScore Sync options under View Results will give you registration and score info in CSV format
Hmmm... So maybe I should get EZWinScore, export the match from Practiscore to it, then get the data I want from EZW?
-
i wonder if the report you want is the "Detailed Review"
View Results -> Select the Stage in Stage Results -> Detailed Review.
That is on the IOS version
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Tab4s. "Detailed Review" isn't an option.
But, even if it was, that doesn't tell me how to get the match results FROM the tablet TO my PC in a format that I can handle (.TXT, .CSV, or ???). I can get the results in a .PSC file, but since I can't open or use that format, it may as well be Sanskrit.

Please email support@practiscore.com and we'll figure out what is going on.
Email sent.

We're using Practiscore for our indoor winter league (not USPSA affiliated, but we use USPSA rules) in preperation for the upcoming summer matches. Hopefully, we'll look what we're doing, even if it ain't so.
The problem I've got is collecting the match results. It seems that the shooters' target hits are missing. Is there any way to get the match results that include target hits?
Thanks.

Sounds to me like you really want to be using photoshop! Activating and deactivating layers is very easy there.
So I understand. But the price of GIMP is better (free!), and, according to users in other forums, GIMP nearly matches it Photoshop/s functionallity.
I'm looking at Paint.Net, now.
-
Should be doable but slow, every prop you import will be on its own layer, and to move that pro you will need to switch to that layer first. So you will have lots of layers to manage.
That may be, but right now I'm only working with a .BMP file and a single layer. When anything is moved, it usually involves some "work" to make it appear correctly.
I'd just like something like: Range boundaries on one layer, reference grid on it's own layer (really needed since it's an indoor range), and a layer for the targets (never mind other props). That way, I can move targets without affecting the other layers. When I'm finished, turn off the grid layer and make an output graphic file.
But I can't figure out how to make multiple layers visible!!!

Got it! Thanks, again!
