For those that may not know, this is a match that uses the standard IR 50/50 target, but it is scored differently. One point is added to your score for each X shot.
That means it is possible to score 275 points per target.
One of the problems with the current IR 50/50 scoring system is one can shoot a 250 10X target and beat a 249 24 X target.
Saying this another way, and I'm fully aware this is controversial, many shooters believe the shooter that shoots the aggregate (all 25) of his/her bullets closest to the center of the target should receive the highest score.
With the current scoring system that is not always the case.
The 275 scoring system is an elegant solution without an additional expense.
However, there are problems with implementing 275 scoring. All current IR 50/50 records would have to be frozen, and new records would have to be recognized.
This has been debated in the past but up until now there has not been sufficient interests to move this idea forward.
