How many penalty points?

[XDman]

OK, I will admit I screwed up. Here is what happened.

Shooting the stage, and bypassed two targets behind a small port. Did not engage at all. So my question is how many total penalty points is this?

Two FTE at twice the max points on target, would be 10 each for a total of 20 penalty points. Then is each miss a 10 point penalty as well as each target required two scoring hits? 4 misses total?

I ask as I received 60 penalty points on this stage.

Thanks.

[Sarge]

FTE will be 30 each.

1 procedural. 10 points

2 mikes. 10 each

60 penalty points for 2 skipped targets is correct.

[bikerburgess]

Yep 60 points is correct, just be glad it wasn't best 3 or 4 per target. the penaltie is pretty brutal but it keeps people from trying to game the stage by skiping targets.

Thanks guys. Wasn't trying to get away with anything, just a mid stage brain fart.

I do it all the time. Pity there isn't a Beano for brain farts.

Wow..skipping targets? That's just plain dumb. Who the hell would do something like that....oh wait....I did. At a Sectional Match. But if you're going to do it....do it right. Skip three like I did!!

[Hello]

Don't forget the 20 points you could have earned with A's... 60 is correct, but in the big picture it set you back 80. Bummer!

How about 5 points costing you 50? Missed the activation popper for the Drop Turner. Popper -20 and DT -30 even though the targets were disappearing because I failed to activate it.

[Nik Habicht]

How'd the popper cost you 20? Special double weight steel? :D

1 Mike 1 FTE I failed to see it Or shoot at it even though it was wide open

My understanding of not engaging a target is 1 FTE (procedural) is 10, then 2 mikes is 20( 10 each). That is 30 points per target.

Sadly I know this by missing a 4 target array at a monthly once. Completely forgot the COF had a right side. Dumbass.

I'd like to see the rule on penalties for a non-activated disappearing target?

I totally agree with the -20 for the Steel, but not sure on the paper target.

OUCH!! 60 points! That will kill your score quick

I totally agree with the -20 for the Steel, but not sure on the paper target.

9.9.3 Moving scoring targets will always incur failure to shoot at and miss penalties if a competitor fails to activate the mechanism which initiates

the target movement.

Edited to add the 9. in front of the 9.3

9.3 Moving scoring targets will always incur failure to shoot at and miss penalties if a competitor fails to activate the mechanism which initiates

the target movement.

Clarity, 9.9.3

Cut and paste sucks for some reason

[Poppa Bear]

Good catch

[GuildSF4]

SInce I don't see the rule posted-

10.2.7 A competitor who fails to shoot at any scoring target with at least one round will incur one procedural penalty per target, plus the

applicable number of misses, except where the provisions of Rules 9.2.4.4 or 9.9.2 apply.

So 2 FTE's and 4 Misses = 60 penalty points.
