New Practiscore user have questions

Ok I am a new Practicescore User. A little background we run a range and gun shop in North East Iowa. And host events and classes every year. A local 22 club host rifle events monthly and in the last couple of years has switched to using practiscore where we have kept score on paper and have done the manual math (sometimes takes a day to get results out). This year we are holding five events and we are hosting #2 this saturday and our friend from the 22 clud has suggested we switch to practiscore to speed up the events. We loved the idea and jumped all in and purchased a tablet with case etc. And have the app installed.

Now the heart of the real question: for our events we are running it with three classes of shooter based on load out. For those running the ccw class we require 3 hits per target with scoring being 2 points for A zone 1 point for all other target ares and 0 for misses. For those in the other two classes we are running 5 hits per target. Same scoring applies. For most of the stages we allow additional shots per target with the highest hits counting. All stages are timed also so you have to move and shoot fast with highest score with lowest time winning.

Does any one have any advice on in the app how I modify the type of match and the scoring to account for our match scoring type.

After typing this out I realize we need to really decide is time a scoring penalty?

Any help would be greatly appreciated we love the idea of the app and using tech to make our matches and results faster.

The first thing I would suggest is you read this tutorial about getting started and running a match.
https://community.practiscore.com/t/getting-started-with-practiscore-web-site-how-do-i-run-a-match/82/2

Then when it comes to scoring I would like it if you would email your rule set to support@practiscore.com then we could look over it.

The reality of scoring is that there are many many scoring types that work for most all situations. What you are describing with different scoring of targets for different divisions of shooters is in reality two separate matches. Targets in the scoring app are set up a certain way. Each shooter in the match is scored against those targets.

The reality of most scoring is we shoot the same targets and work off the same timer. We are just compared against others in our same division. ie Production (limited) pistols or Open (unlimited) pistols are different divisions and shoot against each other with similar guns (ie loadouts)
Take a look around.
