35) Scoring will be based on the normal scale of the ELRSO but with the exception that points will be 5,4,3,2,1 meaning 1st round impacts on targets are worth 5 points and 5thround impacts on targets are worth 1 point.
36) Scores will be tallied and winners determined by this scoring system for the match.
37) After ELRSO receives the scores from the match directors the ELRSO will add the score multipliers as used by other matches to send in to the FCSA for world ranking status.
38) The FCSA official formula for determining multipliers will be used but for ease of explanation here if a 1st, 3rd and 4th round impacts were made at a target at 2000yds then your Multiplier score would be 5x2000, 3x2000, and 2x2000 for a score of 20,000 points for that 2000yd target. This is the score that will be submitted for you to the FCSA for your world ranking to be considered into matches such as King Of 2 Miles, etc.
39) NOTE TO MATCH DIRECTORS: The World’s Longest Shot Challenge will be a 3 day event with 2 days of qualifying and 1 day of finals. Please run your matches as efficiently as possible with the layout provided. These times listed need to be strictly adhered to in order to allow the maximum number of competitors to compete in one day format matches. When looking at match competitor allowances plan 10 minutes for each shooter at each target. In figuring this its 10 minutes per shooter per target so if I have 4 targets and 12 competitors on each target it will take 8 hours to run 48 competitors through the qualifying round.
40) Example: 10 minutes x 12 shooters per target x 4 targets = 480 minutes/60 minutes= 8 hours
