How does the score change

In the larger factor, C and D are worth more points than in the smaller factor. This affects the ideal balance between aggressiveness and shot control.

Competitive impact

The same hitting performance can generate different results depending on the factor. Therefore, the comparison must respect the technical context of the division.

Data-driven decision

Analyzing history by division and type of event helps to define the most efficient strategy for each athlete profile.

When factor matters in your division

Check the test summary to see if your division was major or minor and cross-check it with /scores-e-penalties-ipsc. Then simulate scenarios in the IM hub editor if the test was imported.
