TEAM  SCORING

Here's how the actual scoring (and awards) is done:

The "Shoot Out" will be scored with "Age Grading" results, which means,

each age group within your team will compete head-to-head  against the other

age groups by having their times or marks "Age Graded" to determine the "best"

time or mark for each event within your team - regardless of age.  Your team's

best "Age Graded" time or mark will then be compared to the "Age Graded" times

and marks from the other teams to determine the order of finish and final team points.

       Each gender will compete for their team against the same gender from the other teams.

If you place first in your event and gender, you score 10 points for your team. 

Second place in your event and gender-8 points, third place-6 points, 

fourth place-5 points,  fifth place-4 points,  sixth place-3 points,

seventh place-2 points, and eighth place-1 point.

(All races are timed finals.)

Explanation of "Age Graded" scoring:

Our Friendly Fire Shoot Out Track & Field meet management software

enables participants in different age groups to compete head-to-head

as if they were competing in the SAME age group.

The software will Age Grade the results and determine

the best over-all time in each event, regardless

of age, through the software's unique

Age Grading capabilities.

AWARDS

Awards are given to participants with the top three "Age Graded" result in each individual event.

The first place "Age Graded" male finisher and female finisher in each event receives a custom,

handcrafted 3½ X 5 Friendly Fire Shoot Out plaque.  The second & third place Age Graded

male finisher and female finisher in each event receives a Friendly Fire Shoot Out Certificate.
