We are using PCSL Kilo targets for Points Down matches. We score K-zone as two A hits (zeroes the target), A as 0 points down, C as 1 point down, and D as 3 points down.
In addition, we are halving the points when calculating the total (similar to how IDPA did it previously).
What match type in the Android app can support this use case?
Our current default, ‘Points Down,’ with a .5 coefficient in the match settings, is a bit complex. The KACD target requires a lot of mental gymnastics for the scoring officer. We would greatly appreciate a more straightforward solution, such as just tapping ‘two Alpha’ USPSA-style or increasing the Alpha/Charlie/Delta counter (per target for accountability).
We use Kilo targets for Poins Down scoring. Each scoring zone is assigned a certain number of points down. We would like to be presented with the HF-style grid input for targers, which will be converted in the total points down on the back end.
When I asked in April if this is possible, you replied that it will be in PS 2. I’m setting up PS 2 for the next match and trying to find the scoring type that supports that input.
I see. It looks like I misunderstood you back then. I was referring to support of PCSL targets in HF scoring.
I’ve had several requests to allow scoring Point Down matches with explicit target zones, but all PD matches normally using targets that don’t specify zones, but PDs and calling them out does not work. That’s why it is called Points Down scoring.
In your case you can use Time Plus match and create time-penalties for those scoring zones. It won’t let you to track individual targets, but you’ll have the per-zone totals for each stage.
The ICORE scoring also uses a Time Plus variant and it does have per-target zones. But we don’t have an option to change it to use custom penalty values and it is set to A: 0, B: 1, C: 2, M: 5, NS: 5.
Got it, thank you for the explanation. Just to be clear, scoring-zone table input that converts to customizable number of points down is not on the roadmap, correct?
@Tom_Kazakov not really. The point of “points down” scoring is that they are entered as a number of points down.
What you are doing is more like ICORE scoring (each zone has a time-penalty value). And we may add an option to customize those zone-penalties. Though that scoring is limited to XABCMNS zones and has no room for adding more.
