I hold an informal Rimfire Challenge match one Sunday a month from May-Sep at my home range. It is the main activity for a "Sunday Picnic and Shoot", it is an activity for members of my church(and friends), hot dog cookout, pot luck sides,lawn games, etc.. I am an NRA Pistol instructor and RO. For a number of years, I used the NRA Rimfire Silhouette match, but it proved to difficult for most shooters. Understand, most are non-competitive shooters, most borrow my rifles(I have 3-4 10-22s I loan). Great success with the Rimfire Challenge format, I visit the NSSF website, and use all their rules. However, I only do the rifle competition, mostly for safety and time reasons. Have introduced dozens of non-shooters, even anti's to the world of firearms. Many women have taken their first shots at this affair! I love the idea of the NSSF that the shoot format be easy(90% hits, 90% of the time). I only set up one stage, shoot 4 strings per, add fastest 3=total time score(adjusted for penalties of course). Newbies are learning the gun safety rules, and learning how to shoot, and having fun! I even bought some cheapie medals on ribbons last summer for winner, they loved it! Not a formal club event, not sanctioned, but I believe I am living up to the goals of the sport!

I shot the Excellence in Competition match in the mid 80's, AF, used S&W 38's, sound like the same format I remember(?) I think you had to finish in the top 10% to medal, I received the EIC medal, not many B52 Bombardiers/Navigators wore those! Don't know anything about leg points.
