Time: The competitor's performance time is an essential part of the final result. The time starts from the first shot and ends at the last stop plate Calculation formula: The final score is calculated by dividing the sum of hit points by the execution time. This gives the competitor's “Hit Factor”, which is: Hit Factor=Execution Time Sum of Hit Points​Rankings: Competitors are ranked based on their “Hit Factor” values, from highest to lowest
