Flexmoney Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If I am the Range Officer on the timer and you are on the RO on the clip board... I call out the time of: Twenty Three Six What do you write down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_M Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 20.36 is what I would write down. When I hear a time called, I expect to hear 4 digits. If the time was 23.6x I would ask to hear what the last digit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunchies95 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I agree with Will_M. 20.36 is what I would write down. That is also why I call out time as two zero three six. Eliminates all confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I would write 23.60. I am a pilot and have to hear, interpret, and repeat decimal digits for radio freqs a lot. There is a standard way of saying decimal digits in aviation, but it's not always followed. As for this example, I would probably clarify 23.6 vs 20.36, but I would write 23.6 initially. I also tell my RO that I want to hear "Point" in there somewhere. Good discussion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I guess I would wrong with 23.6. I would think two zero three six for 20.36 .I alway repet it back the way I'm going to write/ put it on the score sheet/ palm.

DWFAN Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Twenty Three Six = 20.36 Twenty Three Sixty or Six zero = 23.60 This is how I would say it (or say two, zero, three, six) and record it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdphotoguy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is the very reason why the person running the clipboard should repeat back everything the RO is calling out during scoring and both ROs should call out times as two zero point three six.

OperationHitFactor Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Depends on the slow factor... 203.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is the very reason why the person running the clipboard should repeat back everything the RO is calling out during scoring and both ROs should call out times as two zero point three six. Exactly right. Well, assuming the time was, in fact, 20.36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I write down, 20.36, but I call out to you Two Zero Three Six. Hopefull you are listening to my response and either confirm or correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is the very reason why the person running the clipboard should repeat back everything the RO is calling out during scoring and both ROs should call out times as two zero point three six. Would that really make a difference in this case? The timer RO would hear back exactly what he/she just said, right? So, he/she would be happy that is was recorded right. ?

Poppa Bear Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Nothing until you agree or correct my understanding. I would repeat back two zero point three six? You can either say correct or No, twenty three point six zero, or show me the timer so I can read it myself. I try to avoid scoring as I go, I watch the shooter so I am right there at the end to see the timer myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB33 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It depends if the shooter is my competition ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It would make a difference if the clipboard repeated back "two zero point three six", like the timer RO should have said in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moverfive Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I write down, 20.36, but I call out to you Two Zero Three Six. Hopefull you are listening to my response and either confirm or correct me. 2036. ? I am also used to hearing and saying the word "dot" in there to separate whole seconds from the partial second. So in my case, I would either repeat back the time with the word "dot" seeking a verbal agreement and/or actually look at the timer for my confirmation.

Rob Tompkins Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If I am the Range Officer on the timer and you are on the RO on the clip board... I call out the time of: Twenty Three Six What do you write down? Depends on if I hear a pause between the Twenty and the Three. Of couse it needs to be confirmed back to the RO on the timer with individual digits called out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If I am the Range Officer on the timer and you are on the RO on the clip board... I call out the time of: Twenty Three Six What do you write down? Nothing yet. I visually confirm what the timer RO stated by looking at the timer. Then as I right the numbers down, I say them. If a procedure other than that occurs, I'll talk to the timer RO and make sure we are both visually and audibly verifying the time. By rule, two decimal places must be recorded.

NoSteel Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 My reply back would be 20 "dot" 36. I usually like to have my eyes actually see the time on the timer though before I record to clearly be sure both agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
