calif3gunner Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Our club is thinking of using the IMGA rules at our next 3G match and I had a couple questions. What is the best way to figure out the points percentage based on a 100 points for the 1st place shooter and is there a sample score sheet that works best for straight time with bonus for accuracy?

George Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Here are some downloadable spreadsheet examples for time+ scoring: http://www.3gunrules.com/documents/multi-gun-scoring/ Bonuses have to be worked into the stage descriptions themselves and then reduced to time at the stage. Example: 3 difficult pieces of steel at a great distance can be worth 5, or 10 seconds off the competitors stage run time each "if hit" but there is no penalty if they are not engaged. This is sorted out as the stage is scored for each competitor and requires no work in the match scoring process. The best way to assign points with an arbitrary stage value system is to reduce each competitors raw time into a percentage of the stage winners raw time and award portions of the 100 point stage value according to that. That is how SMM3G and RM3G do it. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religious Shooter Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Have you and/or Brandon decided on if you wanted to MD the CA 3 Gun Series? If so are you guys also thinking to convert the series to IMGA scoring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calif3gunner Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yes I am going to run the Ca 3Gun for 06 and if I can figure out the best way to utilize the IMGA rules and scoring I would like to try it. I am thinking of trying it out at our Winter Classic 3-G on Sat Jan 28 at 5-Dogs in Bakersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 No Area 2 3G match at Bakersfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calif3gunner Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Our club will be hosting both the Silver Buckle pistol match and the CA 3-G series next year so unfortunately we were not able to fit in an Area 2 3G. I went to 3gun.com and the only competitor scoresheet I found was for USPSA matches. Is there a generic scoresheet for IMGA time + scoring?

scottmilk9 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Honestly i say total time plus penalties is better than percentage. OH wait, here we go again............... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Naahh... IMGA scoring makes the CA Series more yucky. I like the bastardized USPSA scoring we used. I think going from a the time-tested USPSA scoring program to using Excel files to score would make the whole thing harder to score and more error prone. Look at what happened to the Open shooter at the RM3G. It sounded like it was a software/Excel "error". Using IMGA scoring makes it more of a hosefest on the close-in targets. But whatever makes the ship run. I'll still shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 shot the winter classic at 5 dogs saturday, where IMG rules were kinda used. didn't matter to me, until my SG jammed in the middle of a stage where there were flying clays. shot 4 poppers and had 3 clays in the air when it jammed. total cost to me was 30 seconds in FTE penalties for the 3 clays i couldn't shoot at. guess in hindsight, after clearing the jam i coulda just hosed 3 rounds downrange. gotta say i didn't like that...
