Statistics in practical shooting is not a luxury for the elite — it is a filter to know if you are improving in the right division, on the right stage and in the type of error that costs the most points.

## Statistics in the IM hub

Athletes by division, ELO and macro view of the platform.

## Match statistics vs career statistics

In the match, you look at the overall, percentage compared to the best in the division and details by stage — you answer “how was I today?”. In his career, he crosses several imported matches, averages by type of stage (short/medium/long) and ELO ranking — he answers “am I rising or stagnating?”. The IM hub concentrates athlete search, stats by division and platform_stats; scoring.services offers educational pages and public comparisons at /tools.

## Metrics that matter most in IPSC

Hit factor (points/time), A/C/D distribution, M/NS/PROC count, total time and PSBL (% of possible points) form the core. Consolidated statistics by division compare you with the average of those competing in Open, Production, etc. Heatmaps show whether you win with accuracy or pace — see /pages/ipsc-analysis-guide and /pages/performance-heatmaps.

## ELO ranking and competitive level reading

The ELO summarizes the history of implicit comparisons between performances in aggregated events — useful for seeing trends, not for replacing the score of an official stage. The /pages/ranking-elo-ipsc page explains the concept; the tool lives at /search-shooter/elo.

## Comparison and performance analysis

To compare performance between athletes or against visual references, use the comparison at /pages/comparative-graphs and the hub tools at im.scoring.services (ELO, stats by division and evolution by stage).

## When to use each type of statistic

During the match week: focus on stages similar to those in the briefing. Between seasons: ELO, evolution per year and platform stats to see trends. Before changing division or pistol: consolidated statistics by division in /pages/division-stats.

## Tools linked to statistics

Compare athletes in /comparison; see evolution in /pages/athlete-evolution; ELO ranking at /elo and macro view at /platform_stats.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where can I see statistics without paying?

Public consultations in the IM hub and various views in scoring.services; see /pages/ipsc-results.

### Are statistics by division fair?

Yes, as long as you filter division and category before comparing — mixing Open with Production distorts averages.

### Which page delves into IPSC statistics?

/pages/platform-stats-guide e /pages/division-stats no guia temático.

### Where is the complete practical shooting index?

In the hub /pages/practical-shooting-guide and, for IPSC themes, in /pages/ipsc-guide with links to each tool.
