Match Scoring:
GEISSELE matches are “hit-to-move” format. Skipping a target (intentionally or accidentally) incurs full par time plus a 30-second penalty per skipped target.
Time-Based Scoring: Recorded via shot timer from start beep to final shot or par time. Penalties are added to determine finishing order (fastest time wins).
Penalties:
• Rifle target miss: +30 seconds per target.
• Pistol target miss: +15 seconds per target.
• “No Shoot” hit: +15 seconds per target (distinctly colored, briefed by staff).
• Procedural violation: +15 seconds (e.g., wrong order, position, or rule breach).
MD/RO Participation: MDs may shoot for practice, not points. ROs may shoot for points unless they helped design a stage.
Tiebreakers:
Skills Stage: A standardized GEISSELE Skills Stage, identical at all matches, breaks ties based on best time.
Precision Timing: If Skills Stage scores are equal, time to the hundredth of a second decides. Top-10 ties reshoot the Skills Stage until resolved. Outside top-10, tied shooters share averaged placement points
GEISSELE Gas Gun Series Point System
GEISSELE Points Explained
Purpose: Points determine season standings.
Performance-Based: First place earns 100 points; others are calculated as: (Winner’s score / Shooter’s score) × 100. • Example: Winner = 1,000 seconds, Second = 990 seconds, Third = 975 seconds. • Second: (1,000 / 990) × 100 = 99 points. • Third: (1,000 / 975) × 100 = 97.5 points.
Season Total: Sum of a shooter’s three best match scores. Diversity: At least one score must come from a different range.
