How to Score Your Test:

Point total divided by total time, multiplied by 20.

Target is an IALEFI-Q or IDPA target scored: 5 points for hits inside the inner circle, 3 points for hits anywhere else on target.

Or, 5 points for hits inside inner circle, 4 points for hits inside outer circle but outside the inner circle, and 3 points for hits anywhere else on bottle.

40 rounds completed for a possible of 200 hit points.

For example, a person scores 186 target hit points. It took him 33.02 seconds total for all 9 stages. He plugs in 186 (his accuracy point total) divided by 33.02 (his total time) and multiples that number by a factor of 20. [186/33.02 = 5.63 X 20 for a final score of 112.65]

Par is 100

Very Good is a final score of 80-100.

Advanced is 100-124.

Master is 125 and above.
