PRS Talk PRS skills stage

Can someone please clarify for me how the skills stage settles a tie?
Are the number of hits considered before the time used or is it purely time based?
I've been told that even if someone gets zero hits quickly, this will be in favour of the number of hits recorded.
Just doesn't seem to "skillful".

Nope, hits first then time.

Nope, hits first then time.

So again, just to clarify, if at the end of match 2 shooters have equal points then they will refer to the skill stage. If shooter 1 had 6 hits and a recorded time of 45 seconds and shooter 2 has 4 hits in 35 seconds, then the winner would be shooter 1?

 

[MountainHunter]

Yes that’s correct. If however they had equal score and equal hits on the skills stage then they would resort to the time to separate the tie.

Hits first, then time.

Confusion likely arises from Practiscore, which doesn't recognize that priority. You need to manually override time to get correct placing order if someone got more hits in a slower time.

Some stages are unlimited rounds so it’s mostly about time because just about everyone cleans it unless you run out of time. Or things like the barricade you only get your 8 rounds.

I've not shot a wide breadth of matches, but I've never seen a PRS style match stage with an unlimited round count...

Well I just shot one yesterday at the Best in a Texas Match soooo

I guess I didn't see that stage. I was ROing stage 1. Which one had an unlimited round count?

I shot one where the match director misunderstood how the unlimited round count left-middle-right-right-middle-left target stage went. It's supposed to be completed once you get all 6 hits, usually done in 20-30 seconds and 6-8 rounds. The match director let people keep shooting and racking up points. I think some people burned through three mags and got 25-30 points.

There was another match with a spinner and a popper and unlimited round count. I think several barrels died on that stage.

The PRS skills stage which served as the tie breaker. 3 targets shot in order 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1. Unlimited time. Fastest time gets ranked higher if there’s a tie. It was the first stage of the second area that Jess was ROing. Maybe stage 10 if I had to take awhile guess? I didn’t have a match book so i don’t know.

Yea I mean that’s just obviously misinterpreting the stage lol. Those targets are so easy to hit you’d have insanely high scores like that haha. The way you described it is correct. Takes most folks 6-8 rounds. It’s actually a really fun stage.

Stage 12. First stage on the Ridge course. 6 possible hits, unlimited round count.
