That's nothing - we have a butcher a baker and a candlestick maker

So you've got someone who can provide the means to burn a Shergar pie....... ...very, very slowly; I'm less than impressed.

Just a reminder to everyone - Round Two of the second series of the MPL is to be shot next week - the last week in February.

That seems to have come around again quickly this month - good luck everyone!

The revised MPL scoring system ( all cards scored inwards) has worked very well this season and has been a benefit for all of us as it has made the scoring easy and clear cut for everyone to understand.

The third season of the MPL will start in July 2013, and the only (possible) suggested change will be the kicker bonus - as discussed here on this thread.

The debate has been good and both sides of the subject has been well represented, so can I suggest that we do keep the kicker bonus (for all the good reasons that it was devised in the first place), but revise the points bonus to +3 points per card ?

I think we have enough experience with the MPL and the revised scoring system so far to know that we all want to keep the bonus system, but that it is regarded as being a little generous at +4 points per card (plus 16 points per round).

I would like to further suggest that if we make this change to plus 3 points per card ( plus 12 points per round) that it then becomes permanent and is not put up for revision again in the future as we do still need to encourage the use of "kickers" in this series and do not want anyone to think that the bonus system will continue to be eroded further in the future.

shooting a recoiless pistol gives a vast advantage over a kicker, so im thinking the 4points is a fair amount.
or maybe only allow kickers so there is no advantages ,then no extra points will be necessery.

I agree with +3 per card Bob but on a few occasions in this series both me & Paul have scored over 50 points on one card with the +4, maybe a max of 50 per card would be an idea so there isn't a riot when Paul breaks the 200 points total you know how "heated" it can get on here I'm shooting my FWB 65 at the min but I'm looking out for another 45 it's just more fun with a kicker

or maybe only allow kickers so there is no advantages ,.

And immediately loose 50+% of the competitors in the MPL.
