Radar Chart (Comparative Profile)

What it does: Shows a comparative radar chart visualizing the performance profile of selected athletes in different dimensions.

What you see:

• Avg HF: Athlete's average Hit Factor across all stages
• Best HF: Highest Hit Factor achieved by the athlete in any stage
• Worst HF: Lowest Hit Factor achieved by the athlete in any stage
• No. Stages: Total number of stages completed by the athlete

How to interpret:

• The radar chart shows each athlete's "profile" in star/polygon format
• Each axis represents a different metric (Avg HF, Best HF, Worst HF, No. Stages)
• The larger the polygon area, the more complete the athlete's profile
• Compare polygon shapes to identify strengths and weaknesses
• An athlete with a large, balanced polygon has consistent performance
• An athlete with an irregular polygon may have ups and downs in performance

Practical examples:

• Athlete with large balanced polygon: Consistent performance in all dimensions - experienced athlete profile
• Athlete with very high "Best HF" but low "Avg HF": Has excellence peaks but inconsistency - needs to work on consistency
• Athlete with very low "Worst HF": Had difficulties in some stages - needs to identify and improve those stages
• Comparison between athletes: See which athlete has the most complete and balanced profile

How to use:

1. On Comparative Graphs page, select the athletes you want to compare
2. The Radar chart will appear automatically in the "Graphs" tab
3. Hover over any point on the chart to see detailed values
4. Use the legend to show/hide specific athletes
5. Export the chart as PNG if you want to save it

Tip: The Radar chart is especially useful for identifying performance patterns and comparing athletes' overall profile visually and intuitively!

Correlation Analysis

What it does: Calculates and displays the statistical correlation between different metrics for each selected athlete, showing how these variables relate and impact performance.

Types of Correlation Analyzed:

• Time vs Points: Analyzes if the athlete needs more time to score well
• Hit Factor vs Time: Analyzes how speed impacts Hit Factor
• Hit Factor vs Points: Analyzes how accuracy impacts Hit Factor

What is Correlation?

Pearson Correlation measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. It is calculated using the formula:

Where:

• r = correlation coefficient (-1 ≤ r ≤ 1)
• xi, yi = individual values of the two variables
• x̄, ȳ = variable means

Value Interpretation:

Interpretation in IPSC Context:

1. Time vs Points:

• Strong NEGATIVE correlation (r < -0.7): IDEAL! The athlete can get more points in less time. Champion profile - efficient and fast. Results in high Hit Factors.
• Moderate NEGATIVE correlation (r ≈ -0.4 to -0.7): GOOD! Indicates efficiency, but room for improvement. The athlete usually gets good Hit Factors.
• Moderate POSITIVE correlation (r ≈ +0.4 to +0.7): WARNING! The athlete needs more time to score well. This reduces Hit Factor. Needs to work on speed while maintaining accuracy.
• Strong POSITIVE correlation (r > +0.7): PROBLEM! Strong dependence between more time and more points. Very difficult to get high Hit Factors. Need to train efficiency.
• Correlation close to ZERO (r ≈ 0): NEUTRAL. Time and points vary independently. May indicate inconsistency or that the athlete adapts their style per stage.

2. Hit Factor vs Time:

This correlation shows how speed (time) impacts Hit Factor. We want NEGATIVE correlation (more time = lower HF, i.e. faster = higher HF).

• Strong NEGATIVE correlation (r < -0.7): EXCELLENT! Speed impacts HF very positively. The athlete is very efficient.
• Moderate NEGATIVE correlation (r ≈ -0.4 to -0.7): IDEAL! Speed impacts HF positively. The athlete is efficient.
• Moderate POSITIVE correlation (r ≈ +0.4 to +0.7): NOT IDEAL! Speed does not help HF. The athlete may be too slow or too fast without accuracy.
• Strong POSITIVE correlation (r > +0.7): BAD! Speed does not help HF. Need to work on efficiency.

3. Hit Factor vs Points:

This correlation shows how accuracy (points) impacts Hit Factor. We want POSITIVE correlation (more points = higher HF).

• Strong POSITIVE correlation (r > +0.7): EXCELLENT! Accuracy impacts HF very positively. The athlete scores well consistently.
• Moderate POSITIVE correlation (r ≈ +0.4 to +0.7): IDEAL! Accuracy impacts HF positively. The athlete has good accuracy.
• Moderate NEGATIVE correlation (r ≈ -0.4 to -0.7): NOT IDEAL! Accuracy does not help HF. May indicate the athlete is too accurate but too slow.
• Strong NEGATIVE correlation (r < -0.7): BAD! Accuracy does not help HF. Need to work on efficiency.

How to use:

1. On Comparative Graphs page, select the athletes you want to analyze
2. Correlation analysis will appear automatically in the "Graphs" tab
3. See the table with correlation results for each athlete and each correlation type
4. Check the "HF Impact" column to understand what each correlation means
5. Use colors (green = good, yellow = attention, red = bad) to quickly identify each athlete's profile
6. Compare the 3 correlations to understand the athlete's complete profile

Tip: Use correlation analysis to identify your strengths and weaknesses. An ideal athlete has strong negative correlation in "Time vs Points" and "HF vs Time", and strong positive correlation in "HF vs Points"!

Performance Heatmaps

What it does: Graphical visualization showing the distribution of all athletes in each stage, comparing Hit Factor (performance) with Points (accuracy).

On TDT/IDPA heatmaps use efficiency (100/time) and Top 3 by time with 0″/2″/5″ zones.

How to interpret:

• X Axis (Points): Shows how many points the athlete scored in the stage (accuracy)
• Y Axis (Hit Factor): Shows the athlete's hit factor (overall performance = points/time)
• Each point on the chart: Represents an athlete in that stage
• Colors: Darker/blue = better performance. Lighter/yellow = worse performance

What you can discover:

• If you are in the top right corner (many points + high hit factor) = excellent performance
• If you are in the bottom left corner (few points + low hit factor) = need to improve
• If you have many points but low hit factor = need to be faster
• If you have high hit factor but few points = need to be more accurate
• Compare your position with other athletes in the same division

How to use:

1. In Match Hub, click the "Heatmaps" button (fire/star icon)
2. Select a division or view all divisions together
3. Choose a stage to see the heat map
4. Hover over any point to see athlete details (name, points, hit factor, time)
5. See the Top 3 highlighted on the chart

Tip: Use heatmaps to identify which stages you need to improve speed or accuracy! If you're always in the bottom left corner, focus on training more. If you're in the top right corner, you're among the best!

Always confirm the match has active results available at the source. If there is no data at the source, the match may fail and will no longer be displayed in the list; in that case, only administrators can update it.

Import and reprocessing rules

Import (new match):

• URL must follow the ShootingHouse system pattern (format indicated above)
• Only matches with results published at the source can be imported
• If the match already exists, the system informs and you can access it or request reprocessing (if within the deadline)

Reprocessing (already imported match):

• Deadline: Matches imported more than 48 hours ago cannot be reprocessed via the button. The "Reprocess match" button only appears for matches imported within the last 48 hours.
• Hourly limit: Maximum 1 reprocessing per hour per IP address (to prevent abuse).
• Per-match cooldown: The same match cannot be reprocessed again before 8 hours from the last request.
• Reprocessing follows per-IP limits and per-match cooldown (see items above). There is no captcha on this screen.
• System matches (id_user = 2): imported without an account owner. They do not appear in My account, but any signed-in user can reprocess them on /import, with the same public rules (48 h, cooldown and per-IP limit).
• Old matches (more than 48h since import) or that need reimport due to failure must be handled by administrators. Contact: Instagram @scoring.services or WhatsApp (47) 99210-6789.

What it does: Lets you upload a file exported from WinMSS and publish the match results on the platform.

How to use:

1. Go to Import Match and open the WinMSS (.cab) tab
2. Choose the .cab file generated by WinMSS on your computer
3. Tap "Analyze file" and review the summary (name, athletes and divisions)
4. If the region or country is wrong, search and pick the correct one from the list
5. Tap "Confirm import" (you must be logged in)
6. Open the match with "View Match" and use graphs, overall, combined and other analyses

Tip: If the match already exists on the platform, you will see a warning before confirming. The match source is shown as WinMSS in the Hub and listings.

Using Filters

Most pages have top filters that allow:

• Filter by Division: See only Open, Production, Standard, etc.
• Filter by Category: See only Lady, Senior, Junior, etc.
• Filter by Class: See only GM, M, A, B, C
• Search by Name: Find a specific athlete quickly

Tip: Combine filters for more specific analyses!

Sharing Links

You can share any page you're viewing! Just copy the link from the browser address bar.

Links maintain applied filters, so you can share exactly what you're seeing with others.

Tip: If you apply filters (division, category, etc.) and share the link, the recipient will see exactly the same filtered data!

To teach someone how to add a home screen shortcut, share this fixed link: shortcut in the documentation.

Short link hubs (/ig, /w, /l)

Link-in-bio style pages with buttons to the platform or a specific match. Each click adds UTM parameters to track the channel (Instagram, WhatsApp, or generic link).

Platform hub (no match ID)

• /ig — Instagram bio
• /w — WhatsApp sharing
• /link — generic channel (Telegram, email, QR code)
• /l — legacy shortcut; redirects to /link

Match-specific hub

Substitua {id} pelo número da prova (import_id). O ano é resolvido automaticamente no servidor.

• /ig/{id} — atalhos da prova (UTM Instagram)
• /w/{id} — atalhos da prova (UTM WhatsApp)
• /l/{id} — atalho curto genérico
• /link/{id} — URL canônica do hub da prova

The match hub shows buttons for Hub, Overall, Graphs, Heatmaps, Stages, Match Editor (when available), and back to all links.

How to get these links in the UI

• Na lista de provas (/list) ou na página inicial, use o botão Compartilhar — opções Direto (/l), WhatsApp (/w) e Instagram (/ig).
• No hub da prova, o mesmo modal gera /l/{id}, /w/{id} e /ig/{id} para aquela prova.

Essas páginas usam noindex, follow (não entram no Google como páginas indexáveis), mas têm preview Open Graph para quando o link é colado em redes sociais.

Are data updated in real time?

Yes! During ongoing matches, data is updated automatically. You can see the date and time of the last update on each page. For finished matches, data remains static.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes! The platform works perfectly on phones, tablets and computers. The design was optimized for small screens, with large, easy-to-tap buttons. You can use all features on any device.

To pin an icon on your home screen (iPhone or Android), see the full guide at Home screen shortcut or share this tutorial link.

Access via the Discussions button in the Match Hub. Use the ⋮ menu to report content that breaks community guidelines.

What does Hit Factor mean?

Hit Factor is the score divided by time. It is the main metric used to classify athletes in IPSC matches. The higher the hit factor, the better the performance. For example: 120 points in 20 seconds = 6.0 hit factor.

What is PSBL?

PSBL (Percentage of Possible Points) is the percentage of possible points the athlete achieved in the match.

It is calculated by dividing the athlete's total points by the maximum possible points (number of targets × 5 points). For example, if an athlete scored 900 points in a match with 1000 possible points, their PSBL is 90%.

What do hits A, C, D and penalties M, NS, PROC mean?

Hits:

• A (Alpha): Perfect hit - always worth 5 points (regardless of factor)
• C (Charlie): Good hit - 4 points with Major Factor or 3 points with Minor Factor
• D (Delta): Acceptable hit - 2 points with Major Factor or 1 point with Minor Factor

Penalties:

• M (Miss): Error - always -10 points
• NS (No Shoot): Hit on prohibited target - always -10 points
• PROC (Procedural): Procedure error - always -10 points

Important: Penalties (M, NS and PROC) are always the same, regardless of factor. The difference between Major and Minor Factor is only in the scoring of C and D hits.

What is the difference between Major and Minor Factor?

The difference is in the scoring of C (Charlie) and D (Delta) hits:

• Major Factor: C = 4 points, D = 2 points
• Minor Factor: C = 3 points, D = 1 point

A (Alpha) hit always worth 5 points and penalties (M, NS, PROC) always -10 points, regardless of factor. The factor is determined by the athlete's firearm caliber.

How is the Combined calculated?

The combined is calculated as follows:

1. For each stage:
   • Calculate possible points: (A + C + D + M + NS + PROC) × 5
   • Subtract penalties: (M × 10) + (NS × 10) + (PROC × 10)
   • The result is the stage points
2. The athlete with the highest hit factor (points/time) in each stage receives maximum points for that stage
3. Other athletes receive points proportional to their hit factor relative to the best hit factor
4. The combined total is the sum of points from all stages

In summary: The combined compares all athletes' performance across all stages, giving more points to those with the best hit factor in each stage.

Why can percentages have small variations?

Percentages and points may have a ±0.01 variation due to data collection being limited to 4 decimal places and the data type not allowing calculation with the precision needed to completely eliminate these small variations. This is normal and does not affect athlete rankings.
