Hello
400s were also fired by Jamie Beyerle and Katerina Emmons. Have there ever been three 400's fired in a 3-day match? Also, if I am reading the scores right Sarah Scherer had a 1198 (400+399+399) and Matt Emmons had a 1797 (600+598+599) for three days !!! It sure appears that one or two 9.9s or 9.8s in the qualification round can make all the difference. Is there any consideration to going to decimal scoring throughout the competition (qualifiaction + finals) to give a little more spread to the scores and rewarding those who shoot the most shots closer to center overall?

I would doubt whether the ISSF are thinking along those lines.PaulB wrote:Is there any consideration to going to decimal scoring throughout the competition (qualifiaction + finals) to give a little more spread to the scores and rewarding those who shoot the most shots closer to center overall?
With the rule 6.14.6 shoot-offs there doesn't seem to be much need for decimal scoring in the qualification round.
