Scoring System (2026 Season)

A competitor will be able to earn a maximum of 100 points at any given event.  To score the maximum points, the top scoring competitor will also need to shoot a perfect score on the forced position lanes.  The score used to compare is the top raw score shot at the event plus 0.1 * Possible Standing Score + 0.01 * Possible Kneeling Score.  Raw scores will be reported as a decimal value, such as 55.34 means the competitor shot a 55 scoring 3 standing points and 4 kneeling points.

If the top scorer shoots a 55 out of 60 possible points, 55 is the top score.  If there are 6 possible standing points and 6 possible kneeling points, and the top shooter scored 3 points in standing and 4 points in kneeling, the top shooter's score will be represented as a 55.34.  The series score will be calculated as 55.34/55.66 = 99.43%.  55 was the top score + 0.66 for the total possible forced position score  A person that scored a 51.56 at the same event will earn 51.56/55.66 = 92.63%. 

If for some reason, the top score does not exceed 75% of the possible points, a benchmark score will be used to compare scores.  The benchmark will be 75% of the total raw score + the decimal representation of possible forced position points.   For example, if the match has 60 possible points, then 75% is a 45/60, and if there are a possible 6 points standing and 6 points kneeling, the benchmark score will be 45 +0.66 = 45.66.  If the top scorer at the event shot a 44.42, their series score will be 44.42/45.66 = 97.28% for the event.  

A competitor's top series score at a club is their club series score.  It is ok to shoot at a club multiple times to try to improve your score.  Again, 100 is the max you can score at a club.  There may be multiple competitors that score a 100 at a club in a season.  At a single event, ties are not broken, if two competitors finish with the same raw score, they will earn the same series points. 

Participation is an important factor in this series, so even if you did not finish, you will be awarded at least one point to indicate you participated in the event.  If your score is known at the point of DNF, that score will be used (if it's above a 1).  For example, if someone stops shooting after scoring 5 points, they can score a 5 / (top score) for their series points. 

A competitor's top 4 club scores are used to determine their series score for the season, with the max 4-club score being 400.  The fifth club score is used as a tie breaker.  If still tied for the 5-club score, the number of participated events will be used as a tie breaker.  And, if still tied (with in a division) attempts will be made to manually determine head-to-head event scores in a skins-like scoring system to determine the season winner.  If still tied, then it's a tie. 

A competitor can join multiple divisions throughout the season.  For example, you can shoot PCP Hunter for the first half of the season, and shoot PCP Open the second half (or mix and match throughout the season).  You will generate series points within the series division(s) you are participating.  Participation points are determined at the competitor level, regardless of the variety of divisions participating.  So, if you shoot 10 events as PCP Hunter, and 11 events as PCP Open, you will have 21 participation points that can be used for the tie breaker in PCP Hunter, and 21 participation points for PCP Open.  If you participate in multiple divisions, you will see your name listed multiple times in the series results. 

Divisions generally follow the AAFTA divisions, but may be combined for this series due to minimal participation in certain AAFTA divisions.

The following divisions are recognized, as described by their AAFTA division affiliation. 

  • PCP Hunter - AAFTA PCP Hunter
  • Piston Hunter - AAFTA Piston Hunter
  • PCP Open/WF - AAFTA PCP Open 
  • PCP WFTF - AAFTA PCP WFTF
  • Piston Open/WF - AAFTA Piston Open
  • Piston WFTF - AAFTA Piston WFTF
  • PCP Unlimited - Anything that doesn't fit the other classifications.  This is a record keeping classification, and not expected to be an "awarded" series division.  Still counts toward participation.

* 2024 was not an official Mason-Dixon FT Series season, scores were collected throughout the season to serve as a proof of concept.  Some 2024 events do not have complete scores and may have been recreated from the memory of those in attendance.  It's believed that any missing scores did not affect the outcome of those toward the top of the rankings.
