Custom miss penalty

PractiScore Tools PractiScore 2 Scoring Apps

I have read other posts about custom scoring (e.g. Custom Scoring Template) but I am having trouble making this work for me.

I am using the latest version of the Practiscore 2 app and am trying to configure it for use at my club. We use a scoring system similar to USPSA except with misses scored at -5 rather than -10. If I choose “modify fields” in the app then I see M scored as 1.00, which I find confusing. I tried changing this to 0.50 but this seems to round down to 0, causing misses to not be tracked at all.

Even better would be if I could link this to class so that novice had a -5 penalty and expert had a -10 penalty

@Josh_Spence we have support for editing HF points or penalties in the app. Generally, allowing HF scoring to use arbitrary points or penalties is a can of worms we don’t want to be open. Let alone supporting penalty values tied to classes or categories.

What you looked at - are the target zone point multipliers. Those are used in several sports (e.g. IPSC has 2x bonus targets in several disciplines).

If you want to have arbitrary penalties, you are better of to use the TimePlus with points scoring.
