Why pocket pro? If anything, look at the ProTimer BT, that is if you don't want to wait for the AMG one. The Pocket Pro is a discontinued device and CE website (the manufacturer of these timers) also shows this warning

In PractiScore app for Android the BT timers do disconnect from the app every time you leave the scoring screen or when the tablet screen is turned off. So, with details you stated it is seem to be working as expected. Also, you can find the contact info for PractiScore support at the main screen of the PractiScore app.

The thing has too many knobs and switches that it feels like you could get pretty much any predictions you could think of...

Before last stage of the match (Stage 8), it was only 2 points for Jacob's match win. That didn't happen. Congrats to the winners! PS: JJ would be 3rd place with the current standings PPS: an extra shot on Stage 19 probably cost Tod Jarrett a 3rd place in PCC. Though still a Senior title for him.

2 points between Nils and Jacob before last stage of the match. It seems like Jacob is shooting last on that stage. PS: no one guessed anywhere close to the PCC standing. Who would have thought of that 2nd place...

10 points between Nils and Jacob. 2 more stages to go.

20 poins lead back to Nils

...and just like that

After day 1 Nils is 40 points behind, closely followed by Sal and JJ. Mason shot the same stages. At the last match Nils managed to catch up 40+ points he lost on day 1. So, we'll see how the day 2 goes for everyone...

The SCSA results on the PractiScore website have "centerfire pistol" or "main match".

The most blowing thing was him winning after throwing away 40+ points on one of the stages (that is about 2.5% of the match points). PS: and his win margin was less than 0.5 of a match point...

When I got into pistol competition many years ago I've got RUReady timer. It is stupid simple and still works... and manufacturer hasn't updated it for over two decades. The PACT and a few other popular timers kinda in the same category of outdated electronics, which doesn't make them the best timers now. In the last few years, several manufacturers made advancements that changed the sport of practical shooting and we can see more data both from competitions and in practice. Those newer devices make match results more detailed and accurate and also can help you to save time and get more data from your practice.

When you get tired creating fake matches, stages and shooters in the PractiScore app, take a look at the PractiScore Log app which is specifically created to run drills https://community.practiscore.com/t/practiscore-log-app-info/215 and then more - https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/298342-best-android-tablet-for-practiscore-log/?do=findComment&comment=3299026

Let's put that in prospective. How big is the "big display" on pact club? Also, how many button clicks does it take to set/change par times on club pack timer? Also, here are some side by side comparisons of the timer's screens. Don't have CED7000, RUready and Pact handy, but in my recollection size of the time is about half the size of AMG. And regarding Bluetooth... You can do things like this with it: https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/298342-best-android-tablet-for-practiscore-log/?do=findComment&comment=3299026 EK

Most of you described has nothing to do with being easy to use... Personally I don't find any timer difficult to use at all. However not all of them perform at the same level, eg. catching echo or false positives. PS: setting par times on CE ProTimer is kinda pain in the butt, not sure if Pocket Pro uses the same interface. It is much simpler in amg, m1a5, ruready or ced. PPS: with Bluetooth you might get an option to set it the same way using the app, regardless of the device.

Which does not make it not outdated, and even manufacturer's website says that timer model "retired". Besides, there is a BT version of the ProTimer from the same manufacturer. BTW, the "simple and easy to use" argument is kinda the same for most if not for all timers on the market. Between Pocket Pro, CED7000 and AMG which one is the most difficult to use?

Not really. But it was a thing for this match.

...they shot US IPSC Nationals on mostly the same or similar stages. Shane won this time, but probably because of some issue Gaston had on stage 15, which cost him 25 points he could not catch up. I did side by side comparison of the 2 runs (the "1" is for PanAm match runs). Not surprisingly, shooters improved their results.

Also depends what you want from your timer. When running matches, connection with PractiScore is a big plus now. When practicing, keeping a log or a journal of your runs is also a big plus. Even better if you can get that linked with videos of your runs and could compare them side by side after... There is an app for that and it works with several timers. https://community.practiscore.com/t/practiscore-log-app-info/215 If timer does not have Bluetooth connectivity now, it is a rather outdated product.

If that was the case, we probably wouldn't haven't seen 12% jump in Open division... More likely just a different style of stages. Less hosing, more transitions, more movement, longer distance to targets, more athletic style of stages at PanAm and that is reflected in a generally lower HFs at this match.

Normally I'd see Standard division to dominate over all Minor divisions or be closer than 8% drop. I'm guessing either both Shane and Gorka aren't used to this style of stages or the rain fall during some of the match days had slowed them down. This was an IPSC match and many of them came from South America or Europe. And the stages likely were different for the usual USPSA SS/Major dominance. It is probably worth to compare stage HFs between this match and the Single Stack at USPSA Nationals: PanAm Classic HFs (Min): 2.8 5.1 2.3 5.7 4.1 5.9 4.2 4.3 3.8 3.3 5.2 6.5 7.3 5.4 4.4 4.9 3.6 5.5 3.9 6.7 6.2 5.1 4.0 5.8 2022 Classic Nationals HFs (Maj): 5.7 6.0 8.1 6.9 6.7 7.5 6.6 5.3 5.7 7.7 10.3 7.7 8.1 8.2 Easy to see the latter stage HFs are quite higher. Likely because different style of stages.

...does stages 12 and 13 times look odd to anyone? As if they entered Nils results on the opposite stage.
