Hi John,

There is a new thread for the 2014 competition that will start after Christmas so please register your interest there and keep an eye on the thread as we will advise the cost and how to enter in the new year.

Merry Christmas!

I have brought this back to the top again as I am being asked about the rules by newcomers to the 6 yard MPL postal competition that did not see them the first time around.

The rules for the 2014 6 yard series remain unchanged and are exactly as shown at the start of this thread - the only change being the email address to send your scores to at the end of each month.

The new address to send your scores to by the end of each month is 6ydmpl@gmail.com

Shooting.

1. Six targets need to be shot each month with 5 shots on each = total possible score of 300 ex 300.

2. All targets are to be shot unsupported & single handed at 6 yards by the shooter himself or herself.

Hi Bob / Phil,

As the MPL is only 4 cards per round, should this one not be the same? Just a suggestion.

Plus i made a small suggestion shown in red to shooting rule 2

Is there really any need to have an official scorer?As it can be shot anywhere unwitnessed.why not date and sign your cards,shoot then post on here or email,then randomly choose a few shooters each month to have their cards sent in and officially checked.
This would save what could end up hundreds of cards having to be marked by Phil.

Somebody has to co-ordinate and make sure everything is working well, and part if that process is to ensure we have a consistent scoring process.

We have already seen examples of "individual" scoring !

The consistent impartiality of of a permanent scorer will help competitors know that this will be a well run and organised competition, and following our meeting last night, the organisers of this series of events certainly hope we will have the problem of dealing with hundreds of cards to worry about in the future.

To get to this stage we would need a NARPA like entry success rate, and if we do achieve this we will be delighted.

As more shooters submit their scores as scans, the workload is reduced and the storage problems diminish, so although we would encourage this, we are still pleased to see the paper targets and may well ask to see some of the scanned targets at random from time to time.

Having said that, I would not discount your idea as we could still take the option of requesting self-scored cards at random now and again and this would remove the need to have a series scorer - more like a referee who would only check a few cards at random if for any reason he felt it was worth doing at any time - and possibly never!

Or we could just make it easy and have all 3 comps.5 cards

Why? Are you struggling to count to 6?

MPL = MUSCLE Power League. Us, shall we say, more delicate of the species , (more brain than brawn) find it difficult to cock a proper spring pistol in comp more than 20 times.

Let there be a scoring God! Their word is FINAL. No ifs or buts.

Thanks Andi.

I'll include your suggestion in the rules.

I briefly mentioned the 4 cards to Bob. This is a difficult call, as there will be voters for and against.

6 cards at home, in your own time, is easily manageable; whereas 6 in a club environment maybe a trite more tricky, depending upon what else is on. The current MPL is 4 cards and the CCL is 6, so we do currently have a bit of a discrepancy.

We are, of course, open to discussion on this point, and it would be interesting to hear what others think.

I, personally, will probably shoot this at home so 6 won't be a problem.

I have experienced self scoring, and score manipulation, in other competitions, and this really spoilt it for me, so a central scoring point is a good thing to have. I do have assistance on offer for this, should it be required, so I am not anticipating to much of a problem.

Only time will tell.

Sadly i won't be able to join in with this comp, but if i was i would be delighted that its being verified so there is just one std score checking using the correct gauge, good luck all enjoy & i hope its a great success, ...mike...
