How does 10x scoring work?

[KodiakJac]

Hi guys!

Just starting to read about Benchrest scoring, and I think I've got some of the basics down, but how does 10x scoring work? I know what a 10x shot looks like on the target, but how does it affect your score in a match?

For instance...

Does a 247 beat a 246-10x?

Does a 247-10x automatically beat a 247?

How do multiple 10x targets affect your score? For instance, how would three 10x targets be recorded on your scorecard? 247-(3)10x etc?

So, is 10x scoring used as a tie breaker?

Thanks!

your score of 247 plus 10 of those being X's = beats just 247 no X's
OR your 247 10X beats the 247 9X
OR your 247 247X tie's anothers 247 247X and you have a shoot off to determine who wins .

X’s are used to break ties. If two are tied on score and X’s then you go the the first target, first bull and whoever has the highest score wins. If they tied on score on the first bull then you go to bull number two and so on until the winner is found. ARA and N50 use this method. ARA uses worst edge scoring and N50 uses the more popular best edge scoring. Both organizations use scoring plugs of differing diameters.

Thanks, guys!

As I've been reading about benchrest scoring, I saw someone describe the difference in scoring as...
Worst Edge = Pessimist scoring
Best Edge = Optimist scoring
