Proposed New Scoring for MPL 2013.

[I. J.]

Just after its took me six months to explain the scoring system to some of the Rivi members.

Its a bit like painting the Forth bridge. By the time youve got the idea into latest members head the first one has forgot it.

If it aint broke - dont fix it.

Gee thanks Bob , just as i get my Gamo Centre and HW 45 ?????, i will really have to put some loft range time in now. PS I have just installed an old unwanted barn door to try and hit.

The new scoring system will make life easier for the scorer and easier for everyone to check the scores.

I don't expect to see any significant changes in any of the scores due to this change, but I do expect it to be easier to work with and easier to check.

If you are getting an HW45 the barn door will come in handy - but is unlikely to suffer too much damage

Joining the GAMO Gang is the best thing you could have done to improve your MPL scores, and making the cards easier to score won't make any difference to you or the Centres abilty to maximise the MPL rules.

What may suffer some collateral damage is our central heating boiler, it`s fairly close to the bell target and pellet catcher, shooting the Gamo, FWB, 6M and the 300s not a problem, but a 45 may mean a bit of Chobham Armour having to be fitted.

Try throwing the HW45 at the barn door - you will have more chance of hitting it and saving your boiler !

Probably not because i throw left handed ,no ! i forget the HW has ambi grips so i may stand a chance

Practise throwing your HW45 from the Humber Bridge - make sure you are about half way across and there is no shipping abut and it will be the best it will ever perform and give you something nice to remember about about it as it hits the water - probably the only thing it will ever hit that was actually intended!

This is not my original thread as my first reply which should have been at 1 pm today some how has got lost amongst the network and hopefully will be retrieved (watch this space).

Anyway, as the RMTC official or unofficial scorer, I would like to put in my two penneth and give Bob a big thumbs up! It's difficult enough trying to sus out who are using kickers and who are not especially when the culprits do not let you know. Also as I score up in other leagues trying to remember to score down and/or score up can sometimes tax even my brain. So this is a big yes for me and would also like to point out that people with kickers get 4 points added on per card giving them a total if my maths is correct of plus 16 points onto their overall score. Come on lads surely that's enough!

So for me Bob you get my vote and it is a yes.

I thought that the cards had to be marked with the pistol used, seems like some of the Rossendale's cards should not have been scored. As for rule changes should you not consult a few Rivi members first! I for one think that 4 points per card, for a springer, is excessive.

You do know at the moment it's possible to get 6 extra points per card with a springer? upwards scoring plus 1 point per card for a springer under 2012 rules.

Hi John,

This is only a proposal and I am consulting you all (in good time) and actually think you may be right about the +4 points ( please read my previous comments) - but other's may not agree with us.

I hope you do agree that changing the scoring so all cards are scored in the same way ( UP as per normal pistol scoring) is a good thing that will make things a lot easier for us all.

My guess is that it is only the size of the kicker bonus that may need looking at.

I have proposed +4, to keep everything about where it is now, but have suggested that +3 might just even things up a bit better.



..nice try about the RMTC scores by the way - but all the cards are recorded with the pistol used and this information ( like the Rivvy info) is displayed for all to see in the results sheet as well.
