Following a meeting with Phil who has offered to take on the job of scoring all of the MPL 6 yard cards ( yes he does have an Eagle Eye scoring probe) it is looking like the proposed rules are just about right ( lets keep it simple) and so we are almost ready to start promoting this new venture and see how many we can get to give it a go.
Phil can accept scores from scanned copies of the targets each month with coloured card underneath for those that are technically minded and fearful of the GPO (or just too tight to buy a stamp), and we may include a suitable coloured backer in every entry pack to help with this option.
Shot cards can be handed in to RMTC on any club night for Phil to score (for those that live close enough to do this) or posted to an address yet to be confirmed, so we have three ways to choose from for returning the cards each month.

Indeed it was a very productive meeting.
Hopefully I should get a draft pdf of the rules out over the weekend, for a final proof read before going live.
Kind regards,
Phil

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!

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.

My one slight contention is with - ' ....with a witness to sign the shot cards to confirm they have been shot by the competitor...'
As I will be shooting down my hall way (NOT my back passage ) I will have all my doors locked. For safety s sake I do not want anyone else in my house. (Im giving all the servants the day off. )
