Hits and scoring

Hits A, C and D directly affect the track score. The difference between the largest and smallest factor changes the weight of C and D in the final bill.

Penalties and Competitive Damage

M (miss), NS (did not shoot) and PROC (procedure) cause significant loss of points and worsen the hit factor of the track. In balanced events, a few penalties can significantly change the ranking and percentage compared to the best in the division.

Error-Driven Training

By mapping where penalties are repeated, athletes and coaches can prioritize specific corrections and measure progress more accurately.

Points table (hits and penalties)

Hits — A (Alpha): 5 points always; C (Charlie): 4 (Major) or 3 (Minor); D (Delta): 2 (Major) or 1 (Smallest). Penalties — M (Miss), NS (No Shoot) and PROC (Procedural): -10 points each. These values are used in the calculation of track points and, together with time, form the hit factor (/o-que-e-hit-factor-ipsc). See the effect in the aggregate in /resultados-combinados-ipsc.
