After a match, many athletes open overall and stop at placement. Combined answers the next question: what happened on each stage.

## Overall — ranking

- Ranks athletes by total score (stage points) or division percentage
- Best for “what was my place?” and quick category comparison
- Does not show A/C/D or each stage time on the same screen

## Combined — per-stage audit

- Spreadsheet-style table: hits, MISS/NS/PROC, time, HF and points per stage
- Best for “which stage cost me points/time?” and post-match audit
- Foundation for heatmaps, best stages and athlete detail

- Cross-division comparison within the same match

## Combined structure

The overall brings together, for each athlete, the sum of the points and times of all stages, the overall hit factor of the match and, when available, the percentage in relation to the best in the division — basis for the overall and to compare who was more consistent between the stages.

## Correct interpretation

The final classification depends on the accumulated performance. A single stage can change positions, especially in balanced matches.

## Tactical use

Combined + analysis by stage allows you to identify where specific adjustments deliver the greatest increase in ranking.

## Concepts linked to the combined

Hit factor per stage: /pages/hit-factor. Penalties: /pages/scoring-penalties. Power factor: /pages/major-minor-scoring.
