Proposed New Scoring for MPL 2013.

Oh and Paul W is a freak and should have to shoot Annie Oakley style to give the rest of us a chance .

It wouldn't make any difference - Paul's one of those naturally talented shooters; Malcolm Cooper and Mick Meggison spring to mind - both Olympic standard.

Malcolm Cooper owned Accuracy International and shot 3 position rifle; Mick runs Kelbrook Shooting School but used to shoot rapid fire pistol, standard pistol and running boar rifle to name but 3 disciplines.......

Mike.

That's nothing - we have a butcher a baker and a candlestick maker ........just to mention just a few of our local talents.

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.
