I just shot my first USPSA match, actually first(alphabet soup) match ever . I didn't see the raw results at the match,which I understand ,Alpha ,Bravo ,Charlie ,Mike. etc.
What I don't understand is the final printout, here's 1 stage in which I got 2nd in(my best) pen. 0 , time 20.32 , hit factor 2.5591 , stage pts 49.7935 , stage% 71.13% Penelties & time no problem  please explain the rest, USPSA scoring for dummies if you will

Your time was 20.32s
your hit factor is the # of points divided by your time you shot a hf of 2.5591 because you shot 52pts in 20.32s. you are ranked by hit factor and given stage points depending on your hit factor as a percentage of the winners hit factor The winner had a hit factor of 3.6 the stage winner gets all the stage points (70 pts), even if you shot all "A"s he gets all the points. you get a percentage of the stage points based on your hit factor compare to the winner So your hit factor was 71% of the winners hit factor, so you only get 71% of the stage points Its a little confusing when you first start. but I like the scoring system, because depending on the hit factor, more or less weight is given to accuracy or speed. knowing what you are going to shoot a stage in, you can detrmine if you to push speed or if all "A"s are need To expand further you shot 52pts of the 70 available, about 75% of the points for the stage... you should be around 90%. you would have to had shot the stage 6s faster to get the same hit factor as the winner with your same points, but only 1 sec faster if you shot all "A"s on a low hit factor stage, shooting all "A" is a must, with a 2.5 hit factor, you are getting 2.5 points for every sec, for you have 2 sec to shoot an A. or .4 sec for each point. if you knew you have .4s to shoot an A instead of a C, you would take the extra time, 1.2 sec to shoot a A instead of a D. now on a high hit factor say 12. you are getting 12 points per sec or .08sec per point, now its not worth making a C hit up with an A and but it would make sense to make up a D. |

Thanks that helps, so which scores better ,besides the obivious, faster time with lower hits or slower time with higher hits.
I'm also a little unclear on the pistol classes ,we (my son and I)were the only ones in open. We told offical what we were shooting(24-7 & SR9) and signed up in the recommeded class, it's no big deal ,I would like to make sure I'm in the right class for next time. Thanks. |

Thanks. 90% of the points for the stage as fast as you can shoot it. You would both be in production class with 10 rnd mags if you haven't made mods to your guns Production class is scored minor, so ahooting all "A"s is even more important |
