That'd probably do it. Ken and company, being proactive are addressing the "issue". From a FB post by Ken: " On the PractiScore side, we are changing so that the overalls will be an option for the Match Director to show or not show, and that even when shown will not be the default view. " This way we can let the healing begin ... (Now people are going to be pissed about what division is shown as default ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah, the overall is going to be disabled by about zero club match directors. But the lone revolver and L10 and Single-stack shooters will love it-- "100% across the board, ma!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 back in the days prior to practicscore i don't remember pining to know the overall. but since then i've swung from wanting to crunch tons of numbers and wanting all the data possible to just what i can garner now in a quick glance.

ChuckS Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The first (and mostly only) place to see scores in Area 2 was logically the Area 2 web site. Jerry Mallard, the webmiester would post the overall scores. This is true from Feb 1999 and likely earlier. Somehow, the area survived this travesty.

One of our guys has always brought an old computer and would do scores while we shot. Once laptops were available it was no big deal to have scores done just a few minutes after the last shooter. Sometimes they have been printed, sometimes we would just look on the screen at the match, but long wait times for scores have generally not been an issue in my area for 10 plus years. And we do not in any way have a fancy setup.

Southpaw Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I like having overalls. Especially nice to have if you're shooting a division not many others are shooting. It would be nice if the website had the ability to check boxes for which divisions to include in overalls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euxx Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Web site would have to do a full-blown results recalculation for every possible variant/permutation of divisions or scoring variants. Currently it shows static data as posted by MD. But PractiScore Competitor app does it all, and then some more. You can run it on a computer, e.g. in a Bluestacks (needs Google Play support to install paid apps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Surfer Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 LOL, I'm just surprised a long-gun can beat a handgun in a handgun COF.

gerritm Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, they do only beat PCC's. But it really depends on the course of fire & the MD. PCC's do well on open long fast courses with tight shots, no shoots, head shots. Stages with lots of leans around props & walls left & right are better for pistol shooters. Some MD's are more PCC friendly than others. In the Houston area they go all different directions kind of based on what the MD shoots or shot. He tends to favor that style of stages. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember ever hearing about how rimfire or PCC was so unfair to the rest of the Steel Challenge competitors. Not at all. Of course, that sport already had rifles (rimfire) before PCC. But I've also found that Steel Challenge is more of a "family crowd" and less ego driven than what you can sometimes run into in USPSA. There is also (at least within PractiScore) the convention of reporting results in the "main match" which is defined at the Centerfire pistols. That makes it a bit easier to see how you compare with other centerfire pistols shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euxx Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 By the way, if some MD want to post separate results for PCC (or any other division that makes some people butt hurt). It only takes 10 seconds to clone match, delete selected divisions and post results for that cloned match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolexJohn Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I will say that I side with those that feel that stage design should be division agnostic. The people that have problems with the PCC division because stage designs have changed are misdirecting their ire IMHO. This isn't a PCC problem. This is a MD problem. Again, just my opinion. The notion that promoting PCC somehow creates unskilled pistol shooters I think stems from the silly notion that shooting PCC requires no skill. Reloads still take practice. As does shooting weak/off-hand. As does operate a PCC accurately, at speed, and not violating any safety rules (breaking 180 for example). I'll also state that I think it's counterproductive from a 2A standpoint for there to be so much division hate/bashing. Yes, a PCC is a very practical defensive weapon. I'm grateful I have the opportunity to shoot competitively with one in USPSA. Ultimately if the gun grabbers win (which I think is more likely than not) a good part of the reason why is the practical shooting community tends to be a circular firing squad at times. If you're a safe shooter, you exhibit good sportsmanship, and you help reset, you should be embraced and supported in the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The same people probably would not have liked the changes since USPSA started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is that the stuff that makes pcc an occasional nuisance in USPSA (new rule set, some guns that are too quiet, unique starts, special staging area needs, etc) are not an issue with steel challenge, more of a round peg in a round hole kind of thing.
