Standards
Event standards are set out in the GR&P and Phoenix booklet. They are set for most events.
At the Phoenix Meeting gold, silver and bronze standards are allocated points and all competitors are eligible for a Grand Master Standards medal by accumulating an appropriate number of points.
The current Grand Master achievement score is 20 point based on the following allocation
- Bronze Standard: 1 point
- Silver standard: 3 points
- Gold standard: 5 points
Standards breakpoints are reviewed every year but nobody has the time to plough through years worth of data or annual results to make sure all these standards are completely 100% accurate and fair. This would be nigh on impossible in any case and they are only really supposed to be a bit of fun. Obvious errors, omissions and updates are addressed and anything pointed out will be looked at.
A few standards were changed for the 2012 season. As a result some data was collected mainly to review how the Open and Classic Gallery Rifle events introduced in to the 2010 season were progressing.
The following spreadsheet contains this data. Its not an exhaustive list. As can be seen a few events are proposed to be tweaked for next year as indicated.
If anyone has anything they thing needs looking at or if they think any standards are wildly inconsistent please let me know.
