Thanks Mitch! Turns out we had the super squad without knowing it. Rustin Bernskoetter won Standard, Pat Kelley won Pump and I snuck out with an Open win. I'm still not sure how I won with some seriously bad stages but ill take what I can get.

Match was a blast. It was like High Plains on steroids!

Well it turns out that there was a big issue with the scoring after they through out stage 4. Some squad or squads deleted stage 4 from their nooks and it then put all their stage times into other stages. So rather than looking for scoring errors the stats crew was retyping scores for an hour after the match. Looks like Rob Romero won Standard and Jerry Miculek won Open with Rustin and I finishing 2nd. Still not a bad weekends work but kudos should go to the two guys that won the match.

Moral of the story is don't delete anything from your nook or ipad when scoring with practiscore.

Wasn't the only problem with stage 4 an injury due to someone not wearing safety glasses?

Wasn't the only problem with stage 4 an injury due to someone not wearing safety glasses?

That stage wasn't thrown out because of the eye injury. The eye injury happened during our walk through. One of the girlfriends of our squad mate was gracious enough to activate all of the poppers for us. The very last popper she pushed over hit the flipper and it shattered the clay and the clay hit her in the face. She wasn't wearing glasses because we weren't shooting. She still would have been injured with glasses on. The stage was thrown out after our squad shot two shooters and over half of the clays shattered before they flipped. The clay flippers are just too irregular.

The original scoring on the skeet, trap, and sporting clays stages was done incorrectly. PractiScore is not setup for the type of scoring they had planned to use. Then our squad found out that we shot the all Paper Slug Fest stage using the incorrect scoring. We shot it like outlaw 3 gun with two hits anywhere or one alpha. So that stage will be thrown out as well.

We shot SlugFest scoring a neutralized target with one hit anywhere on paper. Our RO, Shawn Hicks, seemed to be pretty sure of everything, and we didn't have to do any re-shoots.

I noticed I moved up in the scoring a ways today. I wonder how all this will pan out. Man, there were a whole lot of prizes left on the prize tables after the last person went through, too. That was weird. It also seems like there was a stage where some people started with an empty gun and some started with a loaded gun. Seems like it was stage 14.

I don't know if any of this matters. It was an awesome match.

Which was stage 14?

This is how my match went...

You handled the malfunctioning gun very well Jesse. Congratulations on the win you deserved it

It turned out that I didn't win. Jerry Miculek did. If there wasn't 300 match points worth of trap, skeet and sporting clays I would have been in a lot worse shape.

Moral of the story is never quit trying and don't take apart your $3000 shotgun without adult supervision. Once I talked to Mark Roth from XRail he got me lined out with what I had wrong.

 

[drmitchgibson]

Stage 14 was two strings, one strong-hand one weak-hand. Or strong-side/weak-side, whatever. 8 targets in a semi-circle, shot from a box. It was named "Full House/Pair of 2's".

 

[jtischauser]

Did you start loaded or unloaded? We started loaded. I heard they reshot the guys that shot it first unloaded despite that being the correct way it was designed to be shot.
