nhglyn Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Here is the scenario that happened at a local match. Match is finished and results are posted on USPSA "local match results" site. Results are obviously broken down by division. Local club is small and also does combined results for all divisions and these are posted on the club's website a day later. In one of the divisions "A" beats "B" by less than a percent as posted on the USPSA site. When combined results are posted on club website "B" beats "A" by less than 1%. My question is............ If "A" finished ahead of "B" in their division then how, when all divisions are combined, does "B" catch up to and pass "A" for the win? So "A" wins the division but loses to "B" (who he beat in that division) when all divisions are combined? I am puzzled and would really like to the scoring anamolies that would cause this to happen. If "A"s hit factors were better than "B"'s by enough to win division then why are they not still enough to be ahead of him when other divisions are added in to results. Has anyone seen this happen elsewhere? Explanation as to how it could happen? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes, it does happen when there's a really close race in one of the divisions. Short answer: Combining the results of all divisions changes who had the High HF on some stages (for those 2 folks running so close together). That in turn changes how many points each will get for that stage/stages. That can result in their results being flipped when combined with all other shooters in all divisions.

Chris Keen Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yup, seen it happen a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Searching on "flip-flops" should turn it up (along with some photos of Jake you really don't want to see). Basically it happens when the highest HF on the stage isn't set by someone in the flip-flopping division. This thread has a pretty good summary: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...p;hl=flip-flops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi all. I really don't get the point of combining results from different divisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhglyn Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) RogerT, It is a small club with some divisions only having 3-6 people in them and the overall match has 30-50 each month. Everyone likes to see how they did against their buddies in the other divisions so the combined results are used for informational/bragging purposes.
