Benchrest Online Benchrest Competition Rules

Generally on double shots on one Bull it is scored the lower of the Two shots!

That’s not the case with the major 100yd events, they score the higher shot. I will try to figure out how the ELEY app scores everything. The idea behind using the ELEY app is that it organizes the match, scores the targets and keeps track of the series with minimal intervention. If we turn this into a project where someone has to score and tally the scores etc., I doubt it will get off the ground. No one wants to even be a referee .

A bit counter intuitive, so what’s to stop people from taking more than 1 shot?? I believe BR 50 has it appropriate with lowest scores? Carry On

If you take an extra shot, you get penalized -10. Each shot over 25 in the target area results in -10 points and so there would be no incentive in taking an extra shot. With the two shots on the same target, the assumption is that you missed the adjacent target. If you have one hit on the same target that’s a 10 and one that’s a 5, you score a ten, but the assumption is that you also have a target that has a zero for a 10 out of a possible 20 points. If the assumption is wrong and your other 24 targets all have one pellet strike, you may have scored a 10 vice a 5, but you also get hit with a -10 for that second pellet. Now, I don’t know how ELEY scores it, but I’d assume probably however 50m Benchrest does. I’ll find out. A quick glance indicates it will score it similar to N50, lower score and -1 penalty.

we ALL have to work off the honor system I think most of us enjoy what we do and its a non issue : )

I can tell you from using this app over the past winter in our indoor league, taking the photo for scoring is the hardest part. For the best results, make sure your target is flat. If shooting on a backer board, it's best to paint it black; this helps a lot. Double-check the score; you can delete it and take another scoring picture. Sometimes you need to take several scoring pics to make sure your score matches what you are seeing for the score. When taking the pictures make sure you camera is centered and level when taking the picture for the most accurate scoring. It is an easy app to use, though! This will be a fun event!

Thanks for sharing that. I went to the dollar store and paid $1.25 For a black poster board. I haven’t tried it yet. Personally I hope this takes off and we can have two different levels of competition. One league for just some fun, shoot what ya got competition and another one with more defined rules for somewhat serious competition. But as Pan60 stated, it’s all, based on honor and integrity. You have the ability to review the score that the app gives you and editing it if you don’t agree or retake it. As Duchunter007 mentioned, how you take the photo is also important. I will work on some tutorials and tips to help.
