I don't know the difference since I'm always at the bottom...
I'm for whatever the majority likes.

Rank only applies on the immediate match. You simply add the rank you came in at for each stage. Ex.

Stage 1 you shot 2nd
Stage 2 you shot 4th
Stage 3 you shot 1st
Stage 4 you shot 15th

Your overall match rank would be 22nd. Lowest rank wins etc.

I like time also. Being the democratic sort (not to be confused with the party) that I am I thought I'd throw it out there.

Post scores both ways, so one can see.

Fair scoring is what I do care about-
Ranks points don't cut it.

I agree with Lumpy, print it both ways so those who have a preference can see it their way.

Hi Rusty,
We missed you at the Father's Day match yesterday. It was great fun. I sent the scores out in this mornings mail. Grumpy want me to do a couple of plugs for participation on the forums. Any advice or conversation on how best to do that?

I posted the scores. Rather than post two different tables you can simply look at the Rank column in the Final section to the right of you alias. You will see how the order would be different if using Rank. For June there were differences.

Hi Grumpy! My understanding is like this. If, with ten shooters, you finished stage one in 5th place, Rank score of 5, then, really had trouble on the next couple of stages, with a finish of 10th in stage 2 and 9th in stage three. Then you pulled it all together and finished 1st in stage four, you would end up with an overall rank of the sum total of the four stage ranks, in this case your rank score would be 25. Since there are many possible ways to add up four numbers, from one to ten, that total 25, a tie rank score would be broken by total time. While I never look at rank score to see where I finished, rank scoring is how I measure my consistency. I try to look at it like shooting a small group at a 100 yard target. It is better to shoot a four shot group that is five inches in diameter, which isn't all that small, than it is to shoot one perfectly centered bull's-eye then one off the edge of the paper then one in the nine ring then one in the six ring. I could be completely full of beans however! At least now you can see that in a match with ten shooters and four stages a person could end up with a rank score of 40. I believe that rank scoring is only used at very large events so you won't have to deal with it here.

Best Regards
Michael

Doc you would have had second place on Sunday if we used rank scoring. ;)

How about the shooter that had 14 misses, and came in first over-all.
